Sorry this is quite random, but quite a funny story.
I work in a posh Cheshire village which is WAG city...so a few weeks ago I had an appointment in that village and my family all drove into the village and walked around while I saw my acupuncturist. It was raining, so the family all go into Starbucks to sit down and have a coffee...my husband, son, and my Mom and Dad who were visiting. So anyway my mother strikes up a conversation with a lady who said she is visiting her son who lives here, she is from Ohio. She tells my mother that every year at Christmas she makes her famous recipe, a Creme de Menthe pie with an Oreo Crust...anyway, they then laugh about how much Oreo's cost in Selfridges, she says last year she spent £20 on oreo's for the party. They chat for a while blah blah blah, in walks her son and its a VERY FAMOUS AMERICAN FOOTBALLER who lives in the area. Needless to say, my husband is thrilled, introductions are made, hands are shaken etc etc. It was really lovely and my parents just were tickled pink.
So yes, even millionaires don't like paying too much for Oreos...she brought over a suitcase full of them!
At least my mother didn't feel she was crazy for bringing me over a suitcase full of Nestles Chocolate Chips, Goldfish Crackers, Gerbers Puffs, Pretzels, and Bakers Coconut!!!
