When the food and drink prices at this year's Manchester Christmas Markets were unveiled last week, it's fair to say a few eyes popped out on stalks. Inflation has caught up with the annual sausage and gluhwein fest and it has meant for some hefty old price increases at this year's event.
MEN readers appeared roundly unimpressed by the news. One said: "7 quid for a sausage do they think we’ve all won the lottery or something," while another huffed: "Nobody in their right mind would pay them prices, it’s not xmas with good cheer it’s just a total rip off."
But, let's be honest, everything has gone up in price this year. I mean who would have thought this time last year we'd be in the supermarket paying £7.50 for a tub of Lurpak and £8.25 for a box of tea bags?
