Thanks, hubby not elite mindset though and would probably want a coffee with breakfast.

Some places charge for water!

Charge? Up here, I am sure it has to be free for tapwater.

If we go for a pub meal I always get tap water, last time they charged 50p.. I’m in north England.

Thank to the lovely poster who mentioned half price sweets in Wilco's pick and mix:T
I got a medium cup for £1.50. I had to keep shaking I down to get the lid on. Perfect for my Easter cakes and taste fine to me. Elaine might think differently...I know she's good at stuff like that;)

Are Wilko sold by weight or by cup please?

Thank you

Some of the fillers are comparing badly at the moment - the smart price type ranges in many stores seem to have gone up a fair bit. 10p noodles are 28p :eek:.

Jack F has Maggi instant beeef or curry noodles for 75p (for 4) at the moment . Also worth reporting £stretcher has 24 packs of Weetabix for £1 a box :cool:.

The cups are a set price but you can also use bags which are weighed. Cups are generally better value depending on how much you can cram in
