i remember 11p taytos … and everytime it went up a penny it was talked about at school … also remember that Magnums were the first ice creams to be near £1 .. we were all shocked at how expensive they were !!
I definitely remember being able to buy a lot of sweets for 20p (and i’m only 20 now so we’re not talking ye olde times). Summers were spent getting 20p’s and running to the shop to get as much as we could. Seemed like a fortune then 🙂
There are only a few prices i can remember exactly. It was 30p for a Virgin Cola (foul stuff) and 50p for Coca Cola. Im certain crisps were less than 20p, but that could be the dodgier kinds (eg burger bites) rather than proper taytos. Jellies were a penny each and judging from the cinema pick n’ mix they now cost more per gram than saffron. Honestly, a cocaine habit would be easier to sustain than a pick n’ mix one.

Ah, I remember a time when chocolate bars would cost no more than 30p (now about 38 cents, I think)

I recall 10p Taytos. And there used to be a delicious Spring Onion flavour as well.
