Jason Bourne Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 A lot of shops have took it as a license to print money. If you shop around you can get cheaper stuff, Home bargains for household and non perishables for example, jack fulton for frozen stuff etc, Primark for clothes?? But then you've got to mix amongst poor people, and nobody wants to be seen to be doing that. Do those discount stores offer a home delivery service?

NorthernStar Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The big rip off has been going on for a long time now, no charges have been pressed. The thieving bankers are infact continuing to stuff their pockets with our money how is this allowed to continue its soo blatant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 So shop around! Many shops offer 'loss leaders' to attract customers. Customers who will hopefully buy other items which have higher profit margins. No shop can afford to sell everything at a loss. Most shoppers don't really bother to try to save money ... If they did, why do they keep buying over-priced 'prepared' foods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If you want convenience food, you can expect to pay convenience food prices. You may well get convenience (public or private) taste, but that's your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well get convenience (public or private) taste, but that's your choice. Ah, well, there's "ready" ready-meals that cost about £4 each and there's "add some boiling water to a dehydrated packet of savoury rice" ready meals that costs about 60p from Asda. I go for the latter. It's surprisingly tasty, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bourne Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Lynx shower gel used to be £2 a few months back, now it's £2.70. I've stopped bathing now. In the interests of hygiene (mine), I should let you know that Lynx shower gel is on offer at Wilkos for just 98p. There's a cool metal one in silver - it looks like the liquid that the T1000 is made of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I overheated an egg in a microwave once. It egg-sploded. The missus was not a happy bunny when she had to clean it up the next morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
