Fags & Booze Up
 

11p on fags, 4p on a pint and 15p on a bottle of wine.

No need to panic though, child benefit is going up to offset the cost :D

lol!


Had to go into work this morning and put prices up

Our "regulars" will have even less money for food now:rolleyes:

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

Ooh! Goody, i can't wait till i'm at work at the pub this weekend then when our prices have gone up!!:rolleyes:

Also last year I found a Budget Calculator that once you'd filled in told you if you were going to be better off. I can't seem to find one yet this year, anyone know of one?

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

Its ok i've found one now here:

BBC NEWS | Special Reports | 629 | 629 | Budget calculator 2008

I should be about £276.40 better off next year. That'll do nicely. :)

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

I thought the increases took place at midnight on Sunday.

Does that mean your off-licence has decided to con its customers buy increasing the price today?

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

Looks good to me too Lolly, according to their calculations I'll be just under a grand better off ! :D ( not holding my breath on this one !)

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

No, we also have to have budget sales signs up
These come in with our normal POS
These are then displayed where the price changes are
So the customer understands that the prices changed are due to The Budget

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

So when does the price go up, now or after midnight on Sunday?

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

The prices are due to go up on Sunday

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

Although our tobacco and fags have to go up at 6pm tonight

Re: Fags & Booze Up
 

The 4p and the 11p increases respectively are made when the booze and fags leave the brewery/bonded warehouse after the time specification; in the case of booze you should see the first price rises by the weekend; it may take several weeks for the fags increase to work it's way through the system. Your local corner shop may well take early advantage,however.

Don't forget, though, that the increase is on duty and VAT applies on this duty - so your actual increase will probably be 5p and 13p.
