Rip Off?

I bought the smallest slither of cheese yesterday from Whole Foods in Cheltenham but because I bought other things too I only noticed when I got home they had charged me over £3 for it!! Lovely store but how on earth can folks afford to shop there? It was Isle of Mull Cheddar by the way.

£3 certainly seems VERY overpriced for such a teensy weensy bit of mousetrap food.

You'll have to set the table, light the candles and use a napkin when you have that on a cracker.

Wholefoods is not a cheap place for food but it is very good.

They are also very good at clearly marking the price of the produce, so you should have known the £/kg, or at least seen the price on the scales, or asked......

[Mamyalynne]

Isle of Mull Cheddar is around £20-£22 per kilo,a pricey one indeed.

there that told ya !

[Svejk]

blimey!!

[Prudie]

Understandable though, tiny island, not many cows etc etc. So does it taste that exclusive?

[mallyh]

grate it and it will look more lol

[Bazile]

EcclesCake has shares in Wholefoods - didn't you know ?

[Svejk]

may butler sets the traps with it.

[grasscarp]

Of course Mallyh - It will look great

[mallyh]

lol grasscarp (i liked your joke on the fruit and veg post)

That's a fair price for that cheese - proper cheese is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Wholefoods is really expensive. I only shop there in the US when I want a couple of things for my room - bit of milk, yoghurt for breakfast, something for lunch from the deli and that $30 + gone. They play on the whole organic, eco "thing".

Gosh, so many replies, you are right I should have checked the price. Serves me right but I have to say it was lovely, I suppose we all deserve a little treat now and then.
