RE: Tesco Again
Speaking purely as a consumer I do feel that Tesco have lost their edge recently. Their pricing seems to be all over the place and you have to be very on top of this as you might just get overcharged. It used to be that buying larger packets/jars/boxes of stuff worked out cheaper - not any more if my experience is anything to go by. Carefully read the price label is my advice. The range of choice has deteriorated also and the quality of the own brand items has become a no go area for me.
So now I go elsewhere - cheaper, more choice and more pleasant surroundings.

RE: Tesco Again
Majority of super markets have empty shelves, not sure if its lack of deliveries or cutting back on staff

we use other supermarkets during the month, and i havent seen empty shelves in those to the same extent, Lidl's dosent usually have an empty shelf ANYWHERE, in fact there is extra stuff piled up in the aisles sometimes!

We don't use supermarkets any more. There's a butchers round the corner from us, and a greengrocers over the road from the butchers. All the meat and veg we require for one week cost us less that £40. Had we gone to the "super" market it would have been double that. And flown in from some shithole of a country.
We also have a very good farm shop on the outskirts of southampton, who also deliver. You can buy almost everything that you'd buy from a supermarket (food wise, they don't sell cheap TVs) and it's much better quality (which, let's face it, wouldn't be difficult.)

yeah BM, we DONT buy meat from Supermarkets, havent for years, most of our veg we buy at the local weekly market, but we have to go to the supermarkets to buy our tins.

Yup, that's a real PITA. I've got a good few months of tins stashed away and rat packs etc, I'm going to knock those on the head for now and concentrate on getting the new garden sorted out for planting instead.

Although approved foods do have some decent offers on now and then, just need to wait for it to be worth paying their postage costs (and wait for the lazy buggers to bother to send your stuff out. 13 days for our last order from paying to having the goods delivered!)

RE: Tesco Again
i prefer buying mine in person, i get to choose what i want and i can make sure i dont get any dented ones either, we dont buy lots of tins, just enough to replace what we've used from stores and maybe a few extra just to increase the stocks. we buy UHT milk, enough to last us a month plus i have an emergency stock as well, bought 16 cartons this morning!
