    surely when they have special prices on the side of bottles like that, the cost the shop owner pays is reduced according to the special price so that he's not going to be losing money when he sells it on?

    I just got a mix up and i noticed the 1p fizzy cola bottles are now 2p :( that's terrible.. 25 bottles instead of 50!

    in cases like this just ask for a receipt and just say ok ill take it to trade and standards, they'll most likely give in, i know its only 30p but i dont like to feel like ive been defeated lol

    When the Mirror was tenp all week a few years ago my corner shop tried to charge the full 30p, saying there had been a printing mistake on the front of the paper:confused:

    At least you all have corner/local shops......you should try living where I do.....any shop would be a luxury.......and I wouldn't mind paying an extra five pence for some fruit gums!!!
