He couldn't believe how many items you used to be able to get for your money
A man who stumbled upon a 1990s supermarket chain receipt couldn't believe how many items you used to be able to get for your money. Chris Eyres, from Prenton, Merseyside, found a receipt from Kwik Save, which had small and medium sized supermarkets on the High Street until it went into administration in 2007, dated 1995 in a box.
Items on the receipt included Heinz Baked Beans for 23p, Mellow Birds coffee for £1.45, semi-skimmed milk for 26p, 1kg of sugar for 59p and toothpaste for 78p. The priciest item Chris's mum bought on that shopping trip was Ovaltine for £2.25. "I'd run to the car boot to see what was in all the bags. Really friendly people worked there and everyone was polite. Need a payday loan these days to buy 30 odd items."
One person said: "That takes me back mate. When we used to put the shopping in a tartan colour trolley with four wheels lol. From Woodchurch road Kwiky." One commented: "This reminds me of my mums list! Ovaltine and Mellow Birds. Haven’t touched either since the 90’s… Proper nostalgia trip!" Kwik Save, with its familiar logo of white block italics against a red background, grew to become a common site in Britain after the first store opened in Rhyl in 1959. The supermarket was also famous for its 'No Frills' line of own brand, cheaper generic products, an idea that was later taken up by all the major supermarket chains, which became a significant factor in its downfall, the ECHO previously reported.
