I like to know the prices of the Island !
Posted: Sat August 25, 2007 12:16 PM UTC

I heard that a cigarette and alcohol are more inexpensive with the jersey than the British mainland, but will the other things be cheap?
(Chocolate, Crisps and etc..... )
I go to the island in this autumn; is planning it.
(but it's so long long way from my home....)
Thanks, MAIGO

I'm afraid that everything will be at least a bit more expensive than in the mainland UK, simply because Jersey is an island and thus shipping costs have to be included.

Hi, J-san and Anke-Thea-san!
Thank you for replies! They'er so helpful to me.

After all because the jersey is an island.（France is nearer, besides）
NO VAT = shipping charge
The prices are not extremely different from the British mainland.

Hello Maigo,
VAT is a tax, not a shipping charge.
