    tesco do not seem to understand, there too concerned with the share price and keeping shareholders happy. poor quality products and service. at least at one point you could claim tesco were forward thinking but now there so scared of not been top dog there doing anything to keep the figures in check...thats what it seems to me. we have shopped there for last say 3 years at various locations but i think i will try another store...thinking mr m next week...love there fresh produce

    its a complete con ive been shopping with them for years and since this so called price drop my everyday items have gone up! all they keep saying is but 3000 products have been reduced well how come when i checked their list online only two thing were on there that i buy

    what do they class as essentials these days?

    im disappointed at the points drop aswell theyre not offering anything inreturn i might jsut have to shop elsewhere

    Well what a con... Duvel - a Belgium beer used to be 1.86 a bottle ( give or take a penny..) last week it had a price drop sign and was 1.76 (ish) a bottle. Now it is an expensive beer but I was surprised they had done a price drop as I don't imagine it is a huge seller. However tonight the price has gone up to £1.99 !!! how did that happen..? drop the price by 10p for a week and then put it up by 14p more than it was the week before... ??!! Do they think we are all stupid?

    *just checked online and it shows as £1.73 price dropped from £1.82 meaning the instore rise is actually 18p - 10% ! How come it is cheaper on line?
  • At 8.15am a couple of days ago, I bought a large tiger bloomer loaf for 60p.:j

    Why are there so many people surprised by Tesco's conning tactics? Like all supermarkets(only more often), they have been introducing stealth price increases for years.

    Duvel up to 2 months ago was £1.28 a bottle with pricing stickers saying £1.29 in ADSA/Sainsburys :money:

    Bottles of real ales/beers etc selling for almost £2 each come in boxes of 8 with a RRP of £8 (they were stacked in Lidl). If £1 each is RRP every little helps :rotfl:

    The less customers buy the more the prices go up to mainatin profit.
    It needs a massive switch away to a competitor or for people to 'give up' alcohol, fags, and rubbish food etc. Why for heavens sake are their ten different kinds of everything.

    tesco`s is a rip off, most people with any sense shop at asda :j
    even they are dear on some stuff eg,
    asda`s leeks have been £1.80 all year, so i get them from aldi £1
    now at the end of the season asda`s have gone down to a pound finally
    :cool: knowing my luck lidl probably have them for 59p or something...however,
    i am lucky i have all the major stores within a mile or two,
    and i have all the time in the world to shop around, :T
    some of the fruit and vegetables in supermarkets are bought by managers on computers i personally would not feed it to a pig,
    i have respect for pigs,

    bye bye :)
