Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL

[davetherave]

We won't be long finding out who among us does the grocery shopping and who just does the grocery eating.

We already know who is male and who is female here.

Ah give over. I've been around the Forum Games since the end of 2019 and I'm still learning.

dave is top of the pops with a maximum score however it's a battle below that with Butty and Wichita duking it out in the frozen section for second place. Barney, BuileBeag and Seph are staring each other down in the pet food section just below that also.

So I'm going to skip the normal razzmatazz as the tables aren't viewable properly to anyone on mobile and go straight to the hard data


Our next five items and their correct prices are....


1kg of White Granulated Sugar - €1.29
An 80 pack of Irish teabags - €2.70
500g of Spaghetti - €1.04
70cl of Whiskey - €25.84
1kg of Grapes - €4.97

The whiskey question in particular threw a lot of you. Actually... every single one of you

I was only 84c out on the whiskey. Thats pretty decent.

[davetherave]

There was a bit of thought put in to this. I thought right, how much would I expect to pay for Aldi/Lidl/Tesco Own Brand Orange Juice or muesli, and how much would I expect to pay for say Innocent or Tropicana Orange Juice or this is not just OJ, this is M&S OJ. Then average out between and go down a little from that.

[aaronjennings]

Yeah, just a little bit off on the whiskey alright...

Wichita has a storming round of 15 points to overtake dave. The early form keeps him in contention for the trolley dash though as Barney has now emerged from pet section staredown and has moved onto arming himself with canned goods....

Gonna be honest, I misread the question, and based my answer on one of those small, mini-bar bottles...

The steak threw lots of people, but not our Trigger who scored a big 5 points in that one... nothing isn't far off either and gets 2 for her troubles. Spot the meat eaters eh

It all started well enough for Seph but it seems he's crashed his trolley and is now searching for some cat toys...

Wichita has a 7 point lead and looks set to enter the trolley dash but it's a very close contest below that. dave and Barney currently occupy the qualifying spots but Kol the pretty lady is just behind them with nothing and Buile also in contention. Spears has a lot to do to catch them up... but it's not impossible...

[nothing]

Baking and steak really helped me out, but could go either way still. Think I was so out on eggs because I only buy large ones

any question I got near right so far were questions I read wrong lol! 

Let hope theres a few more I wasnt paying attention too 

[Necro]

One person got the cheese question correct 

It doesn't surprise me tbh as 1kg of cheese is not something you ordinarily see in a supermarket but apparently that's how it's priced.

Anyways the correct price for 1kg of Irish Cheddar Cheese was €10.09!

Congratulations cee_jay with a clever little guess of €10.

The rest of you get the mouldy stuff at the back of my fridge. I'm sure it was cheese at some point.

If cat food was one of the questions, I guarantee Seph would have known the answer down to the last kernal

Yeah he's being discriminated against really with the human food questions.

400g tin of Tomatoes - €0.81
A jar of marmalade - €1.91

Not sure where Kol gets his canned tomatoes from but he's overshot the runway by quite a bit here

Buile is 41 cents out on the tomatoes which scores her a point but it might not be enough as nothing picks up 3 points from the 2 questions.... Barney and dave are clinging on though picking up 5 each as well

ari is picking up some decent points on the backstretch here too, the perfect 10 in fact!

or Sawduck too, with his/her €7+ teabags!

The last two questions in hindsight were a bit too difficult.

Only 5 points were obtained for anyone, and all 5 of those went to




Clearly he likes his lamb's liver
