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
My maths is not good, but the number of replies to "Tesco - Rip Off", "Standards of Service" and "Curry's Electrical" (115 so far) is fast approaching the total for the "Celebration" threads (127) - must be significant !

Tesco have priced products at £1 with a sign next to them saying buy 2 for only £2 ...
just look at the companies profits to see whos ripping you of the most.. you could start with Barclays.. also take in to account thier cash flow and turn over
what i always do when i shop is compare prizes based on weight or per piece i.e. how much per gram or per liter... works for me though but the thing is, it takes me longer to shop now as i also check the label (nutritional facts) as well as doing the maths.. lol
Is it me or are Easter eggs another example of rip off. If you turn up after easter they are all half-price anyways and keep them till next year
It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.
Fresh water ... sorry but thats not what they use...."Some of the processing companies also used beef and pork proteins to hold in the water."
"Manufacturers have also been criticised for adding hydrolysed chicken protein, which is extracted from parts of the bird not used for food, such as skin, bone, and feathers. "
Mmmmmm tasty
Why are the men on this thread talking about shopping? What happened to football?
Al.
Pressed rat and warthog closed down their shop!
Tesco must be doing not too badly profit-wise ... when a place the size of Perth [population around the 50,000 mark] has three branches - two superstores (one open round the clock) the other *from 7am till 10pm and a 'metro' with *similar trading hours.
Tesco probably hadnt seen the words Aberystwyth and Major in the same sentence befor

I always go round and check the labels, for me its a good system those in a hurry or cant be bother subdise us people who take a while to check the suppermarkets and work out the best offers
Any way i thought the majority on here always moaning how it seems no one younger than them can do the 3 r's anymore...
The supermarkets give you some free brain training and your not happy
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
I recently saw in Tesco breakfast cereal £1.96 for 1 and buy 2 for £4! How stupid do they think we are?
Funnily enough Daryl Lynn has just applied for a job there checking the prices!
I bought 1 bag of lettuce there recently. "Do you want a bag?" "No, it's already in one Duh!"
You walk into the petrol station to buy a chocolate bar. Pick up the bar and offer it to the checkout person with the correct money. "Any petrol?" they ask.
Stock answers are...
1. What?, for 50p?
2. No thanks, kind of you to offer but what am I supposed to carry it in?
3. What for? I walked here!
The only cheap food left in the UK is the Indian microwave meals, tiny bits of meat in a stodgy sauce with a few grains of rice, wouldn't fill a kitten up
I buy all my meat from a local farm shop/butcher. Everything he sells is from his own amimals and the price is @ 30% cheaper than the supermarkets yet the quality is far, far superior. For my everyday shopping I use ASDA which is the cheapest for basics and tinned goods. My only gripe about them is the fish counter is never manned so you have to go find someone. Oh, and their pizzas and curries are great.
I've seen numerous examples of bigger packs = less value , thankfully my mobile has a calculator function so I can easily check and do so often.
I remember going around the large supermarket attached to SM Mall of Asia.....I think it's Robinsons but i'm sure someone here will correct me if i'm wrong and my baby was bought ONE mangostein from the counter and no fuss whereas here 90% of the time you have to buy fruit in multipack punnets. Sigh, cant wait to live there .....unfortunately, my baby cant wait to live here .
