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

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.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
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.

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?

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!

They said that it is so that they are able to offer the price drop?
Quote:
You may have heard from us already, but as a Clubcard customer we wanted to let you know about some important news.
We're always listening to what our customers have to say and right now, what we're hearing is that they need a little help with their weekly shop because household budgets are under pressure.
So, to help our customers cut the cost of living, we're helping them cut the price of their shopping. The Big Price Drop will cut the price of over 3,000 products, including loads of everyday essentials which customers buy all the time.
To help us deliver the lowest prices we can, we'll be going back to giving you one Clubcard point per pound spent from 24 October 2011. Every penny we save from this change will go into the Big Price Drop, but we're also going to help you get even more value from your vouchers...
