Me and Sainsbury's are done. Just spent £50 on almost nothing, and they had the cheek to give me a voucher saying they've charged me £5 more than any other supermarket would (I can't believe I'd have spent more than £30 on the same shop at Asda.

Me and Tesco's were finished ages ago.

I'm running out of places to go :(

It's the booze that adds up

Don't drink, so no booze. It's just their rip off prices which add up.

Have you considered looking at the price of something before deciding whether to buy it?

As SB says need to be smart.

Customers have the upperhand now.especially at Tesco.due to the pressure from Aldi & Lidl,just need to make yourself heard.

Had a 15 min moan with the under manger at my local Tesco,and after he said he agreed with everything I said. He said to my amazement he could reduce anything if required.

I told him when I leave here I was off to Morrisons to buy a years supply of teabags as they were usually cheaper. He said what do you want then.(240 pg tips) cost £5.25
He said how many do you want,5 I said. he would let me have them for £3. I replied,no.£2.80..Ok.

Working on a 30 Bottle wine deal.he said give me a month to source it.

If you dont ask you dont get.

£3 is a deal Laugh

lol well i have bought quorn when its not on offer, but thats cos i wanted some.

stuff like plenty towel thingies, andrex and persil washing tabs can vary a lot week to week. im sure they can be had cheaper elsewhere, but at sainsburglars the persil tabs are usually 9 quid for 35...sometimes theyre on offer for 6 or 7 quid so when they are i buy loads of em. enough to last 6 months. i quit asda online after a big row with them, so im pretty much stuffed for online options. just try to not get ripped off as much as sainsburglars usually do!

£3 is indeed a good price.Had to stamp my authority/control over him.

He's in my back pocket now.Of course after all the praise I smothered him in that 15min chat, what else could he do.

Build em up,then hit em with the killer punch.

persil tabs are usually 9 quid for 35

jeez .. just buy a box of powder & some nice softener instead , clothes prob wash better too !

you still lookin for a house Confused

i am but im having a few crisiseses at the moment so its on hold.

cba to p1ss about like that. just take a liquid tab thing out the box, bung it in with the clothes and press the on button! dont care about things getting clean cos my clothes never get dirty. the gentler the better for me.
Report Mc Moonbeam • June 8, 2014 8:50 PM BST
I've got some of the Bold Liquid that you just shove in the cup in the machine , it's good enough but prefer powder (£6) & softener (£1)

only ever use fast wash anywayz

they're hyping the housing market up rotten , imo

i think it will rise , but still bargains to be had if you bid wisely

I got barred from Asda about 18 mths ago.

1st incident was about 7.30am. got a basket full.go to check out.only one open,and of course the convey belt is full up.a couple of other people looking perplexed,said to this bloke..I know we'll go to the counter near the exit.good if only got a couple of items...doesn't open till 8am....now seeing a Red Alert (patience level no more than 2/10)

Back at the checkout still ****g about with cards and cashback ****.so start effing and blinding out loud on purpose. some fat thing comes into my space(about 2ft away) and says,have you got some sort of problem sir..Reply.have I got a problem.yes,and you know what you can do with all this,and proceeded to empty it all over the place on the next checkout.and stormed out.

2nd and final..Another fat lump comes up close and warns me not to overstep a line at the side of the fish counter,due to health and safety (patience now on Zero) so I politely told her.why dont you just fck off.

Got pulled on exit about my conduct,and told to fck off.

Moral of the story.Dont let them treat you like a mug.they need us...done me a long term favour in reality.

I was my local Tesco store today and a couple of the managers were having a right laugh...something about a load of 'out-of-life' teabags. Apparently, they were gonna give them away to the local food bank but some geezer insisted on buying 'em. Took several boxes of them by the sounds of it! Grin

i stopped going in tescos when i realised how much better sainsburglars is. its a rip off, but not such a miserable experience as going in tesco is. every time i went in tesco there were boxes all over the aisles and staff constantly restocking them. it was like tackling an assault course. despite this, half the shelves were always empty. go figure.

Sainsburys always seem to whack up their prices just after Christmas/New Year - just when everybody's finances are tight.

This year I've been doing about half my shopping in Lidl Wink
