MackaysCentreSpot Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Son popped along to our local S P A R this morning and was charged ?2.52 for a dozen rolls. I went along and I asked the guy behind the counter if he had made a mistake. ?2.52 for a dozen roll that can't be right. He said it is 21p a roll. The shop was pretty busy and when I said "21p for 1 roll your having a laugh" most people agreed and put their rolls back. 21p for a roll.........I still can't believe thats what they were charging.

Stuart Lyon Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You certainly need a lot of dough to buy rolls nowadays 4 shillings and 2.4 pennies per roll is outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Definately a rip off 15p each at the shop up the road from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better call Saul Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 16p at my old work. Seems a bit steep ! Which area would this be in ? The reason I ask this that alike most food retailers they inflate the price depending on competion within the area OR the area has a high % people with a good standard of living (i.e barnton) , OR THEY MIGHT JUST BE MONEY GRABBING BUGGERS.

I P Knightley Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 What an ironic name for that shop. The idea is, of course, that if you shop there you have to cut your costs elsewhere. QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david mcgee Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Crumbs, lay of the boy behind the counter, hes just trying to earn a crust. Its the owner thats taking the rise, and unlikely he kneads the dough. No need to go to war (burtons) but i think you deserve an apology at yeast.

Cigaro Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You're looking at around ?1 for a dozen at Tesco IIRC. Depending on roll type of course. I like tiger rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The rolls in the spar at Roseburn are amazing...I'd pay anything to not have to eat supermarket rolls. However, I bought 8 rashers of bacon from the butchers along the road for ?3.50. Bit steep likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they were nice but at 21p a roll I would want them to be amazing and already be buttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaby Ewing Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Wheat price is up 110% in the last year. Ha, that's kinda the point my (now deleted) post was making... though given the variance in roll prices just on this thread, I don't think record wheat prices can entirely explain Costcutter and the like being scamming gits.

Your deleted post was spot on! It may be that some shops are trying to use rolls as a loss leader ... buy your cheap rolls and the sausage, bacon, irn bru will follow!
