I was searching for a packet of macadamia nuts for a crimbo treat. None of the major stores seemed to do them so in desperation I looked in Holland and Barratt. They had them is stock but… You’d better be sitting down… 200g cost £7.69. SEVEN POUNDS SIXTY NINE!

I’m not searching for a packet of macadamia nuts for a crimbo treat now. Not at that price.

£7.69… I blame those women cornering the supply for their hair oils and cosmetics…

Ah but you get another for 1p 🙂

How is that place still in business?

Waitrose has 100g for £2.20

That’s nuts!

At those kind of prices, they’re taking the pistachio!

I didn’t spot them in Waitrose. But then again I was trying not to run over with my trolley the better class of out-of-control brat that they have there…

I normally get my butler to push my trolly around for me.

£7.69?

Thats a lot of Cashew?

macadamia nuts

At those prices they should be called taking the pea nuts.

SEVEN POUNDS SIXTY NINE! That’s just conkers!

Have you seen their staffing costs?

You pay peanuts, etc.

Anaphylactic shocking!

Seems crazy but then, I don’t have kernel knowledge of the nut industry.
I certainly wouldn’t shell out that much.

I always buy mine at £3.99 for 200g.

The only issue is I need to order them Half a Ton at a time to get a decent price 😉

there’s now some poor sod at buywholefoodsonline celebrating a mammoth Macadamia nut order in the offing.

They’re probably getting in extra staff to cope.

I’ve just sent a well timed Job Application in for temp Christmas warehouse work 😉
