nonnaB 4,900 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Today I went to do a bit of shopping. Do any of you brits begrudge paying the high price of something that youve bought at a more realistic price? My daughter and I bought some ready made sushi for our tea tonight. Ok we paid the correct price. I love making sushi. When I was in scotland last week I stocked up on a couple of things. Now comes the crunch. Nori in UK is. £1.30 in Italy equivalent to £3.62. A kit for making sushi in UK £3.50. In Italy equivalent to £12.49. I was shell shocked. Cant believe such a big difference. I stocked up on Nori seaweed and sushi rice. So glad I did. I now have enough to last me a couple of months.....maybe! I know that if something is popular the price is also reasonable but sushi is more popular here than in UK.

catfan 14,793 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Then don't pay it nonnaB, vote with your purse ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I have got over being fleeced here in Ireland, a lot of the things I have simply stopped buying..like Record Collector magazine, here a whopping €9.66 Ravioli 2:20 a tin,get a jag cheaper than Strepsils! But I accept it as I prefer to live in peace out here..though a lighthouse would appeal also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,900 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I too have learnt to live without a lot of things I cant get here. I bring them back if possible when I go to UK. But I refuse to pay the extortionate price they ask here. Ian you DON'T buy tinned ravioli surely. You can make a kilo for that price.! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 My son does make it nonna,but I like the Buitoni! Wages on the whole here are high,I suppose that drives up prices..a bit upsetting that Magners cider is produced in our County and is 3 quid cheaper in Nottm! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
