Cyclone Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 1 litre of milk (perhaps, if you shop around). 1 loaf of bread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retep Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Not much difference really, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poundland and only 90p at the Wadsley Bridge store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Paintbrushes, bubblebath, a book, CD, DVD, Hot Wheels toy car, 6 pack of decent alkaline AA batteries, Toblerone... tons of stuff actually, from Poundland. I'll sell you a 10 pence piece for a quid ---------- Post added 21-09-2016 at 17:47 ---------- A trolley! Hah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 So things are the same prices as they were in 1990 ? I seem to recall there was a spike in inflation in 1990 - so perhaps it could buy you more nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-H Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I seem to recall there was a spike in inflation in 1990 - so perhaps it could buy you more nowadays. There would have to have been quite a sustained period of negative inflation for that to have been the case, which we have not had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomgeg Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 So things are the same prices as they were in 1990 ? Some are cheaper, you can get 4 pints of milk for 95p and a pair of denims for £6 at the supermarkets, and I'm sure a lot of white goods and home entertainment devices are cheaper. And I'm saving a fortune on haircuts, mind that's probably because I've hardly got any hair so don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
