Food price cuts

Obukit

Rubbish they've only cut own label prices, not any of the Value stuff.

For all the hype they made about it, and the fact that they cut double points to "pay" for a few pennies off here and there, I think we've been conned. I thought they would at least have a couple of really cheap products so people would go home and say, "You'll never guess what, Tescos are selling beans for 3p" or whatever.

To be honest, nothing had changed. Price cuts my backside, yes on a few key products like ham and pasta sauce but the shelves were bare and everything was confusing. Nothing was a round pound, the multibuy offers were still everywhere and so was BOGOF, so the whole story was a load of !!!!.

Agreed. And i'm damn sure we will end up paying more for shopping really. Its meat prices they need to cut! Not a loaf of bread by 10p!

They didn't even have any meat, it was empty, but yes meat prices are the huge expense in anyones shop really. Besides the 55p bread is there horrible own-brand hard stuff which always seems stale compared to Morrisons.

I only go in Tesco for their surprisingly tasty 15p spaghetti (tomato sauce in tin variety, not plain pasta). Other than, A$da and L!dl are the only places for me and my purse.

I agree Tesco's and it shareholders rarely take a hit

The person who will end up carrying the cost of these "cuts" will be the farmer - as usual.

When all the "budget" shoppers, who demand milk at £1 for 4 pints have driven the UK milk producers to the wall - watch Mr T ramp up his prices then - and blame the "foreigners" !

My daughter loves the 15p spaghetti, I bought a branded tin for her once and she said it was too thick and glutenous. She much preferred the cheapest as it was more tomato-ey.
