Because they should be paying people to eat chocolate with raisins in it
It’s the VAT in this country
Only suckers will fall for this , f grade photoshop effort …..look at the shelf price label below the £0.65 price marked yorkie its £0.69 sterling 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
We need to be more like the French in this regard.
The government will bring in a “price on packaging tax”. If the price is displayed, it’s doubled.
Even 65p is too much for thatvpiss poor excuse for chocolate.
I admit the Yorkie is a shite bar but most bars in UK are around 60/70p and there’s also prices on lots of packaging like cereal and tins. Wondering why we don’t have the same here as it would prevent prices creeping up.
It mad here, in aldi 500g of chicken with marinade is €3:19, 400g without is €3:29.
Are you comparing a Yorkie to Cadbury? Irish Cadbury?
Lad. We’re being shagged too. That pricing says “rrp” and quite often the price is above rrp because of iNflATiOn.
Pound is worth less than the euro as well, I think.
Cadburys bars in Tesco.ie are generally €1.40 vs £0.75 for the same in Tesco.co.uk
Exact same product, but for 38% less if you buy from the Enniskillen branch in NI instead of the Sligo branch in Ireland. The difference isn’t as bad in Tesco as in this shop, but it shows that it’s widespread.
Same is true for likes of Kit Kats and Yorkies.
They’re still charging more than that though, the price on the shelf says £0.69.
Could it be the price of property, insurance, wages is higher in the south? Maybe wholesale prices are different too. It would be interesting to hear from someone in retail.
