Tesco - why do people shop there?

abaxas

I'm curious...

GF tots up how much we spend at supermarkets. Each time we look it's about 10-15% more expensive (for the same or similar items) at tesco rather than asda.

So why do people continue to shop there? Maybe the range is better? There has to be a reason since lots of people on OS appear to love Mr T's.

Clubcard points?

I have to agree with you though, I find Mr T's expensive too!

Has always worked out the cheapest shop for us.

Not sone scientifically or anything but just buying a normal weekly shop is cheaper in Tesco.

Because Tesco is a mile up the road and Asda is twelve miles away! Before we moved, it was Asda every time.

I prefer the local Tesco stores to the Asda store, the Asda is a great big ugly monstrosity that has been built without any regard to how it fits in to the area around it.

Also I find it cheaper to shop at Tesco and I get my points...

Tesco's is nearer to me than Asda (but how I dream of having a local Sainsburys or Waitrose!) and slightly cheaper than Somerfield. And the self-scan tills mean I can use loads of coupons to get money off my shopping!

Nearest Asda is about 20 miles away. Tesco is up the road and will deliver. And I'm saving points for a holiday (nearly £1000 in deals so far, still collecting).

i agree nearest asda 25 mile round trip tesco just up the road - i do visit asda occasionally if i am working elswere and passing them therefore i can claim back most of the petrol cost as travel expences!!

I dont know, the Tesco here is hideous and depressing, it is like Dawn of the Dead

Like most other people, it's the nearest supermarket to me (1/2 mile) and we don't have a car.

I occasionally got Asda on Saturday to get their pizzas.

Mainly Clubcard points and the Tesco delivery, when our local Asda half a mile away doesn't.
