THE small shelf for stock which has been damaged or is going out of date is the only section where prices are as they should be, shoppers have confirmed.
Britons have found the only area where the cost of items reflects their wages is the section where yellow-stickered foods that are about to become a public health hazard have been reduced in price.
Nikki Hollis said: “This bit makes sense. The entire rest of the shop is insane.
“I know about inflation and all that, but a big bag of crisps used to be a pound on offer and now it’s two-fifty. That’s not explainable under any rational economic system.
“Staff are patrolling the staff increasing prices in relays. Offers are going from ‘buy one get two free’ to ‘buy nine, get one free’ to ‘buy one, get f**king one’. A tin of tomatoes was repriced in my hand. Eggs are so expensive they’re sold individually.
“Only at the yellow stickers does the world still function in a way it’s possible to understand. Whether it’s a tub of potato salad that goes off later tonight or cans of root beer with dents in, the prices are reasonable.
“Not cheap though. In fact they’re a bit on the high side.”
