Compared to the actual cost of the drug being dispensed, the prescription charge is likely to be, in most cases, a small fraction of this.
I look at the prescription charge as a contribution towards the cost of the drug. In other words, I am paying a little for something that costs a lot more.
On the other hand, paying over a pound for Jacobs cream crackers.....that just makes me fume.
cream crackers are a staple no person should be without. It makes my angry that they hike the costs up. Its the same with some biscuits. why they dont hike up costs on fruit and veg, stuff that we can do without
Tempting as that is Dave, I'd need a heck of a lot of biscuits to leave a trail from Wales to Merseyside. If they're anywhere near as expensive as Jacobs cream crackers then it's a no go. Unless Aldi do a cheaper equivalent?

on a similar topic...how expensive are cigarettes?
I doubt there are many smokers on here, i personally quit 8 years ago now, when i quit, 20 cigs cost me £3.09 i know this because i have the last packet still, with 1 left in it, price is on the box. the same brand now is £7.79 for 20...how does anyone afford it?

That's completely crackers!
You buy bread ? Strange
You buy crackers that taste like McCoys ? cheese & onion or barbque beef ?
Asda Smartprice noodles used to be 8p. They're now 11p. Bloomin' inflation!
Mine cost 150000 and it's smaller! What a con.
Don't get ill then...... Must be eating so many cream crackers
You could always buy Asda Smartprice crackers. Nobody is forcing you to buy Jacob's crackers Karen.
Or move to Wales. They're free here
But can you get cream crackers in Wales ?
And what about the cost of Jacobs crackers? By the sounds of it this could be a dealbreaker for her!
You think that's bad? Bath Olivers are £2.19!
That's because only 12% of prescriptions are paid for, Karen. We're paying for all those people who get them for free.
Yes that really drives me nuts - why not lower the charge but make more people pay - even if it's at a reduced rate?

Pudge - Most of our shops sell primarily daffodils and leeks - but you can generally find Jacob's Cream Crackers with a bit of effort.
I might want a dragon, but I'm not prepared to spend a fortune on getting one.
How many meals would I get out of a dragon? I'm not prepared to spend more than £1 on a meal at the moment, so is it cost effective?
This made me laugh

A £ for a meal? Do you only eat one meal a day?
