Any News on the Supermarkets Today?

Are they really busy or quiet?
Have any started any reductions?

I think Tesco is open till 6 or 7pm, Morrisons till 5 and Waitrose till 6. These are just my locals.

Anyone have any news?

Will be braving my local Tesco shortly. Closes at 7pm, so not sure if there will be any major reductions yet.

Need milk and potatoes, so will have a look about and report back!

my morrisons closes at 5 and my friend who is the butcher there said to go in from 3pm for the main reductions.

Our local co-op had turkeys at half price at 10am this morning. The local, small tesco has run out of turkeys, no discounts there!! Supermarkets by us absolutely rammed at the moment. Hellish!

Most of the shops I passed today were heaving. TG I had my groceries delivered on the 21st !!!

Nipped out today to an express store for a fresh loaf and was in n out speedily via the self-service point! (by passing the queue!)

Hmm I'm at work right now but we are finishing soon. I might just pop in to a supermarket to see what's what but once I get home I'm not coming out again....

Aldi had most veg half price and some turkeys and chickens were also half price. Tills were busy but still got served reasonably quickly.

I heard that as well, but our local one is closing at 5.

It opened at 7, I went in at just gone 8 and it wasn't too bad. I did think about popping back about 4 to see if there were any bargains, but I really can't be bothered.

Well disappointed to say that there was nothing in my Tesco. Really surprised after last years bargains.

Most of the shelves were bare, all fresh bakery produce were reduced, but we are talking £1 down to 95p, a £1.25 loaf of bread down to £1.15.

No reduced meats apart from a poor looking fresh turkey that was down to £23 from £30.

Apart from my milk and potatoes, the only thing I bought were two reduced fresh trifles. £2.35? down to £1.13.

Canary Wharf M&S. probably the best bargain was on whole turkey reduced from £40 to £18. Veg down to £1.20. last year got loads for 10p apack. spoke to one of the staff who said that they are not reducing to those levels this year but couldnt give a reason as to why. people were hanging around in the hope that there would be more but nothing.
