tinfoilhat Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 So things are the same prices as they were in 1990 ? Things like individual mars bars and cans of pop certainly aren't although I bet multipacks are cheaper. That said, pound shops are full of things that are a pound!

spilldig Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 1 litre of milk (perhaps, if you shop around). 1 loaf of bread? Good grief. 2 Litres of milk at B&M 89p . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 So things are the same prices as they were in 1990 ? You originally said "With prices going up all the time.." that's why I asked what prices. The rest is easy to Google as most have done and you could have.

tzijlstra Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Only £3.50 where i buy mine from. And another admission to illegal behaviour. You like living on the edge don't you, upstanding citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 You originally said "With prices going up all the time.." that's why I asked what prices. The rest is easy to Google as most have done and you could have. Prices rise and fall all the time no one has taken account of rents, taxes, bus fares , property things like that . Remember VAT is now 20% a lot higher than it was in 1990. Can you still buy a house for a 1990 price in 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
