A 34-year-old yellowed receipt from Tesco has sparked conversation online about inflation and the cost of goods. revealed the previously hidden piece of paper – and several forum users have commented on the prices. Some of which undoubtedly weren't even alive at its time of printing! The receipt shows more than a dozen items for less than a pound - something that is as rarity nowadays.
What's more, many of those came in at under 50p. Bargain buys from that day back in 1991 include six eggs for 72p and eight croissants for 99p, while a 'large loaf' of bread was only 49p. The luxury food item of the day was a 'fresh chicken', where the buyer splashed out the princely sum of £4.
92. This is a similar price to a chicken today. It was one of the only three items on the list that came in over £2 – the others being 'refuse sacks' for £2.
19 and 'toys' for £24.99. The revelation has some of the thread's observers checking their own weekly shopping list as the 32 item receipt came in for a total of £56.
30. The ink held up well over the last three decades and despite maybe having to squint in places, the prices are readable. The turtles are believed to be some sort of sticker rather than the actual animal with the hard shell.
If the toys had waited, the weekly shop would have been completed for only £31.31. While jokes about missing out on Clubcard points and calling the increase on the price of eggs, egg-flation, there was a lot of serious discussion as well.
