    5 yorkies for €2 in some €2 shops (and well in date). Also go to tesco, loads of bars are €2 or less for 5 packs, including bounties which are rarely on offer. Supervalu have 5 packs of rolos for €1.67.

    I haven't bought a bar in a newsagent or spar type shop probably since the 80's...

    These spars & newsagents benefit from the same "tradition" of pubs, i.e. not displaying prices openly and people just asking for the drink/bar without knowing the price and sort of being embarrassed to say no when they hear the price, for fear of looking stingy or whatever.

    Its simple: don't buy off them and they won't be able to charge this price. Shop in Dunnes/cheaper destinations.

    I expect you chose the item unaware of the price, because there was no price on display
    if this is the case, report them to the NCA, teach them a lesson :D

    I have a personal practice of if they don't have the prices on display, I go elsewhere
