The price of my groceries at the English shop!
OK, so call me sad but today I went to the English shop to stock up a bit. Thought I would compare the cost here and at Tescos.
I bought the following....
3 tins beans, 2 tins spagetti, one sachet Angel Delight, 2 packs buttons, a flake, pickled onions, pickled beetroot, birds custard, jar of mint sauce and some HP sauce.
The cost at Tesco 8.07
Cost at the English shop
$46.78 !!!!!!!!! :scared: :scared:
Now tell me a good business to open.

Re: The price of my groceries at the English shop!
Prices like these make me glad I have weened myself off most things except for PG Tipps which cost me $6.99 at Cost Plus. I did see that there is a new dark chocolate flake, but at $2.09 I wasn't about to try one. I think at christmas we spent more than $10 on a tiny can of spotted dick and a small packet of custard in the Brit store as a gag gift to one of my brother in laws.

Re: The price of my groceries at the English shop!
OK, I brought some fry's chocolate cream, crunchies, flakes, fruit pastiles, dairy milk (with oraange crisp), extra strong mints and lockets back at xmas.
Was going to ration them to myself over the next few months, but am prepared to sell them to the highest bidder now.
Who'll start me at $50 for the lot ??
No time wasters please
