Around where I live and where I work (my department), there are 3 places where you can buy food items.

The first is Sainsbury's a rather poche (sp) place in central city, where shit is genreally a bit marked up.

The second is Aldi, which is properly shit so I never go there.

The third is the Cooperative, which showed up in a previous blog entry of mine - a small'ish place that is half convenience store and half market.

How is it that out of all these options, the fucking vending machine in my department offers the cheapest price for a snickers bar?

vending machine - 32p
sainsbury's - 36p
coop - 42p
aldi - who the fuck knows.

It's a mystery. I've never ran across this situation before in my life.

That's really odd. Maybe the prices on your vending machine haven't been marked up lately? It's always nice to find machines that still sell snickers or a 12 oz. of soda for 50 cents.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

cuz....they think that lots of people will go to sainsbury's and coop and stuff so when they pass by the vending machine they'll go like oh wow that's convenient let me get a snickers bar!

no wait that doesnt make sense because your department should be like an obscure place so giving this service should be rippofffffff

In my university its 80 cents for a can of sprite and 1euro for a bottle. It's pretty cheap, but aint nowhere close to beating Aldi

its' very possible that this sainsbury's is ripping us off b/c it's really smack in the middle of the univserity town area.

It's definitely true that university stores have jacked-up prices, forgot about that possibility.

Yeah Aldi and Lidl are very cheap and they have stuff that other store's don't but their stores are just like a large room with stuff piled up in it lol. And no they don't have have shopping carts.
