    Tesco appear to think we really believe a £10 bottle of wine is good value at £5 and tastes like £1.99!
    The practice of putting an item on sale in a small store for 48 hours at twice the price(this is the law) they want and then halving it is completely duplicitious and needs to be stamped out and exposed.

    Go elsewhere.

    Have pretty much stopped shoping at t's in the last few months due to the cost. Have been to lidls a lot more and asda as a second to that. Market and pound shops too.
    Icleand is a good one too for frozen bagged veg.

    Only downside is not getting any clubcard point for days out.

    I buy breaded chicken and in Tesco it jumped from £2 to £2.50.

    Have now switched shopping to MOrrisons and they are £2.20 there for the same product. It also has around half the salt and half of the vegetable oil. Morrisons also do 46p bags of salad which are great.

    Won't be shopping again at Tesco as its now bad value for money

    I must admit, despite the fact that our nearest branch looks pretty nasty, Morrisons has impressed Mrs B and I enough to have abandoned Tesco and pretty much Sainsbury's too, in its favour.

    Much as I dislike Tesco though, I have to say that Sainsbury is probably even worse, in my experience - not for its dodgy dealing (no one matches Tesco in that respect!) as for horrible prices with no obvious gain in quality.

    Morrisons is not a nice shopping experience as Tesco is as the aisles are more cramped and some of their customers... so I try and go when its quiet, but Tesco is really having a laugh with some of its prices, especially when you consider its greater buying power too with their almost 2000 stores

    Years ago we used to be regular tesco shoppers shopping in superstore.

    Eldest is 7next month and havent shopped there since she as 4-5 on regular basis.

    Diddent help they knocked it down.

    I have 2freinds who only shop at tesco exclusivly.

    one accrued enough clubcard points for 2flights to newyork.
    The other has no kids and lives convieniance food so dont think she realises how expensive it is.

    Im more annoyed about their ethics with pricing, way they treat people and now their food safety can they be trusted theres reason they were 29% and others were not?

    interesting to see ho their next 1/4sales will be they damaged image right now.
