T rant!:mad::mad::mad::mad::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Perhaps wondering what you think about this -

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/10095913/Asda-to-send-surplus-chilled-foods-to-charity-after-Bogof-waste-warning.html

An article from a few days ago now, taken from the Telegraph, about food waste - and cue me falling in support of A and S and criticising T again. (It just seems to me...)

It reports about bogof promotions and Lord Prescott saying bogofs lead to increased food waste and the retailer trade body saying the link is 'very small'. Lord Prescott's said customers should have the option of asking the supermarket to send the extra one to a food bank. Asda, it reports, scrapped bogofs in 2009 and has now launched a scheme to send chilled food surplus direct to Fareshare.

And - cue T rant! - article then goes on about T launching a campaign in May to cut food waste. T "...now says food will come in smaller sizes":rotfl::rotfl: - so cue T charging us the same price for getting less. Okay if we aren't wasting it, but can also be seen as giving us less value, especially if we are careful not to waste the quantity we get - as throwing food away generally wastes money. I say "generally" because sometimes you can have bizarre situations where a greater quantity actually costs, outright, fewer pence than a smaller one - or even £3/any 2 for £2.50. (I think the rationale is that, apart from getting rid of stock, people often actually miss a multibuy even if it is there.)

The article turns to Sains.

I think - although it seems a bit misquoted and could actually be referring to '3 for 2' offers - they are quoted as saying "large families appreciate multi-buy offers such as '2 for 3'" I]sic[/I. I think this might mean "2 for £3". Whether a large family or not, I can tell you I don't appreciate 2 for £3.00!!:rotfl::rotfl:(I'd much rather have the previous price of £1 each - and buy only one! Or, better, compare vs that - and with a multi glitch elsewhere whereby the one comparing item goes high price to compare vs that £1 for it!)

Back to T and cue my criticism again. T quoted in the article: "BOGOF deals only account for a small proportion of our promotions". Yes, that may well be true, but note the words carefully! What about 3 for 2s? Notice how, in typical T style to me, they've only referred to "BOGOF deals". Thus allowing them to exclude 3 for 2s and 4 for 3s (arguably even more wasteful) and to say that BOGOFs only form a small proportion. I bet that proportion is not so small when the 3 for 2s etc. are added! Especially when, if they have moved to 3 for 2s, allowing them now to be able to say that BOGOFs are a small proportion, the 3 for 2s also represent less value compared to BOGOFs, if the individual price is the same (and we know individual prices are often inflated so as to be the same price each but requiring us to buy more to get that), 3 for 2s being about a 66% charge per item rather than 50%.

You have to hand it to the retailers and manufacturers - they are doing us a favour reducing pack sizes and ending promotions so that we don't waste any ... nothing at all to do with them hiding price rises/the real cost of inflation and maintaining profit margins ...
