£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????

That was very unclucky

Sorry posted before I put 😅😅😅

Bloody Mumsnet and their new platform ugh

I bet he was spitting feathers

There's a little Waitrose near me, they are more expensive
A: Because it's Waitrose
B: Petrol station shops are more expensive anyway BUT I was in there earlier and 6 eggs cost £2.50, OK they weren't Happy eggs, they were Waitrose own brand, so there is a massive mistake somewhere OP!

Were you in a really expensive car and they put the price up because of that?

Or was it a cheep hatch-back?

Cluck me, did he also buy some magic beans while he was in there?

(Although my money’s on a cheeky packet of tobacco and hoping he can sneak it under the “Cor, you wouldn’t BELIEVE this prices round here!” radar.)

Hi everyone! Thanks for contributing to the thread, we are closing it now as there are a lot of posts that break Talkguidelines.

Have a great evening!

Hi all,

We have re-opened this thread due to popular request, however there are a lot of posts that break guidelines - mainly by way of personal attacks towards OP and her husband and also trollhunting. Let's keep it civil. ;-) ps great puns.

eggstatic now

I can see 2 deletions, have some actually gone totally and a few posters quite rightly calling the husband a numpty

Have we gone all netmums? You're going to be busy with the thread closing button if that's where the bar is now 😂

2 deletions? And you were going to pull it?

I wonder whether the cashier deliberately overcharged. Have you considered calling the police? Surely fraudulent sales of milk and eggs should result in tem being in custardy.

This one has killed me

And to think we nearly lost it 🤪

It's bizarre, OP.

If you'd said that he'd come back with change that meant he'd paid £14 for 6 eggs and 2 pints of milk I could understand it - the change would be wrong by £10.

But with the detail of £10 for eggs and £4 for the milk, it can't then be explained by getting the wrong change.

Did he know the eggs were £10 before he handed over the payment?

Baffling!

Is this him?!

Yay its back. That's eggsellent. I'm over the egg and spoon (moon)
Ill get my coat, shall I 😂

I would really love to know why my post was delete. What eggsactly did I say that ruffled your feathers? I’m feeling a bit pecked on here. 😞

I imagine your now legendairy hen pecked husband is hatching a plan to fly the nest. You might soon be free range.

People just need to lay off the troll hunting. When MN is on form it’s hard to beat threads like this.

Welcome to brexit.

£10 for 6 eggs?

He's going to end up with egg on his face over this! 💥
