Another Tesco Massive Price Increase

Just makes me happy I can go to the market on Saturdays - Otherwise my spending on fruit/salad would be at least £30 a week.

I keep hearing about supermarkets refusing coupons printed from the internet, i have seen it and experienced it myself.

Depends on the store - the manager has discretion over the National policy. Our store takes as many as you've got which for me is usually £6 - £12 each time as they all have to be different. I just go in more often and buy less - I try and get at least 40% off my shopping. If they pull the policy they will lose shedloads of customers to Aldi, etc.
Also depends on the SA - sometimes you have to stick to your guns and ask for a supervisor to check what they are saying is correct.

And its when you add all these things together, it really winds me up when people come on here making excuses for them raising prices by huge amounts.
Hello, this is moneysavingexpert.com not justifysupermarketpricerises.com

I quite agree. It is unbelievable there are any supermarket apologists about who don't work for them.

Sharwoods Chinese sauces have been 30p in our Tesco for at least 3 months for some bizarre reason but we were delighted to see they were half-price yesterday at just 86p. I wish my employer used Mr T's calculator for working out my salary!

Here is the text of an Email i received last night from Trading Standards regarding me being diddled twice. (Once, even while i was standing at C/S getting another one sorted out !

Dear xxxx
My name is XXXXXX and I am an Enforcement Officer with Hull City Council Trading Standards, I have been passed your complaint for investigation.
Following receipt of your complaint a colleague and myself have visited the Tesco store at the St Stephens Shopping Centre to review the pricing.
We sample by obtaining a number of random products and noting the price shown on the shelf edge and then comparing this with the price that appears on the point of sale system. On this occasion we sampled a hundred products, three of these came back with an incorrect indication.
As a result these have been rectified and hopefully our visit will help to ensure that they keep a tighter control on prices in store generally.
Please be aware that we periodically inspect all the supermarkets within the Hull boundary and perform these checks.
I would like to thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and hope that you have found our actions acceptable. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely XXXXX

mmmm

see online the tomatoes are back at 33p today after being 38p yesterday. Now if this is the price, as in it has gone back again, am I being overly paranoid if thinking they are trying to induce rivals to also change price?

Why don't you ask Sir Terry if this 43% price hike is due to Mushrooms now being traded in US Dollars a bit like oil ?
