Woman finds Tesco receipt from 1994 and people are surprised at the prices

A shopper was sent down a Tesco time warp when she found a receipt from 1994 in the pocket of a coat bought from a second-hand store. As Britain faces a cost-of-living crisis, it was a fascinating flashback to 28 years ago when John Major was Prime Minister.

The receipt was shared on twitter by Liverpool-based marketing manager Jess Corcoran, who said it was discovered in a trench coat brought from Vinted. The slip of paper was dated February 15, 1994 and had products totalling £5.67 bought from the Bar Hill store in Cambridge, Liverpool Echo reports.

It shows four pints of milk cost 84p, self-raising flour at 72p a bag, table salt costing 38p and Red Mountain (presumably the instant coffee brand) cost 1.59 a jar, but was on a two-for-one deal.
