I used to smoke but that is a long time ago and smokes were about $3.00 a packet, I sure am glad i gave it up so long ago.
Anyway I went to Wollies today the place I usually buy my fruit and whatever I need and was behind a customer a fellow of about 60 I guess and he bought 20.00 worth of items and then asked for a carton of smokes, not sure what brand.
Well I didn't take much notice until the woman rang them up and I kid you not that carton of 4 packs of 40 cigarettes each cost him $371.94
Well I nearly fell over and when he had left I asked the woman, "is that the right price" "yep she said it is outrages what they cost these days"
So that makes it about $94.00 a packet of 40 fags.
I am not against anyone that smokes, I used too as well, but I sure in hell couldn't keep up that habit at that cost
