My latest hair highlights … £180! 
I was like “how muchhhh” on the inside but just flipped my card out and handed over the money with a smile… (forced smile)
He did a great job tho so 
I can’t believe tho that your drink is £7.80!!! I hope it was a super large one and that it waste like heaven |

I work in a campus restaurant, our new pricing structure just beggars belief, it's as if those at the top are trying to run the business into the ground  |

I was at LFF ( crumbs it must have been before the first lockdown! Doesn't time fly?) with Rachaelmay. We went to The Adelphi pub down by where the Tetley brewery used to be. I ordered two pints of an American imported pale ale and paid with a £20, I got £1. 20 back.
I said to the woman “ I gave you a twenty not a ten”
She said “ I know, and I have given you the correct change, it is £9.40 a pint!” 
The look on my face must have been a picture. The bar staff still remember me every time I go in and make a joke about it! |

Toblerone and Pringles. The price of both go up and down more than more than a fly in a confession booth and sometime you just have to ask "how much" - the Toblerone can be near a fiver sometimes!!!!! |

A glass of prosecco 6.95.. you can probably get a value bottle of one for that money. But it is also the service I guess.. transport cost.. etc. Just feels wrong knowing I could have got it from the shops. But still..Nice indulgence. Helped me get through my kids behaviour in the restaurant |

One of two things would happen in that moment if were me, excessive bowel movement, or apoplectic apocalyptic rage |

I used to build Airfix model kits when I was a kid. Loads of them, it was my main hobby then. Out of curiosity I occasionally look at them in the shops and what used to be pocket money prices are now seriously expensive. |

Plane tickets over the Xmas holidays!
Talking £400 one way and £350 back to fly to the continent …..
Thank god I’ve got a BA account full of Avios points so I didn’t have to shell out the extortionate amount of money they were asking |

You need to ask for a pocket money rise  |

Well, all of the time that people are prepared to pay such prices they will continue to charge them and get away with it

A posh hot chocolate and a muffin for £7.80?
I don't think that's too bad for Starbucks
I know some of my local independents are hiking their prices too and I'd always choose to support them but until my favourite opens at 6am and has a drive through..... I'm stuck with Starbucks |

But no with the muffin sounds about right. Still expensive tho |

Yesterday I had a scrummy pulled pork and bbq sauce wrap, stuffed so full I had to eat it in private to save the embarrassment of any lettuce getting stuck to my face!! I was shocked at how much it cost because it was only 3 quid!! |

I have allways had a curiosity why women charge for sex. Look at sites such as Adult Work and Viva, Street. Beautiful girls on there charging between 100 and 400 and hour. Really. That is just crazy prices. |

A poppet. The kids wanted it and they had been really good so I said yes without even looking at the price. I thought great, it'll only be around £5.
£15!!! |

My dad would put the lump of coal on the fire before I could play with it. |
