20 cents - we dream of 20 cents - not even taking them here in Camarles, according to our neighbour.

Ah well - less to do at the moment - maybe leave it 'til December when thay are all down, and see if the price improves.
If not, then store them 'til next year.

I have now found out why the carob prices have dropped!! Cry Cry

Like Sainsbuggers Morrisons and Tesco, all major users negotiate down their buy prices every year Angry Angry

And McDonalds is no exception to the rule, so this year they must be buying their Carob Gum from Spain
