I think that with all the time we save searching for DTD items, we should be writing our shopping lists and then comparing tesco/asda/sainsburys prices to divide our lists into 3 - if we aren't visiting Tesco twice a day, we can find the time to visit at least 2 of the 3 to get the best deals.

It takes me back to when we were kids doing the saturday morning grocery shop. Tesco and Sainsbury's were next door to each other in the shopping centre and my mum and dad would go round Tesco with a list checking all the prices, go to the Sainsburys and buy the cheapest and then go back to Tesco for the rest.

The advent of large out of town supermarkets killed this skill and (until now) we've forgotten about it. Now we have the internet, we can get back to basics and compare prices before we leave the house.

I agree with all these posts what has really brought it home to me is bread.

we go through a fair bit, a loaf every day on average.

Now then a split loaf is Mr T £1.20 Mr A .80. How can Mr T justify charging .40p more for a loaf it bakes on site. I dont beleive its ingredients are any better or that it has higher overheads or pays staff more?

As said by many before and after me.....This has opened my eyes to ALL supermarkets tactics.

Regards

TBH i think this is where the deal is gunna bite back on Mr T, i doubt he thought that it would reveal tactics used by them and/or highlight areas where Mr A is ridicuously cheaper! But i know when this is over i will be checking where i can buy what for how much and shopping in different shops based on what i can get cheaper! :eek:

I'm hoping they're there


The stores I've been to in Swansea, it seems not many people are doing it, as all the DTD items I've looked for have been plentiful, and the cashiers say "Oh, I've never had one of these." I'm in a different town today though, so we shall see.


If all else fails I'll get 4 tins of salmon again, that is always there :rotfl:

that's the beef in asda that's comparable(for some strange reason) to the Tesco's one

Let me tell you a little story about OH....He had a £94 voucher left to use and had treated me to a kindle the other day, decided he wanted his own. Anyway, he had to be in Leeds last night so popped to one on the way (out of town he said) Anyway, had problems with the voucher and had to be somewhere at a set time, the sa walked off with his voucher for ages so he had to walk out leaving the voucher.:eek:

Sooo, he went back after his appointment, managed to get his voucher back and went to the electrics counter, the male sa said actually, 'wouldn't you prefer the 3G one?'

'No', he says, 'I'm happy with the wifi one. '

'Well', says the the SA, 'I have a 3g one here that I had to open for a customer to have a look, nothing wrong with it, just had to reduce it, so you can have it for £130 if you want it.'

'Hmmm,' say's OH, 'no I'll leave it thanks.'

'Ok, tell you what, I'll through in a 3 year accidental warranty with it!'

S'old,' says OH.

So he get's his voucher out, 'Oh' say's SA, 'not sure if I can do it with that'....2 managers later, yes he can use it, but there is a problem with the way that the voucher is printed as it's done on a screen dump as work doesn't print them out properly, so no, they can't take it.

I' know', say's SA, 'why don't you come in the back office and print it off again', OH goes in back, logs on, finds the email and THE POWER GOES OFF! At 10pm everything shuts down as that's what time electrical dept closes.

So, SA finds him another computer, wont connect to the internet, so OH uses his phone to provide a Wifi hotspot, but he's fast runnig out of phone battery...can't get the password to work, down to 4% battery, realises CAPs lock is on, finally connects, where shall I send to print it?
'Oh, I forgot about that' says SA, ends up pulling a printer out of a box and installing it! Finally prints off and he get's the Kindle. He said the SA was great and should have finished at 10pm, I said he should ring up and praise him but he doesn't want it to backfire and SA get in trouble if they find out exactly what he did.

love it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: well at least he got a good deal in the end & now someone will on the printer :T:T:T:T
