I'm partial to those RockStar energy drinks - sort of Red Bull meets
fruit juice. Widely available in every corner shop for 99p. In fact,
the can has 99p printed all around the top.

Couple of weeks ago, saw them in Tesco, without the 99p printing, at
£1:39! That's 40% over the going rate!

What a surprise, today in Tesco they are on offer at £1, "save 39p".

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.....

Many of the main supermarkets seem to be offering branded coffee at a
special price of £4 (200mg) which the pound shops and down market
freezer food stores have been selling for between £2.25 and £2.50 for
the past year (and are still doing so).

It appears to be the going rate for the cans without the 99p price
printed on them. This is just one example I quickly found:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rockstar-Reg.../dp/B0048F7HCM

Asda also list them at £1.

A fair price for sugary junk. Nobody is making you buy it.

The can shown on the Amazon page has "double size" on the side (and is
500 ml). Are those with 99P printed on them only 250ml?

Bloody hell, that IS expensive! :-)

my current local (aldi look-alike) shop is selling Nescafe Gold Blend at
Euro 6.99, and that's this week's special offer

I buy Tesco/Sainsbury's own brand freeze dried for 2.95 and bring it with me
each time I fly here (I actually do that in spite of the price because I
don't like the taste of the local blends)

It would seem not, from this page, which sells 500ml cans
'marked 99p' at £11.88 for 12 and has yet another price for
some 500ml cans at £12.99 for 12:

http://www.americansweets.co.uk/rock...inks-252-c.asp

I suspect the double size is a comparison to other brands,
although I don't drink them myself, so cannot say for certain.

how can you forge something that does not exist

It was on this newsgroup that I met legend and warrior Peter Turtill,
slayer of trolls and champion of the disabled... I salute you sir.

It was here on this newsgroup that I met a beast of a troll called
Anthony Bournes, a racist, gay-bashing, naturist with a fondness to
have sex with handicapped children. A man who spends most of his life
posting to a couple of dead newsgroups on the internet, talking to
himself via his many sock puppets and having fantasies about having sex
with me, Peter Turtill or with disabled children. A nasty unhappy
creature is Anthony Bournes, a low creature that infests Andover and
the real life equivalent of Golum in Lord of Rings, except more
pathetic. His "precious" is not his wife or daughter, who I am told
hate him, but something small that he yanks out and rubs the moment
someone mentions me, Turtill or disabled children.

Anthony Bournes has given probation officers, the police and CPS a real
headache in his obsession, and it is surprising someone has not
sectioned him yet under the mental health act. Perhaps one day this
mental case will be locked up for his own safety with his stunted
"precious" to keep him company.

I have asked is it worth going after this pathetic creature called
Anthony Bournes through the courts. He is old, mentally disabled and
nothing more than worthless trash, not worth wasting any more of my
life on. So I will not waste any more time on this piece of rubbish,
however I will post on h2009.com a full article on this troll called
Anthony Bournes, so that Peter Turtill can post a link to it to warn
other people about this Bournes vermin.

To Peter Turtill. It has been an honour knowing you. Likewise, Bournes
has tried to paint a negative picture of you, but your strength and
honour shines forth like a blazing sun and chases away any of the
shadows that the troll has tried to paint you as. Again, a small
dedication to you Peter sir shall be made on h2009.com to mark a true
disabled champion. I know that you will go from strength to strength.
You owned Anthony Bournes and Derek Hornby, and as your enemies rot and
die in their own decay you will go from strength to strength, in a
long, happy and successful life.

To the Haverhill Town Council. You got owned by the disabled today in
court. Gordon Mussett, you are an arrogant fool, forcing terminally ill
disabled elderly ladies to go to court after your council discriminates
against them, and in which you played a significant part in, you are
inhuman and without any honour sir. That disabled lady owned you, and
perhaps if you ever suffer terminal cancer you will remember that brave
disabled lady, because she does not deserve the sort of treatment you
gave to her, she does not deserve to be dying of cancer. If there is
any justice in the world I hope that the disabled lady beats the
cancer, and instead you experience disability and this cancer, and
suffer discrimination to see how you like it.

I started posting here in this newsgroup highlighting the
discrimination of disabled people by Haverhill Town Council. I now with
the disabled victory in the courts against Haverhill Town Council today
now end my time in this newsgroup.

I believe Uenet to be all but dead, mostly now infested with
the many accounts of the troll Anthony Bournes.

You always get what you pay for, sometimes its the price of the product,
sometimes its the price of the brand.

Women want expensive perfume because its expensive not because it smells
nice.

I quite enjoy hunting out the cheapest. Having to search for the most
expensive would be depressing.
You have to admire Ikea, who have somehow removed the stigma of buying
cheap. Everyone, rich or poor, shuffles round there at some time in
their lives.

If you want spares for your VW you can buy exactly the same part in the
Skoda dealership for half the price

For many decades it has been common place to sell the same items with
different branding. Some people are still prepared to pay a lot more for
certain brands even though the price may be a lot lower with a different
badge.

That'll be the Sainsburys shoppers

The main reason Lidl and Aldi top my list of fave shops is that they
don't play games with you. Sainsburys are constantly trying to befuddle
you with offers

Agreed. I saw a "great" offer in Sainsburys recently. 1 pack of (3)
red onions is normally 90p. The next week there was an offer buy two
packs for £2! [1]

I only shop there because it is the closest supermarket.

[1] I buy loose onions -- much cheaper.

Are you sure? ;-)

Most of the time buying loose is cheaper but in Morrisons yesterday sprouts
were £2.49 a kg loose or £1 for 500gm prepacked.
