HAD TO SHARE THIS !!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from my local ASDA store doing the weekly normal shop and i noticed that on every single till they had an A4 poster which was a photocopy of a newpaper article, it read big headlines TESCO LIMIT ASDA PRICE CHECK PROMISE so hillarious my asda are totally showing tesco up for their underhanded tactics to make sure we dont all figure out that Asda have been cheaper all along.

I know DTD has been most good for a lot of people, i am not certain the either Tesco or Asda are cheaper than the other. Both stores run marketing and discount campaigns, that are arranged with the manufacturers markerting strategies. The suppliers supply chains couldn't often cope with the impact of a BOGOF deal in both chains at the same time, which is why the offers will often switch between Tesco and Asda over a number of weeks. Overall and assuming you shopped the same items most weeks, between the two stores I expect there is little difference. The differences will show up if you specifically target those items that are on offer. But this is not a representative view of who is generally cheaper. Both chain work with similar margins.

How many 'Normal' shops with no targetting DTD items have yielded a large returning voucher? I think we should not complain to Tesco and let the good times roll while it lasts. Tesco are under no obligation to offer DTD, it is good Customer service, and we are benefiting, so why complain?

i don't think they were complaining about tesco price check/DTD....

The columns with a red highlight are usually hidden. We only unhide them when we're updating. The updates get pulled through into those from the form that people submit.
All it means is that there is an update for that row. If you are worried, compare the value in red with the value immediately before it. You'll notice that for most of them, it is just the date which is different which means it is just a confirmed date change.

Thanks so much for the info. Think I must be missing something though as some do not have any date change or price change such as the rump steak?

Just had a phone call from a young lady who said the opening line "Hello, it's Tesco here...." <<<OMG!! squeaky bum!!>>> "....just to let you know your glasses are ready to collect".

I nearly had a heart attack!

I wasnt complaining abt the price check i just found it funny coz when i go into tesco they now dont advertise the price check anywhere, but when i go to asda this morning they are advertising the tesco price check and its flaws for tescos, just made me giggle.

Boy, you guys in Bristol are taking DTD a little too seriously - starting a riot and setting fire to Tescos?

A little OTT methinks ... I doubt that is in the spirit of the promotion!

Just heard about the bristol riot on the news.

I said to my bf was somebody refused DTD at Tesco that sparked it :rotfl:

They targeted it because:-

The Tesco Metro store damaged in the violence was the subject of a concerted campaign to prevent its opening, with campaigners complaining that the store would not benefit the community.

I am going to do 2 DTD shops today
