Too right.
What does the shape matter anyway if it's going into a fruit drink or soup ?
The amount of waste in this country is truly scandalous considering those in need of a few crumbs in this world, just to keep themselves alive.

If they offered a smaller range of products like the German hard discounters (ie Lidl & Aldi) there would be less stuff to skip. Seemingly some people don't mind paying the price in their shopping bill for the huge "choice" that gets thrown awayOriginally Posted by grahamw48

It was only yesterday afternoon at Waitrose
Tasty seasonal snacks on offer at 3 for the price of 2
Quite a few were reduced to £1.50 from the original price £4.99 (short dated)
I bought 3 which I thought would cost me £4.50
Nooooo
The computer/till took £4.99 off for the free one.
Means waitrose actually paid me 49p to enjoy them. I went back to get some more but none left on reduced price.
They tasted so so good.
even HP dothings

i didn't get one for £89, had to pay £100 for it, as work managed to get about 10 for £89 each
Mps have probably got shares in these big supermarkets.?????.
Labour have got Lord Sainsbury and his chum Shaun Woodward MP (he's the one who used to sit next to Bottler Brown grinning inanely and nodding his head). Scouser Leahy ex Head Honcho of Tesco was Labour but I think he saw the writng was on the wall and wriggled his way into some sort of advisory role with the Tories
Court adjouned.
I was watching Asda's new Xmas TV ad' with a wry smile today.
Of course any fines payable would be added on to our shopping bills, so bit of a stalemate there.
Criminally prosecuting and jailing some of the fat cats at the top would however be a much better deterrent.
Did we ever doubt it ?
I didn't....im sure Tesco's aren't the only ones doing this.Did we ever doubt it ?
I think they've got the copyright - Watchdog don't ever show any similar viewers pics taken in other Stores.
Tesco - every rip off helps
But not Tesco Value G
Careful guys, we might already be marked men .

Tesco just can't stop the deceptive practices
For Christmas shoppers watching their pennies, the offer of a half-price frozen turkey sounds too good to miss.
Unfortunately, Tesco’s heavily promoted deal is not all that it seems.
Rival supermarkets are selling their own frozen turkeys for around the same price – without the supposed 50 per cent discount.

Tesco.... I won't do our main food shop anywhere else.
Its up to the consumer not to pay any attention to the flowery words and to take the time to do some simple arithmetic while loading your push cart...see, you'll be exercising your grey matter at the same time.
Me too.
I'm pretty much impervious to all marketing....miserable git that I am.
farm foods, aldi, pak shop come on, save you all loads of cash,beleive me
In there Swindon stores they just dont stock the same variety as Tesco's...yes, we would save money...the downside being, spending precious time and fuel chasing around getting what we couldn't get at the stores you've mentioned.
You don't really have to chase round but grab stuff if you're passing whipped into a Farm Foods today - out in 10mins £20 lighter would probably have cost at least 50% more in Tesco. No queue at check out, free parking. As I said before you're paying through the nose for Tesco's massive and ostentatious choice, tonnes of which ends up in landfill.
Farmfoods is actually closer to me than Tesco ( I can almost see both from my house). Only been there once before, but might give it a look again.
Theres a fair bit of unhealthy crap there but also decent buys if you pick & chooseFarmfoods is actually closer to me than Tesco ( I can almost see both from my house). Only been there once before, but might give it a look again.
My tuppence worth ....
Took my son down to Gatwick Airport this morning.
Arrived in short-term car park at 07.37, departed car park at 08.10.
... and those 33mins cost me
£5.60 !!!!!!
No man is an island, but Barry is
"TESCO don’t deserve to be in business if they don’t even respond to letters, said Castletown Commissioners’ chairman Jerry Ludford-Brooks this week.
The local authority has twice written to the supermarket giant requesting a meeting – first when there were rumours a Tesco Express would open in the town’s Callow’s Yard development and a second time after the rumour was confirmed"
http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/distr...ting_1_4043575
Sounds like sour grapes from the Local Authority who might now be regretting giving Tesco planning permission
They're a bunch of mugs
"Commissioner Alwyn Collister said: ‘I still think it’s the wrong place. It was never envisaged this would happen. If someone tried to get planning permission for a store like this they would not get it.’
I dont think Tesco applied for planning permission....thats part of the big debate.
Castletown, Isle of Man
Tesco is planning to open a second store in the island. Concerns have been expressed about the impact of the new store on the town’s existing retailers and the scheme has come under fire from the chairman of the town’s commissioners.
"Tesco has confirmed it has signed a 20-year lease to open an Express outlet at the Callow’s Yard development in Castletown. Work is already underway to remove four existing shops at the Malew Street entrance to provide space for the 5,000 square feet convenience store. No planning consent was needed for the interior works which he expected to be completed by mid-December with the shopfitters coming in during January. For further information please see an article in iomtoday, 5th November 2011."

It says this :-
The department’s director of highways, Richard Pearson, confirmed the development has planning permission for retail use.
Might be some sort of outline permission
Yes. I think it was permission for retail stores in general but not specifically Tescos or a Tesco Express.
