taxing problems at the 3 dollar shop
the $3 Japan shop is struggling with the planned GST increases (GST = VAT for those in the UK).
I do understand the situation and you will remain my favourite shop. mainly for your lovely (and numerous) signs
two pounds ninety nine pence
jane and esther were waiting patiently in an award winning fish and chip shop which obviously didn't win any awards for speed of service. kezia and i were restless so we walked across the street to look at this gift shop.
nothing much passes kezia's attention and she spotted that lots of the prices were two pounds ninety nine pence (apologies for not using the pound sign, it seems not to work properly on the blog)
2.99 was not a special price at all !
when things were a different price, they were often reduced from 2.99 (note the rare rogue 3.99 and 4.99 behind)
i thought it was brilliant. and hopefully you do too !
further reductions due to public demand
further reductions due to public demand. blummin public. always wanting stuff cheaper. perhaps it's no surprise this shop eventually shut down if it was just listening to its customers asking for stuff more cheaper without any regard for its own costs.
