the cost of croissants!
Have Tescos confused the rise in petrol prices to the cost of a croissant? Am I wrong or has the cost of a plain croissant suddenly gone from 29p to 35p, and the chocolate ones from 49p to 55p? Percentage wise thats quite significant and not inline with RPI. This morning I was made quite grumpy when about to pick up a plain one a rather rude chap barged in, swiped the tonges and stuffed a bag full of a mixed croissants. Given the opportunity to wait I noticed the price which made me even more grumpy, and also how small they were aswell. My natural reaction was to moan, an art in which I am experienced, I heaved a big sigh as it is a pointless art, slammed the plastic bag down, huffed and stomped off. I saw the rude chap at the checkout, me with a box of crunchy nut cornflakes [infinately better value] and him with his undersized, over-priced flakey pastries, he eyed me suspiciously, I glared, another happy event in the supermarket I thought, do not mess with me in the morning!

Spider, I'm really enjoying reading your blog! Who are you?? I have a feeling we have met.....???
I want to agree with your awareness of the rise is some culinary essentials such as crosissants only my recent bug bare is BUTTER. Is the increase in the price of a crosissants due to the large quanties of butter used to make them? I don't know, but I'm looking forward to hearing about your Friday shopping experience...!
