I think that there is a sign of greed on the part of Tesco.

I never shop in Tesco as they are too expensive. I can get much of the stuff that l want to buy in other chains.

Unilever has already said that, its not the price on the shelf - its Tesco. Unilever said they wants to 'wholesale price'

Its like a car - the manufacturer sells to the dealer for 20 grand. And the dealer puts his price on it. Simple

Unilever and Tesco have just agreed a deal according to BBC news at 6.

Thanks for the info.

Re: Damn cheek by supermarket chains
 

Or as according to another article (think it's on the BBC), Tesco didn't want to be the first retailer to pass on increased costs to the consumer and blame it on 'brexit' which ultimately will lead to the floodgates opening.

Competitive things supermarket price wars.

Of course this could be a falsehood by an organisation that is a frustrated remainer. Expect plenty more of this rubbish.

The Dutch boss of Unilever actually told his workers to vote against leaving the EU.

Ah well, back to work in the Welsh Pot Noodle mines ....

Re: Damn cheek by supermarket chains
 

Regardless of the reasoning, there will be price increases, it will be blamed on "Brexit' , and we will all pay the increased costs.

Businesses aren't going to lose out

I don't think those who are already struggling will find this (if and when it happens) rubbish, do you?

Nothing like a bout of sour grapes.

Prefer the Cornish clotted cream mines.:D

Re: Damn cheek by supermarket chains
 

mmm cornish clotted cream !!! Now you're talking

BUT cream and then jam, or jam and then cream? I can never remember which one is Devon and which is Cornwall !!!

Re: Damn cheek by supermarket chains
 

Cornish: Butter, jam, cream. Enjoy!

Re: Damn cheek by supermarket chains
 

You've just taken me back to the little cafe in Tintagel (sp?) high street where you get proper home made lemonade and the most scone, jam & cream !!

Bloody craving one now mind !!!!

Re: Damn cheek by supermarket chains
 

Regardless of the motives, there'll be more of this to come just as has happened, for example, when oil prices have gone through the roof in the past. It's nothing new but we'll all be looking for equivalent price reductions from the companies concerned when Sterling bounces back and be able to draw our own conclusions if they're not forthcoming.

Fuel prices gone up by Esso today by 2 pence... bloody joke.

Re: Damn cheek by supermarket chains
 

Seeing l am from Devon the tradition is to put cream on the scone, followed by jam.:)
