Man uncovers Kwik Save receipt from 1995 and the prices are making people nostalgic

A man who stumbled upon a 1990s supermarket chain receipt couldn't believe how many items you used to be able to get for your money. Chris Eyres, from Prenton, Merseyside, found a receipt from Kwik Save, which had small and medium sized supermarkets on the High Street until it went into administration in 2007, dated 1995 in a box.

Chris said the box belonged to his late mother and also contained photos of streets and clubs from the 1960s, as well as other nostalgic bits and bobs. But it was the Kwik Save receipt, which was printed on October 26, 1995, that caught Chris's attention.

His mother had been in the shop in Stanley Road, Birkenhead, at just before 2pm and the receipt featured 38 items, with his mum paying £24.79 in cash for them. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Chris said he was shocked at the amount of items his mum was able to buy with a relatively small amount of money compared to these days.
