Know the price of everything and the value of nothing?

I gave my class two bags of shopping today and told them to estimate the prices. The results provided an insight into prices in their country as well as the value they placed on the item.

Chocolate costing ONE POUND was 'priced' at THREE POUNDS+
Fruit at ONE POUND was priced at over THREE etc.

From the pricing we were able to discuss:

a. pricing policy
b. market research
c. elasticity
d. image/quality

... and also the cost of meals with a host family!
