Stelios is a clever man. Lots of free advertising for a new cut price food store.

Many basic items such as sugar - tea - canned drinks - bottled water - beer - vegetables and milk can be found below 25 pence / 35 cents in lo-cost stores in the UK already.

And next month when it all goes to 50 pence he'll once again be on a winner !
