Tesco’s Big Price Drop
So apparently Tesco are going to be lowering their prices from Monday on everyday products such as Milk, Bread and Fruit and veg, in total i think around 3,000 products will be lowered, in total around £500million in cuts but at the same time they will be scrapping their clubcard double points offer, i think i read this will save them around £350 million.
Not sure how well this will go down, for me i stayed loyal to Tesco due to clubcard double points, gona watch my bill for the next month, and if worse off may switch to Asda to save a few pennies
what about everyone else?

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
l will shop where l canl get good quality stuff at a reasonable price and Tesco's round our way is quite dear and many items are always out of stock therefore l tend to shop in Morrisons and Sainsbury's.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
I liked the response from Sainsbury's....

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson says: “This is classic smoke and mirrors from Tesco, giving with one hand and taking with the other. Removing double Clubcard points will save Tesco £350 million.”

I always thought that the clubcard scheme was a bit of a sham.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
won't make any difference to me. I shop at Tesco as it's near to me. If I were to shop elsewhere I'd spend whatever I saved on the increased fuel costs.
I just wish that if any supermarket is going to do offers on perishable foods they wouldn't do BOGOF types as that is just wasteful when I'm not going to get through both items before one expires.

I never shop at tesco or asda (far too expensive),used to shop at Morrison untill they hiked all their prices up .We use Farmfoods ,much cheaper and because they are chiefly a freezer shop excellant for topping up the freezer .The problem with Tesco and Asda is many people only use those supermarkets and so don't realize that there are much cheaper places to go

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
I shop at Tesco as its Convenient. Asda refuses to deliver to my flat and dumps all the bags at the maindoor of the building and i have to try and carry them then to the lift and then up 4 floors and then to my flat. Tesco will bring them into the building, up in the lift in the trolly and deliver to my actual flat door.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
We'll stick with Sainsburys for the main fortnightly shop and Waitrose for additional bits here regardless of the price changes. Tesco Express will of course remain useful on occasion for tiny top ups when away from home!
Not a huge fan of Tesco, the way they treat their smaller, independent suppliers is pretty harsh.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
Sainsburys and Waitrose appear to be the overall most expensive supermarkets.
Anyway, only noticed few changes so far, milk is no longer 3 for £3 and being charged at £1.49 each, but may be rounded down to £1 from monday and the baker soft bread i usually buy is no longer 2 for £1.80 and has gone up from £1.00 each to £1.05.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
Well we've been shopping at Tesco for 35+ years, and only use Sainsbury/Asda for a top up of bread or milk.
Plus I get my Diesel from them and use the points for extras at christmas.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
Never use Tescos after they built a new store & increased the prices. Asda & Morrisons, with the occasional visit to Sainsburys for my fuel.

Re: Tesco’s Big Price Drop
It is a very good con trick by Tesco, Its the most expensive shop between the big chains.
I found to my horror what they do, is reduce prices on certain goods, but increase other goods, and hope the customer doesn't notice.
Last year, they did a certain price slash, and founf that non alcohol beer l buy is £1.49 for four, after the price slash it was £2.49, I complained to head office and they had the cheek to say it was NEW stock.
My wife prefers Asda, its cheaper, but if you shop around, it gets even cheaper
