Batter scraps, a beloved freebie often enjoyed from local chippies, have become a subject of debate with their recent appearance on M&S shelves for £2.
Customers have taken to social media to express their disbelief and frustration at the charge for something traditionally given away at no cost. The issue has sparked discussions about the value of such items and the childhood memories associated with receiving scraps from chippies.
M&S’s decision to sell batter scraps has reignited a debate about the pricing of food and the nostalgia associated with certain culinary experiences. While some customers have expressed excitement about the new product, others have questioned the rationale behind paying for something that was previously available free of charge.
The introduction of batter scraps at M&S has highlighted the changing landscape of food consumption and the perceived value of different culinary items. It remains to be seen whether the demand for packaged scraps will sustain their current price point or if they will eventually revert to their traditional status as a complimentary offering.
