tesco's big price drop!

ic

All they've done is create their own version of Morrison's "Price Crunch" and Asda's "Rollback" - the Tesco "Price Drop". Its all marketing, and they've sold it well to the newspapers - its all just smoke and mirrors.

What a load of rubbish, items that ive bought for months and months are now more expensive.

Ive always bought tesco light cheese 500g, 2 packs for a fiver but now with the 'price drop' you cant get the 2 for £5 and its £3.99 a pack so now its gonna cost me £7.98. Well its not gonna cost me that cos i may as well go Morrisons and buy my cheese there thats on offer and use my £10 off £60 shop voucher from sundays Mirror

I had the last laugh today. £10 off a £70 spend voucher that was posted to me by Tesco, £5 off a £40 spend from the Daily Mail, £10 off a £50 spend from Morrissons and a £1.00 off Oral B toothpaste till spit.
Result, £26 0ff a £72.00 spend.:beer:

And all, legit!:D

Ta muchly.:T

This lower pricing thingie is deffo a load of bowling balls, in my opinion.:(

My next delivery will be free from Ocado, with all items reduced, 3 for 2, etc and fruit and veg from Rosspa.

the whole things a con, Tesco have bumped up a lot of prices to then 'price drop them'! we always buy a tesco whole chicken which is always £4 , an ad in the paper has the chicken priced at £5 to then slash the price to £4! what a joke!

I thought I was being clever getting the big tubs of chocolates at a fiver each & gradually preparing for Christmas. Today I see they're £4.50.
Oh Cobblers. Yes, a price cut. Just on something I don't buy often & have already got. :mad:

The basic price may have reduced but the lack of multibuys on basic goods means that prices have actually increased!

Last week 3x4pint semi-skimmed milk was 3 for £3. Today at the "reduced price" they are £1.25 each - total £3.75.

My milk bill goes up by 25%

Bread products are similar.

"The big price drop"?? Marketing bull - Tesco shopping is actually MORE EXPENSIVE this week!

Couldn't agree more. A few Tesco own brand things that I don't tend to buy claim to have their price dropped, including the milk which as you say is now 25% more expensive when you buy 3x 4 pints - and I believe this offer was previously advertised as running until the end of the year (as I like to look at these things!)

What a load of rubbish. Sainsbury's has the milk offer until at least 15th November so looks like we'll be going there.
