    How is this possible
    Today in Dundalk I paid 1.54 euros for a 330ml can of lucozade. Yesterday in Newry I paid 35p Stg for the same 330ml can of lucozade :confused::confused::confused::mad::mad::mad:

    I think it is possible because you actually paid €1.54 after paying 35p yesterday. What I'm saying is you had a choice not to buy the Can of Lucozade yet you must have felt it was still value for money as you handed over €1.54. The only way we will see prices drop is if you actually do not buy over priced products then Mr Lucozade will see he needs to drop his prices as no one is buying them.

    Because people like you pay it.

    35p was particularly cheap, was this on offer? in a supermarket?

    Where was the €1.54 can? a newsagent. If so like so many of these "ripoffs" you are not comparing like with like.

    I saw a bought a can of coke for 50cent in centra, I saw cans for £2 in an airport in the UK, big deal, I fully understand how it is "possible".

    The shop in Newry was a small newsagent in Monaghan steet. The shop in Dundalk was a large Maze super market / filling station on the Dublin Road .

    £1.59 (€1.96) for bottle lucozade sport in newsagents in Harrogate on Wednesday. €1.00 for same bottle in Centra Athy today.

    swings and roundabout, swings and roundabouts.

    In fact I found Harrogate to be bloody expensive for most things.
