Fair Play Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just didn't realise how big an increase there was on pigeon food bought 2 bags ordinary pigeon mix from the local pet shop used to be £16.90 /2 now £25.98 for the same product.Will now have to go to some of the bigger suppliers, is there any wholesalers in the Glasgow area. I like to support the local shop but will have to look at cutting out the middleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
