Tesco - Rip off

[IainBusby]

A few people people have told me recently to look out for how larger packs don't always represent best price per unit in the supermarkets

Here is some sharp practice by Tesco

Bold Liquitabs (Detergent sachets)

12 £3.88 = £0.323 per sachet
20 £6.86 = £0.343 per sachet

- not special offers these are side by side normal shelf edge prices

Rip off Britain

Customer Service girl just shrugged her shoulders and gave an inane grin when I pointed it out

It is a rip off/sharp practice because Joe Public operates on the assumption that bigger packs = better value, bulk buying

They even sneakily fudge the simple maths - small pack is 12 bigger pack is 20 - not 12's & 24's or 10's & 20's

They are all as slippery as each other.

The Hard Discounters have a lot going for them Aldi's quality is top class IMHO - Tesco are running scared of them hence their introduction a year or so ago of so called "Discount Brands" which in effect are Tesco own label with soppy names like "Daisy" and "Country Harvest"

I'm sure if you read very carefully between the lines, somewhere in the Daily Mail, your bound to find something that says it's all because of Gordon Brown's policies or that it's all part of a dastardly labour plot.

The major supermarkets have long enjoyed a close relationship with New Labour. Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy was given a knighthood by Tony Blair and was a dinner guest at Chequers after his company bailed out the struggling Millennium Dome with a £12m donation.

He obviously knows what side his bread will soon be buttered on as he recently started criticizing Labours "woefully low educational standards". Watch this space for news of Lord Leahy of Scouseland
