When did a 10p CHOMP rise to 25p

Dinner or breakfast?

Well it was gonna be dinner but it'ds a bit small

Might need to go get a FREDO or TAZ bar but how much am i looking at for them

Space Raiders 20p

Next i'll be getting told Rola Cola is 50p a bottle

a real shocka is the new Turkish delight - I'm not gonna buy that again - i lifted one in Salisbury and it's been miniaturized. They got rid of the ridges a few years ago. now it's a shadow of what it was. It's not as if they'd lose money at the old size? because one of their competitors is selling three in a pack for the same price.

i also lifted a multi pack of twirls? it had a big gap in the pouch it comes in? everything is a con now. the cereal in the box is half empty? the crisps are in big bags too. treating the customer as an idiot is not a good idea. He'll just walk away from you.

TANGY TOMS 20p as well.

Choc Dips were 26p when I was a kid,  have been sighted at over £1 now

I bought a Chicken dinner for 4 from Tesco the other day. Had a massive pouch of sauce hidden under the food label  (2/3rd of the packing/tray was see through showing chicken/veg)

It's all a con alright

Tangy fecking Toms 20pence

Used to get 5p bags and then 6p but smaller than the 10p ones

Squares crisps and such are now about 65-80p  bag now used to get them for 30p under 10 year back

Multi pack ones are just air bags with about 7 crisps

How many did it feed

How much is a Penny Arrow nowadays?

Probably 2p

We are getting butchered

Ringos are quality b the way also cheese and onion ones

Nothing comes near in todays market

Johnnys onion rings where good at 10p as small but are now just another big onion ring that is all fluffy

Its a war out there!

Agree with Jack H, it's a f00kin jungle

The antiques roadshow once featured a schoolbook from the 50's which had a false back
inside of which there was a Mars Bar and a Frys Turkish Delight both of which were
about 3 times the size of todays bars.

saw a good pic on facebook with tin s of quality street at xmas time in ascending sizes starting from 25 years ago,unbelievable  jeff, unbelievable jeff, even at £4 a tin your getting ripped

millions of cheaper shops now selling chocy bars,crisps,snacks,multi packs, 2 for a squid etc,an yone buying single items in supermarkets have to much money,loads of places selling choco bars 4,5, for a squid etc

Highly embarrassing thread. Are you lot paupers? It's called inflation and if you can't afford it: tough.

if its inflation why can those other than the big supermarkets sell them far cheaper

bigger shock to me is the price of cakes etc in the high street bakers,lucky to get 4 small kids cakes for 2 knicker,outrageous mark up must be huge

another one ive recently noticed are the offers on them tins of nescaffe azzera coffee in all the supermarkets £3,you used to have to be careful pulling the tin foil off the top in ase coffee went all over no chance on the last 2 i bought the coffee is nowhere near the top of the tin as it used to be,

Curly Wurlys are unrecognizable from what they used to be in the 70's.

Confectionary manufacturers say they are reducing the size as a nod to health issues/lless sugar.

Then they package them in 3s or 4s for £1.

Eatin' a Mars Bar was a challenge at one time. Could eat two or three of the wimpy modern ones.

True.  They were a lot harder.

Probably due to no-one being able to afford any heating.

At one time you could work rest and play on just one mars bar not anymore.

Could share a Mars with a knife down the middle not anymore iv'e seen grown men fight over which slice is bigger

another trick ! my son brought home a pack of sweets cant remember the name of them, sour tasting chewey sweets ! they used to be in a pack similar to opal fruits got about 10 in the pack when i was nipper, anyway had a look at them and the crafty khoonts had changed the pack and made the  sweets  slightly bigger and put them side by side so you only got 6 of em in a pack !

Does anyone remember JUMBO JIMS?? Wotsits on steroids, used to love them but reckon they weren't around for long.
Also who remembers criss cross things you know they had cheese going down the middle ??

Wotsits on steroid

Jumbo Jims seem Americana

Milk Tray Bar
the Daddy

If you want cheap junk food Pounland is a must. Got 8 pack of Wagon Wheels some might say their size has reduced etc but I demolished the whole pack in one go and I had never felt so full! Vs a Mars Bar for 70p is an obvious no brainer. Great for Multi-pack crisp too.

they stock pickled onion monster munch

@ Hammy. Eating eight Waggon Wheels in one go!

Diabetics anonymous thread..

as compared to 25 yrs ago wagon wheels are now more like morris minor wheels

Remember the milky bar kid story?

To be fair, though, as some sort of benchmark, I am twice the size I was when I ate sweets like these on a regular basis.

And 4 times as old!
