Last time I was in Tesco I bought 7 of their Hudl tablets & 4 of Google's Nexus 7 tablets ::)

On Uncle Rupert's credit card no doubt ::)

....
At Aldi and Lidi shopping is scanned through very very quickly compared to Tesco because  ....

They can only scan as fast as I can pack. I've had cashiers blindly scanning stuff though the till paying no attention to how many goods are still waiting for me to pack. I've stopping packing before now letting it build up to the extent that they can't pass any more items to me and asked if we are in a race, & if we are, I'll let them 'win' every time.  ::)

A girl at an Aldi checkout once told me that they are instructed to go fast, they actually have time targets. I do the same, let them win  :y

Having been unemployed since January I really do take note of the prices. For me Tesco is my most local and as it's out of town compared to the asda and Aldi it is the one I use most. Plus, not wanting to start a race row here, but the Boston asda is, I would say, 70% foreigners. They shop like they drive, incredibly arrogantly and are quite happy to bump you out of the way. 

But it's getting ridiculous how they are doubling their prices seemingly overnight.

How can they justify their cheapest squash is now 52p a small (double strength) bottle. This was 23p only a few months ago. Same goes for their cheap baby wipes, 26p jumped to 65p.

And that double strength squash thing is something that's wound me up. They are using less ingredients, less packaging, less transportation costs, less space needed on the shelves so more product able to be sold, plus I bet they sell more as most of us have spent years putting a given amount into a glass and it's not something you just change when your on auto pilot, but have they reduced their prices, have they balls! If anything they've gone up!!!!

But I like millions of others will just roll over and take it, and go deaf when the 6 o'clock news announces a quarterly profit increase into he billions!

You wanna try the Tesco expresses  ;D Their prices are even worse....

One example i can think of now....jar of coffee in tesco extra compared with tesco express....twice the price in tesco express   :(

Tho i rarely goto tesco's .....mainly use a local co-op......local butchers and local dairy  :y

Their building a shiny big Waitrose near me.....be interesting to see their prices when it opens  :-\

Don't like Tesco at all. Usually overpriced, which is how I figure they give customers club card points or whatever. Plus their petrol is also overpriced.

I use ASDA and Costco. ASDA petrol/LPG is usually the cheapest in the region.

I came across a cracker a few weeks ago, those little packets of cereal toppers, on the shelf at 20p each.... With a label right next to them saying 3 for £1   
God loves a tryer !!;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

ASDA guarantee to be the cheapest in town, or they give you a free car or something. :-\

Cant stand Tescos. So shop there every week and use all sorts of vouchers etc. to knock a load of dosh off the bill.  :)
£5 off a £40 spend ?  Buy 3 lots of £40 and get£15 off,and that's just for starters. ;D

I've recently been using Aldi and can't fault it, saved about £30 on a weekly shop and the quality is spot on :y
