What’s your most expensive single scoop ice cream with waffle cone so far this year?

[imacroissantgirl]

Paid £3.80 recently Suffolk coast, touristy hot spot of course. May half term £3.00 Somerset. Nice quality but blimey…
Is this the average?

I do this too. We always have an upside down lunch as eat the ice creams as soon as we arrive anywhere. I did pay four quid each but it was nice ice cream.

Afraid not, we didn’t do the coast - all inland - so Montalcino, Chianti, Siena etc.

A single scoop? Has to be a double! Preferably English lakes Thunder and lightning. £4.50-500

DH paid £6 each for 4 single cones at a cricket match. I'd actually asked for a large whippy 99. He said he got the Italian one as no queue and the Whippy ones had a big queue. The whippy was £4.50 with a flake so not surprised single cone Italian for £6 had no queue. It wasn't even that nice and a tiny scoop. DH claims not to have noticed until he paid but h didn't want to queue.

£4 for a single scoop, no flake (don't like 'em, think they taste plasticy). It was really good quality ice cream though and it was a big scoop. More than enough. DC had 2 scoops and couldn't finish it.

About £22 for 3 ice creams at an ice cream shop over looking Windsor Castle. Still can't believe it!

I am in Essex the most I've paid is £4.50 from an ice cream van for a kids 99! It's a joke ain't it! In my local park cafe they cost £3.40 with a flake! Rip off but my daughter always wants one when we are over there lol

North Wales £4.50. It's delicious and made on the premises but still a lot to pay!

£5.50 at Badminton Horse Trials.

£6. It was tiny, even for a 4 year old.

£7.50 for a small cone/ tub in venchi on Carnaby street. I paid extra for the choc hazelnut layer which I didn’t realise was extra. It was nice but bloody hell.

Single scoops down here Roskillys is £3

£4

£3.15 for 1 scoop with free flake and sauce if wanted - Portsmouth.

pretty standard but we live on the coast (not far from Portsmouth) so rarely ever actually buy ice creams when out but ds and I had to go to the hospital to pick up his splint so decided to make an outing of it 😂

Usually buy the farm foods magnum rip offs at £2 for 8.

I'd expect to pay minimum £4.50 for a single scoop from an ice cream parlour with homemade ice cream when you're anywhere nice? Don't think I've seen it cheaper than that in my home town or anywhere else in the UK. I wouldn't bother with an ice cream van ice cream, really.

I was out with my DS3.5 and had promised him an ice cream to entice him out. Actually didn't buy one at the first ice cream van and walked to the next one thinking it might be cheaper (it wasn't). In between ice cream vans he kept asking if we didn't have enough money. Broke my heart. I bought him an ice cream but not myself and said we could have another at home. £5.50 London park.

Try Vietri sul Mare. It's at the end of the Amalfi coast. We loved it, though of course It's not as beautiful as Amalfi etc

When I went to Amalfi we walked much further out, away from the touristy bit and found a very traditional trattoria. It was fab and a third of the price.

I've paid £7 multiple times over the last week for 99s, one was at Wembley after Oasis, and the others were at Wilderness Festival, absolute daylight robbery but try telling my 6 year old that!

But... if you're in Italy WHY would you want industrial big brand ice cream!!

£5 for a Mr Whippy from an Ice cream van at a festival in the South of England. Visited Clacton a week later, and was very pleasantly surprised to get lovely salted caramel ice cream in a wafer cone for only £2 something, I guess seaside resorts are finally realising that holiday makers are on a budget.

@Mydadsbirthday
A tight budget?

I agree on the double scoop but this was for small children. Sounds like I had a bargain!

Normally I’d do this but not an option everywhere..

Update…4.50 today 🤦‍♀️

$9 for two scoops, at a gelato place just outside Central Park on Sunday.
