Tesco back to there old tricks again. I rarely use tesco now then they wonder why there profits are down whilst Sainsburys are increasing

They can not be trusted any more they deceived people far too many times

...65p for value tissues??!

Thats just going too far- pound shop has multipacks, last time I checked Sainsburys had the too-high price of 45p which is now looking a lot better. Tissues, recycled paper- they hand over free newspapers at a rate I doubt is countable yet a box of tissues weighing less then many newspapers (so presumably less recycled paper) now costs more.

Maybe I should start using loo roll instead!

Tesco aren't daft (but they think we are) as you have to spend £40 to get a £5 voucher and then spend £40 to use that voucher!!

Morrisons Spent 45p (Monday 16th Mirror) and I got a £5 voucher and a voucher for 80 Typhoo Teabags!!! Morrisons have the win your shopping back (5 per store) and win £5,000 free shopping in the Mirror!!! (and 10 x £500)

I actually paid 23p for the value baby wipes, so for me they doubled in price just as I was about to stock up on them. So I didn't. Shocking.

with their own brand baby wipes (not the value ones), they have kept the price the same but reduced the pack size from 80 wipes to 64 - so equivelant of a 20% reduction in the pack for the same price!!!

Just wanted to vent at how annoyed I am that my local Tesco supermarket, not an express or metro, an actual supermarket, has stopped stocking most of their "value" range. I went in today to get some cottage cheese to have with a jacket potato tonight, and they only stocked two of their "lighter" range cottage cheese. So I couldn't get the value one like I wanted, and had to get the more expensive one, which has garlic and chives in it. They didn't even stock their lighter plain one. They didn't even have a place on the shelf for it.
They've also stopped stocking their value sweets such as the toffees and midget gems.
Not a happy shopper today, and from now on I'll walk further and go to the tesco extra. Would have gone their today but it's pouring with rain and it's 3 miles away and I don't have a car.
Seems the area the local tesco is in is too posh to stock their value range. Bunch of snobs.

I used Tesco value soap as a general barometer of performance, as they're only 15-30p, if they don't put those out on display in the biggest proper stores (eg Surrey Quays) then sales are doing badly.

You have however, been introduced to the totally ridiculous and random way that Mr T differentiates between stores - chopping out more than one value line is a new one for me, it's normally randomised condiments or in some Expresses, no honey whatsoever - just something you wouldn't think about before you can't see it on sale anywhere.

The pound shop for tissues is a good idea if you can get decent sized multipacks so I'll go looking for those over the weekend.

65p indeed! At one point last year they were 25p a box in Asda but no doubt they are 65p there too.

It's ridiculous. Hardest times after Christmas, I'm sure many people are turning to the value products, and we don't even get the choice of buying them. I would understand not stocking value items in the express shops as people usually pop in those when they desperately need something, and are usually willing to pay the price. But as for the proper supermarket not stocking a lot of the value stuff, I just think its another way of them trying to trick their customers, which I think they are going to lose a lot of sooner rather than later...
