It seems only yesterday that we wrote about the launch of an exciting new bargain shop in which all products were priced at just 25p.
Well, it was only yesterday.
But in any case, that shop has been forced to close after an army of thrifty Britons bought literally all the stock.
It’s a temporary closure, of course. Bargain-hunters will only have to wait until Friday to raid the Park Royal, north London store for cut-price goods.

The low-cost food store, owned by EasyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, sells a "limited and basic range" of items. And for this month they will be available for an introductory price of 25p. It will sell grocery items including pasta, biscuits and beans, but not fresh meat, fruit or vegetables.

But we do imagine those running this latest venture from easyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou will now look for ways to prevent this sort of thing happening too frequently.
Sir Stelios said at the time of easyFoodstore’s launch: ‘Given my experience in distributing food for free in Greece and Cyprus, this is a more commercial attempt to sell basic food for 25p per item to those less well-off in the Park Royal, London area.’
The shop sells everything from digestive biscuits, tea, chickpeas and sardines to jaffa cakes and ginger nuts.
