Tesco price increases

mavvymoo

Went to Mr T's yesterday as I was passing value peppers now £1.25 from £1.00 and Mushrooms £1.25 from £1.00 !!

Got home 15 miles away from store making spag bol and 3 of the peppers were rotten and I couldn't use them and the mushrooms had seen better days and couldn't use them either :(Had to get in the car to drive to Mr M so I could do cook dinner.
Just phoned to complain and have been told I need to return them to store ! Told them its a 30 mile round trip for me and not worth spending more money .Told sorry we cant help

No wonder their profits are down

So just completed "How did we do" survey on line and told them how they did Feel a bit better now :T

I will not shop there again

1kg of Tesco's own cat biscuits. Was £1.13 when first brought out last month, then went to £1.19 the next time I went to buy it and it is now £1.24

Seems to be going up in price every two weeks

Got the vouchers to spend, probably my last trip to Mr. T.ever.
Inconvenient anyway and Lidl seem to price match.
Though they do say..... never say never.

I had a voucher as well so went to Tesco for a shop. It's been a long time. A couple were talking about unbelievable price hikes of the fruit juices. The woman told the man to "complain to the manager" but I couldn't help feeling they would be better off just not shopping there in future. I told her they have the biggest market share implying that they currently think they can charge what they like. I tried to tell her about this website but got the name wrong ooops!!!

I am new to this thread and have been reading it with interest .

We are a family of 4 (DS2 is 7 months old so doesn't count as a full person in terms of food shopping at the moment) and have been shopping at Tesco for years. I do online shopping as I am able to budget better this way because when I go into the shop I easily tend to overspend by £20 or so on unecessary items.

Anyway, our weekly food shop budget is £85 and I was spending around £75 a few weeks ago but all of a sudden the prices in Tesco have rocketed :mad:.

I did a food shop last Thursday which came to £87 and by Tuesday had little left, so from next week I am going to try Aldi to see how much I spend. Also the fruit and veg in Tesco seems to be going off after 2-3 days!!

This is definitely a thread I will be keeping an eye on .

Yesterday I took my clementines out of the shopping bag when I got home and found that one of them had already gone mouldy!

Hope you took them back ! Ive taken back chicken before that had been in my fridge a day or two but when i came to use it , it had gone off even though it was still within it's use by date. I got a refund no problem at all.

Researchers at Warwick University have come up with this gem:

Over an 8 year period Tesco changed the price of Dolmio microwave sauce 88 times, cutting it 69 times - 40 of which were reductions of 1p - and on other occasions raising it by as much as 10p.

Price cutting campaigns can be a clever way of increasing the cost of a weekly shop. Many items are reduced by a penny or so while a smaller number of items are increased in price by larger amounts.

If I drove I probably would have but to walk there takes nearly an hour (I hate buses plus walking is my exercise) and I didn't feel it was worth it for one mouldy clementine. I only went there in the first place because I had a good voucher to use. Won't be going again though. Completely understand where you are coming from though.
