Sorry - that's total fantasy! Do you work for Tesco perhaps?
Not really. The recent Tesco budget brands are certainly comparative.

The only fact in that is that Tesco offers a bigger range. Your suggestion that its products are of 'better quality' is, frankly, laughable.0 -

Think you misread, I stated the range was a fact. Price and quality is other people's opinion. Shame you can't respect other people's opinion.0 -

Price isn't a matter of opinion. Come to that, neither is quality. .0 -
Indeed and youve proven neither.
But back on topic many millions prefer to shop at Tesco and this will make it cheaper0 -
I shall reserve judgement until the full details are released and then crunch the numbers.
But Tesco won’t be doing this to benefit us, they’re doing it to boost their profits, so there’s bound to be a catch somewhere.
Maybe they’ll shrink items in their own brand and charge the same price, put 1p on every item in store. Maybe they’ll cut the rewards on the standard Clubcard to 1point for every £4 spent, it’s already gone from 1 point for every £1 spent to 1 point for every £2 spent.
There is only one thing guaranteed and that is there will be a catch hidden somewhere in the small print0 -
Seems an awful lot of money for precious little return.
And why pay Tesco £7.99 a month for a 10% discount that still leaves it around 15-20% more expensive than Aldi and Lidl across the average basket of groceries? Particularly when the quality of its own brands are no better - in fact arguably worse.
It doesnt. Aldi is only about 10% cheaper on average & own brands its swings & roundabouts. Some better, some worse.
For example 15 eggs.
Tesco - £1.19 (1p cashback with clubcard)
Aldi - £1.180 -

When did this happen?
Im still getting 1 point per £10 -

I have no idea where you get that 10% from. Eggs are a very poor example - even Sainsbury's and Waitrose know that you price eggs as low as possible because people use that price as a yardstick.
A quick trip to Google will reveal the countless comparisons that have shown Aldi is usually (not always) the cheapest in the UK.
But just as our own dear government manipulates its 'typical shopping basket' to skew the inflation figures the way it wants, a lot depends on what you elect to buy.
With my own shopping I know for certain that the savings I make from picking Aldi over Tesco (which came 5th in the Which? Feb 2019 comparison that didn't even include Aldi and Lidl!) is in the region of 20% on a equal quality for price shop.0 -
