Was out with my daughter today and we just wanted coffee and a light snack rather than a meal.
We called at a small cafe, nothing posh or hipster and there were no sausage rolls or cheese scones but they had jacket potatoes. I was shocked to see it cost £9.95!!
Now I know they usually come with a small bit of salad and maybe some coleslaw wherever you go but I thought that was well over the top. Our little village shop does a big raw spud for 40p and supermarkets are even less than that.
We went elsewhere and I got a cheese and tomato toasted sandwich for £4.50 and I couldn’t even taste the cheese.
I know they all have high overheads but we all have higher bills at home. I wonder how long these businesses are going to last if they keep putting prices up because I personally know lots of people who say they have stopped eating out because the prices are crazy.
