Crisps price variation......

StevieP · 5 Jan 2010 at 17:12

I wouldnt normally post about such a silly little thing but I've just been down to my local Spar shop and fancied a nice pack of Cheese & Onion McCoys!

No price tag near the box so I assumed they would be around 40p as I'd bought a pack yesterday and thats how much they were in Tescos.

Imagine my horror when I got to the checkout with my 50 pence piece in hand and the puddin behind the counter charged me 82p for them!?!?!?!?!?! :eek:

I know its only 82p but OVER DOUBLE THE PRICE is ridiculous!!! :mad:

Anyway....rant over....

82p for a normal pack of mcoys ?? thats motorway service station prices!

Abraham · 5 Jan 2010 at 17:15

they cost about that in my pub, maybe even more, not seen them that much in a normal shop though

They aren't even nice crisps.

Maccy · 5 Jan 2010 at 17:16

They cost 80p at our pub, but in a shop that's ridiculous.

You won’t be buying them from there again in a hurry.

Walkers Sensations > all

GingerNinja1989 · 5 Jan 2010 at 17:18

Jeez, they're around 35p here, or 50p in the pub!

It's Spar what you expect they over charge for everything.

Fixed. If you say otherwise you're a monkey.

StevieP · 5 Jan 2010 at 17:20

I find Walkers Sensations are fine for a party but to just sit & chomp through a pack I like the chunkiness of the McCoys!!

StevieP

ps. However - all crisps taste better when they arent yours and you are just nicking one on the way past!!!

I can appreciate them being more (my mum and dad used to run a Spar shop so I know the history!) - my issue is with the size of the mark-up!
I would have accepted 50p - maybe even 60p - but 82p!?!?! :eek:

Disgusted!

Nope they are MAN crisps! Be damned if we are going to buy them and then complain they taste like cack.

Thats a stupid price lol! In our local villiage shop which is now owned by some indians they under change me by 5p everytime i go in there! unless the shelf prices arnt up to date with the till prices, which i think is highly unlikely seeing as its such a small shop!
