The conveniance does have a cost. As does the low price offered by Tescos. Simply that most areas (not all, admittedly) will have at least one conveniance store that is at least open late. People's nearest tescos (even express) may well be several miles away. So, they need to factor in the costs involved in getting to/from the store.
Unless that Tescos is in walking distance, the extra costs involved in getting there could dwarf the saving.

Don't buy BOGOF offers then. If you aren't going to eat the free bread, you aren't really making a saving.
