Hungry and needed to eat.
£1.80 for a pack of Pipers.
Is there anywhere more expensive than Earls Court?

18p per crisp?

Heathrow??

😯 Bloody Nora! I usually reckon on about 50p for a packet to go with a pint.

The reality often is, you pay the going rate where you are,you just got hungry in an expensive place….. . They are nice crisps though.

Jesus! No Gregg’s nearby? You could have had a steak bake and a sausage roll for that!!!

66p for 12 packs… Hardly at the gourmet end of the crisp spectrum, but they more than fill a hole.

It’s the ski resort syndrome. You’re trapped. And hungry. It’s an absolute bloody con at places like that.

Cinemas are the same…….,hey Multiplexes I’m talking to you. It’s especially galling when there is a hyperrmarket nearby!. “Large cup of Coke,£2.15” out of a bloody pump!. 4p a shot for the syrup they use. Grrrrr!

There was a cinema here that used to ban you taking your own stuff in as well – never been back. That’s just going too far

Sneaking your own snacks in is part of the modern cinema experience,they hate it .Don’t mark stuff up so much then…

Just paid 80p for a packet of rather splendid Reggae Reggae crisps out of a snack machine. Worth every penny!

God bless Levi Roots!, I’m in!!

I remember smuggling our own munchies into the old Unit 4 as a kid, but I wasn’t aware that some modern cinemas were still trying to stop you from doing it. Gosh.

Tell then you are a Coleiac,show then a bag/food box of random (unwrapped)choccie bars,whatever and a drink in a plain bottle. Possibly looking perplexed i can see them refusing you entry with your “special dietery food”?

Our record for cinema food-sneaking was two large McChicken sandwich meals.

I was in a local shop the other day and there were bags of crisps for £2.80! Admittedly a large bag of some kind of fancy kettle chips, but it’s still a lot of money for fried potato.

For probably one potato worth of crisps. Then people moan about the price of bike parts…..

But for £2.80 you get a nice bag and a proper warranty, which you wouldn’t with grey import crisps.

😆

Bang OT, I was just milling about in the local daylight robbery store Co-op for some Sunday snacks and spotted a normal packet of Monster Munch for 92p.

92p??! It’s in a BD postcode FFS.

As it happens, I was in my local today after a walk, ordered a pint, then decided I needed some crisps to go with it.
As luck would have it they do Real Crisps Jalapeño flavour. Hurrah! Then I discovered they’re £1 a packet. Bugger.
Still, they’re damn fine crisps, and I was a bit peckish. And they’re cheaper than £1.80 a packet, nearly half-price!
Ha, cheap as chips, then… 😉
