Cutting up my Tesco Clubcard !

mynameisdave

You're going to start shopping at Aldi and Iceland because you dont like the number of unmanned checkouts at Tesco.

Have you had stand up comedy gigs at any time recently?

I find the cheaper prices at Asda more than outweigh the lack of a "clubcard". A recent shop for store cupboard items was £11.28 at Asda. www.mysupermarket.co.uk priced it at £17.94 in Tesco.

I used to like Asda but since they have been taken over by Walmart the quality of some items is shockingly bad.

Value biscuits, for example, taste perfectly ok from Tescos and Sainsbury's but Asdas are awful. Same with so many other things too.

I dont shop anymore with Asda as I was throwing too much stuff away.

I don't have any loyalty cards from supermarkets so I don't feel that I've got to shop in one so that I can get some points, even if the food is dearer.

I regularly spend longer queuing to pay than I do going around the store.

Why not use the self service paying mechanism. At least it saves the queueing

Just to say he started it

Oh no I didn't. Oh yes you did. Any more of this and it is early to bed with no supper for you!

I have a couple, and I shop wherever the food is cheapest for my needs. I've never used a particular supermarket because of my card(s), I can't understand why people would do so. I shop mainly at Morrisons (no card available there) and get some things from Tesco, sainsbury's, my local 24 hour Co-op and (happily the cheapest place and only 10 mins walk away) my wonderful local Asian store.
I'm lucky in my location though, obviously

The queue for those in Tesco Shoreham are sometimes 20 deep and they never work properly. Last Saturday @ 19:50 they had customers with full trolley loads trying to use them as the regular tills were so busy (the 9 out 25 that were open).

Thats good. We can now take a bonus warning from this topic that large numbers of people in Shoreham count a Saturday night out as Tesco shopping

Nowhere did I say I will START shopping at Aldi Lidl or Iceland. I've shopped regularly at all of them for years. You expect queues in discount stores, that's how they keep their prices down. Tesco are not a discount store which is why they can justify 30 checkouts, but then they choose not to man a third of them and have queues. That is the difference.

Keep up man - and read the small print.;)
