Spar means to ‘save’ in German – with this you are nicht Sparen. That for uns ist hilarious. Hilarious like a delayed bus due to a unscheduled malfunction.

The name was originally DE SPAR, an acronym of the Dutch phrase Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig[note 1] (English: through united co-operation everyone regularly profits)

Welcome to the big smoke Graeme, we have convenience stores here. For the uninitiated that means they charge a premium for convenience. Also, you may see chewing gum stuck to the streets, this is not free candy!

Well I’ve never paid for the free candy on the pavement.

I think that sneaky Croc has something to do with this outrage.
The latter shop is named aptly for anyone who buys cereal there.

Who eats that poo for breakfast?! Or lets their children eat it?
No wonder Ireland has an obesity problem.

Is this some kind of meta joke about the stupidity of BS’s continuing coverage of
“These are expensive but the one’s over there are far away”
?
So… Just to summaries
Yes.
Different shops have different prices.

If you shop in a big chain type store you’re typically going to get things at a better price than what you will in most corner shops….
AND EVEN BETTER
If you look for what are called “OFFERS” (that’s what that’s called when they write “WOW!” above a price, that’s usually called an offer), you’ll probably find that price is lower (yes, lower) than the price you’ll see in most other supermarkets. The concept is called invoice pricing (as loss leading is banned in Ireland).
But… you can’t freeze Coco Pops?

Coming on here, feigning splutters just so you can brag that you shop in Spar.

I just can’t imagine anyone over the age of 7 eating these. It’s also a known gateway to heroin in D1.
Under 7s tend to rely on over 7s to buy them.
