beans
here’s a thing.
heinz baked beans in a New Zealand supermarket in the UK produce section which includes things like Heinz beans, Yorkie Bars, twiglets, shortbread and IrnBru.
i like to refer to this section of the supermarket as the ‘British Aisles’. i don’t know if anyone has considered the implications if Scottish devolve on how they organise these shelves.
anyway, i walked past these beans today. 75pence on the tin, but $3.79 locally, which is around five pence short of two pounds (i haven’t got a pound sign on my New Zealish keyboard).
and you think you have a bean charging problem!
they also had 20 pence fingers of fudge at the equivalent of fifty pence.
