Bar BS3 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Expensive, yes. But I have the perfect solution to finding something for sale that I don’t want to purchase...! For just £15 I will share my secrets for not wasting money unnecessarily. PM me for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 £3 in Asda. £9 mark up! Cheeky gits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 £3 (three quid at Tesco / Asda and leading supermarkets) 360g Milk Tray. £12 (twelve quid at BCFC ) 360g Milk Tray - with a RED SLEEVE … bargain! (tip kids, get mum some chocolates from a shop, and make your own paper sleeve to go round the box with a personalised message to mum. Save £9 for some flowers for mum and a bar of chocolate for yourselves! & Have a Great Mothers Day ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 It’ll backfire I reckon. The club are trying to make most of the City packaging by seriously overcharging......... Poor marketing ploy I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Oh while we're at it.... ' Happy Easter From The Team ' …. eggs available from The Gate NOW!!

RUSSEL85 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Complete rip off but the purchase is optional. When the sales figures are awful I don't think they will try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, or my usual approach to this sort of commercialism is to say love your Mum and show her you care ( if you are lucky enough to have one) every day of the year. I’m not overly concerned this sort of stuff is in the shop as we can just refuse to buy it and it can be left on the shelves. I am concerned though that someone thought it was the sort of thing people would want and would pay for and that it was a good idea. How out of touch are they, that’s what worries me.

Big C Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Whilst not condoning the price I think its slightly unfair to compare with Asda and Tesco, a vast majority of shops would not be able to match their prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have bigger budgets than us and we can’t really hope to compete on a regular basis. We just need to make sure that our chocolate is better than their chocolate on Mother’s day when anything can happen. We need to get as many in the box as possible to make it difficult for them. We hope to have a celebration and no unpleasantness which mars the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
