Kwik Save staff remember the good old days including memorising all the prices

A lost budget store with a "no frills" range is still missed on Merseyside.

The Liverpool ECHO recently reported how an old Kwik Save receipt from 1995 had been discovered by Chris Eyres, from Prenton, in his late mother's belongings. The receipt was printed on October 26, 1995 just before 2pm at a branch on Stanley Road in Birkenhead and showed 38 items for the price of £24.79.

Items on the list include toothpaste for 78p, Heinz Baked Beans for 23p, Flora 48p, Pot Noodle for 67p and penguin Biscuits for 66p. The most expensive item on the list was Ovaltine for £2.25, but you can also see the likes of Oxo Cubes costing 64p and Pearl Drops for 69p.
