I think it was 65p a few weeks ago, in Tesco, for a Blue Dragon sweet n sour sauce sachet...in the local Home Bargains shop it's 29p for the same size sachet, and the best before date is the same as Tesco...could list dozens of items...three Sharpie permanent markers £2.50 in Tesco...19p each in HB...is Tesco just PROFITEERING?

£783,000,000 is still a pretty decent profit imo, I wouldn't turn it down.

Tesco is finished. The public have got wise to the phony offers and marketing tricks.  The shops look tired now and they cant rid themselves of the enormous overheads they've acquired from trying to take over the world.

The one near us has got a roof on the car park and it's the nearest big supermarket.
They've got a fantastic range of stuff and a wet fish counter.
What I do object to are the professional beggars with their collecting tins who put the bite on you as soon as you enter the store.
I tell them to get out of my way, but I feel like telling them to go and f'off.

I don't like the chuggers though who try to stop you in the street and get you to sign up to monthly payments.
They can get lost.

Tesco don't make the Blue Dragon sauce. They sell it because their customers want it. Is that so difficult to understand? It is a one-stop shopping experience. If you don't like it go elsewhere but FFS stop f***ing moaning about it!
You're like a load of bloody washerwomen, you're always tutting about something that you don't do! Just don't shop there! AngryAngryCry

Home Bargains is a brilliant store. From time to time they have all manner of very much cheaper stuff, though I tend to avoid some of the stuff they have as standard. They manage it because they spend nothing on advertising.

I rarely venture into Tesco. It's been a money-making machine for years, opening new stores with money which would have otherwise had to be spent as tax, avoiding tax, squeezing local opposition out of business before increasing prices, squeezing smaller suppliers until they can no longer afford to supply anyone. SO many marketing lies too - like all the big supermarkets, with the 1/2 price (nearly always nearly doubled first), the end of aisle offers which aren't, and so on.

There's a (been open 4 years) Tesco express round the corner - open 6.30am - 11.30pm. Within 3 miles there are FOUR huge Tesco 24 hour supermarkets, so presumably the deliveries can be made en route to these. Yet the prices locally are massively more than in the bigger stores for the same items. There was a useful, reasonably priced corner shop and a newsagents just opposite, both now out of business.

For the record, they don't necessarily sell what their customers want, they sell what makes them the most money, what computers and marketers tell them people want - So basically top brands. The range in Waitrose is far greater and local shopkeepers would, given the chance, always buy and supply what customers want not tell them what to buy, which is what Tesco does.

I fecking hate Tesco.

49p for a big bag of English Maris Piper spuds - £2 in Tesco for the same weight of tasteless, watery Scottish spuds.

Greedy feckers trying to close everyone down  regardless of whether  the local store they put out of business was of true value to the community or not  .
