Boots Pricing question

Altoid

Hi,

I was in Boots in Blanch yesterday and noticed several Christmas stoking fillers. The ususal stuff - pocket radios, nail trimming sets, pens, that sort of thing.

I noticed that one of them was £5 sterling and Euro7.10. Fair enough. But beside it was another thing at £5 sterling and Euto8.10. I think one of the £5 sterling things was even Euro9.

How can this be right?

On a similar rant, I remember one jumper in Dunnes for £8 sterling and they wanted 20Euro for it.

I remember asking this question before in some other shop (River Island I think) and I offered to pay for it in Sterling as I knew it was going to be cheaper and the reply I got was "Ehh no sorry sir, thats the UK price only and the difference is due to shipping and Vat etc"

Talk about getting shafted :eek:

Was one of them an electrical item??? That could account for it as the recycling fund would be added!!
