chrisp65 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Without wishing to spoil the joke, sign surely cannot be real. Since when has confectionery been crisps? Regardless of the spelling mistake on the sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2022 Standard captive audience / London weighting prices I'd have thought I'll wager that Arsenal is much higher having paid £6.50 for a pie at the Ashburton Grove over ten years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Just popped out to get some salad. Noticed that the packs of salad tomatoes now contain 4 instead of 6. Not only are they putting up prices, they are also downsizing what we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to significant consumer research, shoppers are more content to pay the same price for less than pay more for the same.

CVByrne Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Shrinkflation isn't accounted for in the inflation measure because the cost stays the same for something despite you getting less of it. So we never really fully measure inflation correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyjsg Posted August 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2022 I used to be quite blasé when buying stuff for the kids when out for the day, last Thursday I went to the Tower of London with my two youngest, my son wanted ice cream (4.80 a scoop) and I said yes you can have ice cream.....in 15 mins from the Tesco Express down the road. Saying that I did get stitched up for the worlds most expensive packet of M&Ms from the store on Leicester Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifa points for the lad all but stopped (apart from today as it’s his birthday). Less eating out or take aways now. Other bits and bobs I’d usually buy without thinking I’m not bothering with.
