Price of chocolate.

[loulou]

Today I bought a Caramac 40p, Maltesers 36p, Minstrels 42p, Turkish Delight 50p (almost passed out at that one),Toffee Poppets 36p, Mars big one 42p, Milky way 2 bar 31p,Toffee crisp 36p. I think the prices don't match the quantity or quality.

Tis life, and inflation, and now people are making them give people who grow the coffee beans a 'good' deal it means the price goes up.

[kevvosa]

I think though that with the more popular bars, ie Mars and Kitkat the
price often goes down because they make such profits they can afford
to.



I think Munchies cost around 50p! 50p!!!  

[loulou]

5 caramel Rocky's were 99p at the co-op.

I think Munchies cost around 50p! 50p!!!  

They also need to protect their market share.

I like Munchies. I get them in a big bag when i go to the cinema.

Munchies have always been ridiculously overpriced but they are nice.  Loulou just out of interest, how long will that lot last you?

[loulou]

I did not buy it all for me. I bought 4 of everything and took them to my dads old nursing home for the old people who get no visitors. No better way to die than with a bar of chocolate in your hand.

[loulou]

I hope that didn't sound like i was trying to kill them off and i was wrong to say old people because some of them are only in their twenties.

[goldencup]

That's a relief - I thought you were really going for it with that lot just for you!

[loulou]

No but i did eat 2 packets of toffee poppets on the way.

[oldspice]

That's a really kind gesture Lou. Bless you.

Turkish Delight has always been really expensive for some reason. I find prices vary wherever you go, but they do seem high these days. At the risk of sounding like an old crusty, a bar of Dairy Milk was 20p when I was little!

I know what  you mean lou, I think prices of chocolate is very high. It annoys me when it is higher in convenience places, e.g the trainstation. Little corner shops can be very dear. I find the best places are supermarkets and Superdrug and especailly Woolworths as they have the 4 for £1 offer and they have a lot of specials. At the moment they are doing the big bags of munchies, fruit pastiles etc as 2 for £1.50.

I find the best places for cheap chocolate are markets. Ok the stuff
they have varies from week to week, but it's still in date and you can
often get 5 small bars for a pound, or 2 large bars for a pound. Plus
they often have rare gems and chocolates from Europe.

They were doing boxes of Duc'Do chocolates for £1 a few weeks ago.
