Price of Polo mints?

I did wonder why I was getting palpitations. Normally I wouldn't buy something with such a big Aus tax markup but I just
really fancied some. It's been 18 years since my last Polo, and guess what I'm sure the holes have gotten bigger!

Fry's chocolate creams usually get me - there is a British sweet shop near me

I use to just buy “lifesavers†when we lived in Australia unless family were visiting and they had a shopping list to bring lol but here in England it just depends where you buy them from at home bargains and B&M they are cheaper than the price quotes from Tesco. I was talking with an estate agent last week who just before Covid had visited Australia and he said a “pint†of beer from a pub in Adelaide was $9 is that correct? I buy pods here in the uk for £2 is that cheap?

As for coffee pods - Woolworths prices for packs start at $3.80 for packs of 10.

Be glad you aren't in Brisbane where even my back street local is now charging $12 a pint.

City prices have always been shocking, but the few pubs that exist in the suburbs weren't so bad. My tatty local used to charge $6 for a pint pf Bulmers, then they closed during covid, turned it into a nasty glass & chrome monstrosity, and doubled all the prices

As for Polos, I remember them being two & a half new pence, and 17 in a packet! Probab~ly eaten my body weight in them over the years
