Price Changes

[The Goon]

I have just brought a bottle of Lucazade for 65p!! bonus!

which got me thinking. how things have drastically changed in price.

EG a can of Coke used to be no more than 50p (only a few years ago) and is now nearly a pound!!

Any others?

Where is a can of coke nearly a pound?

In supermarkets it seems that Coke and/or Pepsi are nearly always on special offer such that 12 cans (2 * 6 packs) or 15 cans can be had for about £4.

for 60p the vending machine at my work will dish out a standard issue Mars Bar or Snickers. Most other chocolate bars are 70p

I'm not sure if Munchies still exist, but when I did last see them I was amazed at how short the packet was. When I was younger the packet was a monstrous length. The packet was the kinda size that Jesus could have used just one to feed the 5000. And more besides.

Munchies are my favourite chocolatey treat. I bet they are close to £1 in most shops now

I have however, always known them to be of this size -

Corrrrrrrr -

Cinema and football were comparable in price when I was a lad. Not now.

Yeah I too was being ripped off by the local sweetshop

I then saw a 6 pack for £1.20 in Asda and have never looked back!

I remember when a can of coke went from 27p to 28p... good times.

I wouldnt mind chocolate and crisps being expensive if it was offset with the healthier options being really cheap, but EVERYTHING is just expensive. It's £2.30 for two slices of bread with grated cheese in the middle
