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

Who would have thought it eh?

These big companies at times behave nothing more then crooks and robbers half the time.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

I can back this up.

I am seeing prices drop now but what I am noticing is they have gone back to what they were in feb 2011.

eg. the meal for ones back to £1 each. same price as feb 2011, they went up to £1.30 each 30% increase so all they have done now is been reverted.

Clever games by tesco.

A comment on the daily mail page with the exact same thing that happened to me.

To rehash.

Discounts on order page for online shop.
Shopping delivered but no discounts applied to actual order.

I have been checking every order since I caught them 5 weeks back and they been ok, but I was unable to check previous orders as obviously I dont have old special offer data so I could have been overpaying for months.

Watch out for "unit" costs too, smaller packs, less expensive mix, lower quality and so on.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

My dad was telling me a few days ago about a story on the local radio regarding tesco

A Few people who live far out of town get together once a month and go into town and do a mass shop pay for it all together and sort out the cost then when they get home.

They did the shop as usual and tesco wanted to charge them over £19 for carrier bags at which point they said to hell with u and walked out.

Apparently Morrisons are giving away reusuable bags free if u spend over a certain ammount.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

indeed, although I find it a more common tactic that they keep the packaging the same size but just reduce the contents.

I guess thats the one blessing of the online shop ripoff, we online customers still dont get charged for the bags although could be argued its inclusive on the delivery fee.

I see asdas £5 voucher if you spend £40, shows a lot whats wrong with the supermarkets at the moment, offers catered for families only as not many sinlle people will be spending £40 a week on food. Well I dont anyway.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

Stuff like fruit & veg will vary anyway. Were the items with lower prices on special offer at the time and then that special offer period has ended?:rolleyes:

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

I'm surprised that anyone is being fooled into believing that Tesco or indeed any supermarket is going to just reduce prices .With careful pricing and packaging any shop can make it look like they are reducing prices on some items while actually making more money

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

Has anyone noticed Tesco's "improved" clubcard offers? Clubcards now earn half what they used to and what you can get for them has increased by 50%. This is being touted as better value!

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

They said that it is so that they are able to offer the price drop?

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
 

I used to enjoy the occasional 4 pack of Tennents Super but recently its gone up overnight from £6.34 to £7.53!!!!!! Outrageous:td::mad:
