Soooo after some research I can report back

WHOLE NEW WORLD OF PERCY!!!

Percy pigs 100g =77p 170g =£1.16

Percy pigs & pals (I kid you not!) pricing as before but includes
Percy pig, cow (cola flavored) and sheep (orange & strawberry)

Phizzy tails pricing as before but are curly tails that are sugar coated and fizzy

so off now to throw up! but have to say all thoroughly enjoyable

Dewb (oink)

shocker isn't it?!?! all depends on HOW desperate you get!! there's a Dutch expat shop in Orewa too, and their prices, by comparison are really reasonable, though they obviously also have to ship from N Europe... Bramptins, pah! People MUST shop there though, or presumably they'd go bust?!

Matewx my mother in law is coming in January. Would you like me to put a packet of percy pigs, with or without friends on the ever growing list of things she needs to bring out?

I am sure she wont mind .

Oh food withdrawal, a common problem for expats everywhere. I went into the NZ shop (in London) on Friday and a packet of toffepop biscuits was £4.10. Unfortunately I could not bring myself to pay that, I did however pay £1.05 for onion soup, and I bought three packets!!!
