Sticker Shock
A new gourmet specialty foods store recently opened in the local mall. In addition to selling artisanal cheeses, meats, jams, and chocolates, they were also selling Oreos (chocolate flavoured sandwich biscuits) -- only Oreos, no other Nabisco or similar products. Furthermore, they were selling a regular 14 oz pack of Oreos for £5.25 (~$10.50). Double Stuf were £5.75 (~11.50). It's not as if the British revere Oreos as a delicacy, but they have been in short supply lately. I never expected to see a store scalping Oreos though.
