The going rate for Easy Cook Rice is about £1.25 per kilo. Sugar is typically sold at around 88p per kilo, and even Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (for which you don't need the sugar) are sold at less than £3.00 per kilo. Butter's about £5.00. Meat is a bit more expensive, of course, but even so, chicken breasts are circa £6.00 per kilo and I bought some rump steak yesterday, on offer at just under £7.00 per kilo.
All of the above makes the cost of a small bar of Galaxy chocolate more shocking than ever. The 46g bar was 69p. Unbelievable - one and a half pence per gramme. Not in the league of gold, but way above the general cost of other foodstuffs, as mentioned. It makes the chocolate £15.00 per kilo.
