A mum who took her two children to Winter Wonderland in Cardiff was charged almost £50 for two bags of pick ‘n’ mix.
The family try to go to the festive event every year, and this time had bought 40 tokens for £40 to let them go on the rides on Saturday.Things took a turn for the even more costly, however, when her children spotted the Great British Fudge Company ‘all lit up and looking amazing’ and asked if they could get a bag of sweets each from the stall in a converted double decker bus.Rhiannon explained: ‘I helped my youngest to do hers and my husband said don’t go mad on the sweets – it’s £2.
Rhiannon, from Mountain Ash, added: ‘I didn’t hear the woman say the price to my husband but I could tell by his reaction it was high so I asked him how much. He said £47.26, and I said: “What, you can’t be serious?”. ‘They had one weighing scales from what I could see attached to the till where people were queuing to pay, so it wouldn’t be as easy as weighing as you go.
In a statement, they said: ‘Rhiannon has explained to us that she was aware of the price displayed of £2.79 per 100g, but was still shocked at the final price when weighed. She also explained that she chose to pay for the goods so as not to disappoint the children and because they had already started eating them.
