Tesco "to be more competitive"

I am fully aware of the issues surrounding free range. However that doesn't mean I am going to stop buying free range. I buy eggs because of the ideology that some day hens will be more free range with less restrictions on them and penalties for farmers that try to beat the system.

When your eggs scan through the till it identifies what you have bought e.g. Happy Hen eggs or morrisons own etc. The more demand for free range as an ideology the better. If people are buying free range there is more pressure on farmers and animal welfare officers to ensure they meet standards. Now those standards are pretty low at the moment but over time with increased demand the standards should be forced to rise.

So whilst you wait for that Utopia, they are charging you a very good premium without much change for a basic product.

As a business, they will be around longer than you will be alive.

Banks have lost billions but are still around.

Would suggest you do a bit of Goggling and learn the understanding of how business works.

Should we start by googling "woolworths"?

Just paid £2.60 for a tube of toothpaste in Tesco's. (Arm & Hammer White sensitive 75ml). The identical toothpaste, also 75cl (I found later) in Pound shop for £1. :mad:

Well, either Tesco's are charging too much or the Pound shop is selling too cheap. I wonder which of these is true??? Well not really, we all know the truth.

There seems to a fundamental misunderstanding of pricing amongst certain posters on this thread.

Since the abolition of resale price maintenance there is no such thing as a 'correct' price.

Obviously any individual can decide that a certain price is 'too much', but that is just a matter of opinion.

In this instance it's pretty clear that the pound shop are selling a lot of this toothpaste that they obtained cheaply for one reason or another. If you go back in a month, or try a pound shop in another part of the country it's unlikely that you'll find the same offer.

And eggs (and chicks) are still a bit dubious because of salmonella so are organic 'Better?' With a couple of rashers on a toasted roll the digestive system doesn't discriminate beyond the taste of paradise. :cool:
