As Peter Kay would say

what's that all about.

Did our shopping at a Hyper U yesterday. Treated ourselves to 2 delicious looking vanilla custardy type sponge cakes. You know the type of thing Asda do them for about 99p.

When we got back to the caravan I was just looking at the till receipt, not really checking things but just interested in the prices of the items we had bought. One item was listed as a bag @ 49 cents which confused me a bit.  Checking further this was listed with the cakes we had bought. So it appears we were charged 49 cents extra for a plastic box that was already containing the cakes. I certainly don't think it would have been advisable for us to take them out of the box.

So why did the ticket price on the item not include the packaging?
