Tesco prices starting to creep up

[Deleted User]

My DD told me today that the OJ which has been 57p per litre has gone up to 64 this week and lots of things have gone up not only by the od one or two pennies but by 5 & 10 p at a time .I am glad I am staying out of the big stores this month and only 'shopping 'from my cupboards and fridge/freezer.

P.S. The big Tesco's are getting their easter eggs on display this week as well.greedy beggers

Schwepps lemonade/diet lemonade 2L.

Old price £1.05, new price £1.15.
Old offer two for £1.50 new offer two for £1.70.

Increase of aprox 10% to 13%. Bit more then the 2% vat increase me thinks....

As my signature implies we stopped using Tesco a long time ago.
Prices are generally higher, including petrol and diesel.
A lot of the staff think they own the place. Attitude stinks.
Somebody has to pay for the club card points. (customer does through higher prices).
We mainly shop at Asda (lower prices, really good tasting vegetables, with friendlier and more helpful staff).
Also use Lidl for additional items. Certain items from there are exceptionally good.

I fully agree regarding Asda's staff but as for prices definitely not convinced!

Not just Tesco, they all are. And it's the customers who are the greedy beggers, not the stores...if the demand wasn't there then they wouldn't waste valuable shelf space.

Prices have been creeping up a long time - still miss the value shortbread for 9p! It is now 30p and showing no downward movement at all! It is not just the clubcard points to be paid for, but all the "special offers", can't believe it when people buy things just because they are on special, especially when there is a Lidl 5 mins drive from our local massive Tesco that has slightly more realistic prices on a lot of things including fresh fruit & veg!

Prices are creeping up with a few of the major supermarkets. For example Tesco store - Golden Nuggets was £1.74 (or around that) now £2.06 - Sainsbury (& Tesco) Birdseye waffles was £1.25 now £1.49. I could go on and on with the increases but I won't If you know what you want before you go check with mysupermarket first to see who will come up the cheapest, sadly this does not include Morrisons.
I really do believe that these supermarkets think that their customers do not have a brain

but then the supermarkets are businesses and they are there to make money, maybe theres costs somewhere along the line that couldnt be avoided and they have been passed onto to tesco

I blindly shop in Tescos to be fair, because it's a couple of hundred yards away. Maybe time to look elsewhere.
