If everything is a pound in a pound shop, why on earth would they need any other change apart from £1 to hand out?Comment

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostLOL, I buy that coffee all the time, it's Maxwell House Classic Roast and is okay IMO. £1 for 95g, can't complain. I also regularly buy 3 cans of coke (£1) and a box of After Eights (£1).
