I'm planning to take just a few necessities for a no-frills, tight-budget trip to London. (Taking one carry-on backpack, for a length of a one-week stay)
Can you give me approximate prices of items listed below?
Pounds are fine, I can do the math into dollars.
Thank you!
Toothpaste
Shampoo/Conditioner
2 AA batteries
bar of soap
1 pair of fair quality women's trousers
collapsible umbrella
a pack of ciggys
lighter
loaf of sliced bread at the supermarket
a can or a bottle of Coca-Cola at the supermarket

Well, for a start, you can find about a thousand cheaper shops than Marks & Spencer.
Average prices:
Small tube of Toothpaste: £ 1.00
Shampoo/conditioner:£ 1.75
2 good quality AA batteries: £.2.99
soap: 50p
fair quality women's trousers: around £12.00 (for cheap clothes try the "Primark" chain..very good value for money)
small collapsible umbrella: £5.00 ( but liable to break in strong winds!)
20 ciggys: £4.00 (very expensive because they are taxed to the maximum, quite rightly!)
ligher: £1.00 (box of matches even cheaper!)
basic large loaf of sliced white bread: 90p
can of coke: 50p, bottle is around 75p
