"48p for a Mars bar?"

OK, not the most intellectual of topics, but I swear they used to be 25p when I was at school. And that wasn't even that long ago - 5 years, to be precise.

This country.

I remember once in school being next to the fat kid in the lunch line. He had something like chips, beans, spaghetti hoops and some other stuff on his plate, a can of pop, and two or three chocolate bars, plus possibly a cake. Then one of the Geography teachers came along and said "Having a snack, John?"

They have 24hr co-op shops that do that now.

this is the Co-op

Go to another shop.

Corner shops usually mark things up because people buy out of convenience rather than price sometimes.

shops and overpricing its crazy, like a bottle of Coke, 500ml (i think, you know the normal sized bottles not the big ones) it says 77p on the bottle and a shop by me is charging like £1+ for it, crazy.

Dont get me started on Creme Eggs!!!! How tiny are they??????????? They get smaller and more expensive every easter!!! They crack into 5 different bits within the first 2 bits!!! There's less creme and it's just ......... GRRRRRRRR!!!!! Cadbury's dont get 2 big for your boots!!!!!! Make better creme eggs!!!

Agreed.

and a Curly Wurly is just a stretched out and overpriced Chomp Bar. Death to it!

Are those long, thin plastic tubes with flavoured ice in still 5p? They were awesome.

Chomp bars are good.
I'm gonna have to get me some tommorow.

Yep.
