Extortionate prices?

Question

today i was charged £3.80 for one beefeater tomato and £5.64 for two large mushrooms,i complained to the supermarket manager who said the prices were correct,in no uncertain terms i told him what to do with his prices and obtained a refund.

in your opinion are these prices way over board,oh and by the way this happened at the co-op

Answer 1

day light robbery  

Answer 2

I shop in Waitrose and they never charge half that.  I suspect their cash machine got its decimal points mixed up.  Well done for insisting on the refund - outrageous !

Answer 3

Far too expensive.

Answer 4

Man - those prices seem well high!

A beefeater tomato - 50p-60p, two large mushrooms 80p-90p!

The world has gone/is going mad!

Answer 5

They are definatly robbing you, what were they made of? gold!  write to trading standards and demad they look into it. In the mean time shop somewhere else.

Answer 6

Seems to be the way things are going, I almost picked up a small tin of tuna today until I realised it was £1.63!

That was the Coop as well, only shop in the village unfortunately.

Answer 7

Extortionate???  Unbelievable, I think, unless the items were gold plated!  Glad you didn't get rooked.  I would expect a whole salad plus the meat to go with it for those prices.  Change your shopping venue straight away.

Answer 8

Seriously over priced. Where I live in France the same would cost around 50 pence - maximum

Answer 9

No definitely not right, that sounds like you were maybe charged the kilo price for one tomato and they weighed the mushrooms on 1/4 or 200 grams setting,whatever it is, but entered the kilo price - how do I know?......I realised my mistake years ago when someones 1/4 mushrooms ended up coming up, price wise, at a ridiculous amount!.....I knew it was wrong! They weren't prices but mistakes - beef tomatoes generally about 3.60 per kilo
