    I said right from the start "THIS WON'T LAST LONG"

    Despite all the advertising on TV, in the press and all the in-store signs Tesco will pull this DTD very soon.

    THEY HAVE TO, and the idiot that came up with this concept will be on Job-seekers allowance very soon.

    They've painted themselves into a corner. They have no choice.

    They've already indicated as much in the comment posted earlier that the PriceChecker will not return until "the offer/promotion is over"

    They have FUBB on an unprecedented scale and are about to become the ridicule of ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons etcetera. The entire supermarket industry :rotfl:

    Anyone see how it is possible they can change the terms of how you shop in store ?
    IF there is a BOGOF - YOU MUST BUY 2 :rotfl:
    They CANNOT offer a BOGOF on any product that is HALF-PRICE at ASDA
    £4 at TESCO and BOGOF ... but just £2 at ASDA - an impossible marketing concept with DTD.

    Minimum purchases and maximum DTD items ...
    Must buy 10 different items

    well that already doesn't work.
    Only "payout DTD" on 2 or 3 of the items of the 10+ in your basket ?
    Maybe those with the GREATEST DTD!
    That won't work either :rotfl:

    eg.SMIRNOFF £18 at Tesco but £10 at ASDA
    The 9 other items in the basket ? THE NINE CHEAPEST THINGS you can find in store.
    LOOSE PRODUCE :rotfl:
    1 potato (very small) - 2p
    1 mushroom (very small) - 6p
    A reduced price loaf - 15p
    Tin of Value Range Curry sauce - 7p

    etc. etc. etc. - So the 9 items cost a couple of quid - they STILL have to give you back £16 for the VODKA making it £2 a bottle.

    SO - THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE WAY YOU SHOP ! (If they can - tell me how?)

    OK then so what else ?
    (Several of you have posted that they should do this)

    REDUCE THEIR PRICES - Make them THE SAME as ASDA !!!

    DOESN'T WORK

    MAKE THEM CHEAPER THAN ASDA -

    DOESN'T WORK EITHER - EVEN MORE SO !!!!

    WHY ???

    ASDA's 10% GUARANTEE

    IF ALL the Tesco prices are the SAME or CHEAPER than ASDA .......

    ... then there is NO DTD ...

    ... BUT WHY WOULD ANYONE SHOP at TESCO ?

    You buy everything at ASDA and get 10% back :) ....

    ... making everthing at Tesco 10% more expensive than Asda whatever the price.

    So NO TESCO CUSTOMERS AT ALL - that's an even worse marketing stratedgy :)


    PULLING THE PLUG

    How embarassing - they'd definitely be riduculed.
    I can already see the Chief Exec's at ASDA :j :j :j all over the place
    and the ASDA Marketing Strategists pi$$ing themselves and :rotfl: :rotfl: wondering how Tesco could have got it all wrong.

    DO TESCO HAVE A WAY OUT ?

    HOW ABOUT .....EVERY Tesco price is made to 5.2% MORE than Asda's

    It's not perfect but it's close.

    If £10 at ASDa then £10.52 at TESCO

    You claim DTD and get 2 x 52p back so the cost of the product is £9.48

    IF you buy it at ASDA you've paid £10 BUT this is NOT 10% CHEAPER than Tesco
    10% of £10.52 is £1.052

    So ASDA "SHOULD" have sold it to you at £9.47 (£10.52 - £1.05) ...
    You do the ASDA price check routine and GET 55p back

    It's still an almighty C0CK-UP and ALL of TESCO's Prices would be DELIBERATELY :rotfl: HIGHER THAN ASDA's until the DTD voucher is claimed ....

    ... but at least they will still have customers coming IN through their doors .....

    ... and NOT MARCHING OUT AGAIN WITH 1000's of pounds worth of goods THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR !!! :rotfl:

    And they better have an eagle-eyed team of Asda Price watchers - ready to adjust their prices the minute ASDA does!
    OTHERWISE it will just start ALL OVER AGAIN :D


    A Tesco quote from the Price Check page "Of course we’re confident you will find your shopping cheaper at Tesco" ....

    ... SO MUCH SO, that they've REMOVED THEIR OWN Price Check listings that showed TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT THEY WERE NOT ...

    ... AND sometimes BY :eek: HUGE :eek: AMOUNTS


    They've made themselves a laughing stock :rotfl:



    And just think of the NEW TESCO SLOGAN :)

    "GUARANTEED TO BE 5.2% MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ASDA"


    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Of course there IS AN ALTERNATIVE - where TESCO can keep the DTD offer EXACTLY as it is ......

    DON'T SELL ANYTHING THAT ASDA DOES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    how long did that take to write?

    Thanks for that. I knew they were on offer but put them down anyway just incase they had mysteriousley sold out of some of the others.
    Cheers
