Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop

I am loyal to tesco for one simple reason.

They the only one out of the big 3 that give me good dates on delivered goods, allow to reject poor dates, and come early on time.

Asda was awful, I could order bread and it would come with 1-2 days life left on it, rock hard, whilst tesco eg. will have a week or so on it.

Sainsburies were ok until they had that big publicised farce where many people didnt get their orders (me included).

Tesco however have been increasing their prices a LOT lately, I keep track and the stuff I buy overall has gone up 36% in the past 6 months (over 6% inflation a month). However last week some stuff for the first time in over a year went down in price. (typically the same time I cant eat much due to tooth extraction).

In store is many offers, but online most offers arent available. There is always some of course, but generally its higher priced stuff and bulk discounts.

Tesco did make an error one week (and quite possibly more) where they were not applying discounts. That particular week they had to refund me £9. Problem is I cant back check as past expired offers data is gone.
