Tesco "to be more competitive"

Pond scum huh? That kind of reaffirms me not wanting to go to Waitrose. Particularly if its full of upper class snobs who spend all day roaming around the supermarket looking down on everyone else as if they are some kind of royalty.

It must be particularly expensive if its only good enough for such snobbery.

People who go to Waitrose are not 'upper class.' :rotfl: They may think they are, but they're not. I know a number of people who go who are just 'upper working class;' £300K mortgage, everything on finance, £3K holidays that that they ramble on about and tell everyone the cost! I other words, people who think they're something they're not.

Our local Tesco is a superstore & I get ALL my weekly shopping in it. I noticed several weeks ago that each week without fail I'm getting a 'COULD have saved £xxx', instead of the more often than not 'you HAVE saved' voucher.

It doesn't particularly bother me as I obviously just get the 'could have' voucher knocked off the following weeks shop, but it does emphasise for me that Tesco isn't as competitive as it once was if you are more of a butterfly shopper & not making use of the reimbursement vouchers.

We have also noticed the last two weeks we have had the 'could have saved' message whereas we had been getting the 'you have saved' message. Our shopping hasn't varied.

Last week they were back to their 3 for the price of 2 offers- two of us can't use three large cauliflowers.May be oka for a large family but not for two pensioners.

No wonder our Lidl has doubled the size of its store and has four tills open now , instead of the one previously.

I gave up caring about other peoples choices some time ago - It does not matter to me if people want to shop at Tesco, Aldi or the Quickie Mart, nor does it matter to me if they are happy to pay double for something to what they might have paid - maybe it doesn't matter to them. It only really matters to me what choices I make - I can't be responsible for other peoples choices, nor do they want me to be.
