What can you buy for £4.73?

The answer is not an awful lot nowadays! Gone are the days when my £1 pocket money would last a week, I am a child of the 80's and I remember when I could go to the corner shop to buy penny sweets and the ice cream man sold a '10p special' which was a ice cream cone with a strawberry ice lolly stuck in the top, now you would be lucky to get an empty cone for 10p.

I read an article the other day comparing prices in 1960 to today, it made interesting reading, in 1960 £4.73 would buy you;
104 loaves of white bread, 157 pints of milk, 94 litres of petrol, 78 portions of fish and chips or 2 barbie dolls
whereas now now you would only get 5 loaves of bread, 10 pints of milk, 3 litres of petrol, 1 portion of fish and chips or just half of the cheapest barbie doll.

I doesn't seem like you can a lot for a fiver now but you might be surprised to learn that £4.73 is the price of 1 Pop n Grow baby grow, £4,73 can help to keep a special care baby warm, £4.73 might not seem a lot but to those babies and their parents it is priceless.
