What's 'sharper promotions'? Is that the spike before the bogof? Sorry got a skeptical head on this morning.

So they're also going more into banking what happens when a supermarket this size goes pop? I think their size and scope should be limited both nationally and in towns and areas.

Maybe he meant 'practices' instead of 'promotions'?

I've still got my skeptical head on. PR is often intended for both customers and shareholders and will mean different things to different stakeholders. Customer - "Your getting special offers" shareholder "we're making a killing and passing the benefits on to you".

This is revealing:

Tesco value whisky £7.83 couple weeks ago now £9.29. Could understand if quality had changed but exactly same product.

Tesco 100g cat food trays.
Were 19p for over 6 months. Now suddenly gone up to 29p!
And the real cheek is that they say the Ham/Chicken was 35p, now reduced to 29p!

Never been 35p at my store, perhaps they had it at that price in one shop in the middle of nowwhere.

Do they think we can't read and won't notice!
The economy toilet roll went up, although they are bigger, but in this case the packet size is exactly the same!
