£10 for 6 supermarket eggs!

[ArtichokeAardvark]

We're on holiday in Norfolk, and needed some eggs. Stopped at a Shell garage for petrol and asked DH to nip into the Little Waitrose attached for a box of 6. He came out looking shell-shocked, having just spent £10 on a box of crappy supermarket quality eggs! Not lovely local eggs which I might have understood, but 6 of those bog standard Happy Egg Co ones! The idiot didn't get a receipt or I'd be fuming on the Waitrose twitter feed.

He also spent £4 on 2 pints of waitrose semi skim milk.

Is this normal for a Little Waitrose? It wasn't a motorway services, just a local Shell garage. Or has the cost of living crisis hit Norfolk particularly hard????

Husband’s definitely playing a yolk on you. I’d get back to waitrose with all the kings horses and all the kings men and I wouldn’t take Henny Penny less than a full refund. Go tomorrow- it’s fry day.

Total bullshit. I live in Norfolk and there has never been, nor ever will be eggs that are sold for £10.

Your dh is having you on.

It has been established the Happy Eggs in little Waitrose at a shell garage in Norfolk (fake ham one) is £2.09!!!

Fakenham!!

He shelled out a tenner for eggs? How eggstravagant! And another £4 on milk? How dairy?!!

It must have been an error.

Oh come on, you can do better than that.

Maybe the shop was just trying their cluck?

I know wairtose is expensive, but that's eggscruciating

How dairy?!!

👏👏

They charged for ten boxes, no?

I hear the coop are better value.

Cracking thread, this.

He definitely ova paid. Nest time, he needs to refuse to pay so much eggstra. Try not to brood over it too much.

They must have been pulling his (L)egg

Just clucking in for the update from OP when she gets her money back, and for all the eggshell-ent puns 🥚 🐣 🍳 😁

Your dh has definitely made a mistake somewhere!!….there’s no way anywhere is charging a tenner for eggs (yet!!). It may well have been a cashier/barcode error but your dh should have questioned it without hesitation - what planet does he live on to think that that price was correct?!! I think you have to raise an eyebrow at his ignorance in addition to the shop’s error!!

£10:00 for 6 eggs. They've got to be yolking haven't they. Eggstortionate doesn't even begin to cover it.
You could buy chicken to lay the eggs for you for less than that.

Next time you should chick your receipt sooner!

Wow that's just too much!

This is a cracking thread!

I bet the DH will be walking on eggshells when the OP tells him she knows actual cost was £2.09

Eggstremely likely they've laid a mistake. I hope you recoop your money.

How dairy?!!

Bravissima!

Or he's lying and didn't want to admit to the scratch cards.
