    Arrow Tesco - jam tomorrow?

    One word leaps out of Philip Clarke's statement in Tesco's annual results - "sharper". He is talking about pricing but he is careful not to use the word "lower".

    .....A chilling statistic from a Retail Week survey yesterday was that 45% of 2,000 adults questioned thought that Tesco's prices had gone up in the last year.

    Only 13% thought they had come down. Aldi and Lidl are likely to be laughing up their collective, nicely tailored German sleeves at that answer.

    The question investors will be asking is "has Philip Clarke grasped the nettle" on the fundamentally changing retail market?...

    I've discovered today that their 'supersoft' tissues are not very soft......so complaints from my wife drove me to return to Waitrose to get replacements.

    The great Tesco 'Big Price Drop' rip-off: Supermarket pushed prices UP weeks before its £500m cost-cutting campaign

    Personally I like shopping at Morrisons, don't get me wrong I find some of their prices quite expensive compared to same products at pound shops so the reason I hit Morrissons is the BOGOF offers especially on the products we use most and can be stored and kept for a long time, like Tesco says "Every little helps"...

    I agree. Tesco are a bunch of rip-off con-artists with their (ever-increasing) prices, and I might add, displaying the usual modern-day totally cynical attitude towards customers...who are now merely people to be manipulated, bamboozled and have money extracted from without care or conscience.

    How about some 'fuel discount' for those of us who are helping the environment by cycling there ? !

    It's the world's third largest supermarket group, with stores in 12 countries. More than 27 million people outside the UK have a Tesco Clubcard.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23988795

    Overloaded Tesco car parks I see 5 days of the week across the country dont tell lies.
    The 2000 surveyed is hardly comprehensive.

    Like Moyes, the jury is still out on Mr Clarke.
    Nobody is forced to shop at Tesco, in fact most if not all come voluntarily

    We also shop regularly at Morrisons since it's the nearest in our place (there's Lidl too but Keith doesn't want to shop there, only if we have not seen what we want in Morrisons, which is very rarely though). But what makes us shop at Morrisons most of the time is because our guinea pigs seem to prefer the fresh veggies there. We do sometimes shop at Asda and Tesco but the veggies most of the times get wasted because the guinea pigs would not eat them and end up spoiling! I always wonder why! Plus Morrisons will always have portions of melons which I can't seem to get from Tesco and Asda. We prefer buying butter scones from Tesco though and go to Asda for small cans of Pepsi and Schweppes ginger ale and lemonade because it's usually cheaper there (per box).

    Well, after living in this town since 1967, I've just had a look on google maps to see where my nearest Aldi store is.

    Quite a long way away, BUT on the route of the FREE bus that stops outside my house.

    Also, just about within reasonable cycling distance.

    Thank you Graham

    Convenience is the watch word here. I'll be buggered if I'll drive out of my way at considerable expense to spite my nose. We are loyal to ourselves. We shop where we shop coz it suits us.

    It just so happens Tesco stores are almost always handy wherever you are. This talk of saturation is absolutely nonsense. Also the talk of percentages is of equal rubbish. I'd rather pick up Tesco's supposed 66% profits than 100% of those 3rd division outfits.

    I'm not knocking those little guys, we need them for competition

    Price comparisons? Rip off Tesco? How about the 'price promise' what's going on? If you felt you were getting a raw deal, the 'price promise' would of rectified it.

    You know people like me are too idle (or too blind to read ) all this price-matching stuff Mark.

    Best thing about Tesco, is that it is just up the road.
