Aldi and Lidl will each save you at least 30% against the branded equivalents at Tesco, and the quality's every bit as good - in many cases made to the same specification by the same producers.
Either he really is on the side of the customer -which call me cynical here but I struggle to believe any retail worker is on the side of the customer above that of their own, or he has contacts and has managed to portray Tesco as the supermarket primarily for the customer over and above that of their own profit.
Hmmmmm....
I suspect it will be while stocks last though
now the shoe is on the other foot they dont like it. so try to hike up prices to bolster their coffers!
no thanks!
dont really use many unilver brands anyway. the only one i can think of was Lynx antiperspirant which i had used since my teens (im 35 now). always tried to buy it when it was on special offer. but in the last 12 months those offers have almost dried up.
funnily enough i tried another new brand on the market that has been selling their bigger cans for less than i used to pay for lynx. and its a much better product!
bye bye unilever!
Well that was a bit of a wild goose chase !
All sold out - or perhaps a clever marketing trick .:undecided
Hardly anybody managed to get one, but the Mail did manage to sell a lot of extra papers.
Marketing trick is a nice way of putting it. I'd call it a blatant con.
