bells was telephone numbers
even their whisky for cooking was a fortune
how can it be cheaper to go halfway across the globe and buy whisky cheaper than 300 miles from where its made
dont answer but you get my jist:)

Thats a 114% increase

More importantly is the price of essentials sky-rocketing week on week.

At least junk food, like biscuits, we can (and should) live without!

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that Asda is pricey. I hadn't been for a while, but when I went last week I was surprised how things were expensive. They had the blockbuster deals but most of them were junk and anything else was expensive. They also didn't have some of the things I wanted in stock - the extra special rump steak which is on offer was oos so a wasted journey really.

Smidster, i rarely eat biscuits..i only get them because they r the ones my sons will eat. I dont drive s b, but do have a lot of wasted bus fares
