Does anyone else find Tesco expensive?

Everything at Tesco seems to be going up in leaps and bounds but I always start my shop in the half/price bogof section and then build the rest of the shop around it.

The quality of Sainsburys food is much better but I can't afford to shop there unless it's yellow stickered so that's what I tend to do!

I did shop at Asda for a while and found the quality of thier own brand stuff wasn't brilliant but they're definitely good for branded goods.

Yes another one for Lidl Aldi Heron and Pound shops.
Sains hardly ever unless voucher and almost never for Tesco because, too big, too tricky.

Hi all,
just wanted to add my opinion to the expensive chat about tesco being too expensive. ..
I am an existing membr of staff and i find it way too expensive even with a 10% discount card . I have noticed at the tills that some customers get special offers like £6 of a £40 shop etc etc but as a membr of staff we dont get these which really makes our discount card pointless and tesco know this which is why a lot of staff are now shopping elsewhere..
I shopped in Aldi on way home from work last friday in my tesco uniform and was stopped by the manager of that store and questioned by him for a good 10 minutes as to why i shop there instead of my employers shops.
He couldnt stop smiling knowing that even staff are not spending their salary at the company they work for...
Last note to add I EVEN INSURE MY CAR WITH ASDA because they were £175 cheaper.......

WAKE UP TESCO.

In all honesty I'm surprised. I miss the 10% discount used it and stocked up all the more when the 20% came along.
I'm still using some of the items I 'stocked up on' because of the low prices two months ago.
I'm surprised too you've never had the till spits - though at the moment it's more about the Fuel save rather than conditional spend promotions.
I've been doing more shopping in Sainsburys recently - but that's only because they sent me £8.00 off with a £40.00 spend, though I had to work hard to make sure that was worth it - compared with Tesco pricing.
Next will either be Morrisons £4.00 off £40.00, or Farmfoods £5.00 off £25.00.
Morrisons & Tescos are the best for any date reductions - I've never seen them at Lidl/Aldi.
If I didn't have any conditional spend vouchers, it would either be Tesco or Maybe Morrisons (love they Cafes too), Lidls no never find enough to buy.

Yes we started to find Tesco increasingly expensive. Cost a fortune to fill the freezer.

We now do that in Iceland and everything else from Tesco. 6 months on we're saving £5 per month and getting loads more for the same money.

Currently looking at taking more business away from Tesco and going to Lidl. No car so will cost £4 total for 2xbus there & back, not sure if that one will work economically or practically, but going to try at some point.
