Don't do your food shopping until Monday!
Tesco is rumoured to be about to launch a massive price cutting campaign the likes we have never seen before this Monday coming.
Managers have been briefed and all leave has been cancelled as all staff are to be on hand over the weekend to get the shelves and promotions ready.
It is thought that Tesco will abandon all the buy 4 for 3 type offers for a straight price reduction in a desperate attempt to compete with LIDL's and ALDI who sell great quality at very low prices without frills.
Dip Yer Bread!

Tesco stuff is pretty good actually, I just dislike going in there because the class of customer is very low rent...people with bad manners, personal hygiene problems, very fat people, blokes with shirts off etc

Tescos is good around here, the chav cess pits are Asda and Morrisons, the latter being the worst by far. I shudder every time I have to set foot in the place.

Tesco is for overpaid office types who have nothing better to do on an evening than walk round every isle looking for a bargain that dosn't exist ,but wont put a tesco branded product in there trolley for fear of being spotted by afriend /neighbour .
F*** Tesco lidl any day ! better still Morrisons.

All this price war stuff is of course absolute bollox, just another big marketing scam by the supermarkets.
I buy my meat,veg, eggs etc in our local village and can honestly say it is cheaper and much better than what you get in the supermarket.

Choice is dead unless you have time to drive 10 miles to get fruit and veg from one shop then another 5 miles to find a butcher!

Lidl is questionable...... I used to work with a lad who would bring in Lidl's own brand microwavable Chicken burger, except it wasn't.... it looked like a chicken burger and the packet just said "burger". On further investigation it was described as a "Poultry Burger" made up largely of Fat, ligaments, arteries and other fillers from non specific poultry.
For this reason alone I will never shop at Lidl.
Aldi on the other hand I find is quality, however the wife shops at Tesco

Things like chicken nuggets are even more vile.

Tesco are merely trimming the exorbitant margins they have enjoyed for years off some of their products.
the record profit and growth we keep hearing supermarkets are enjoying in evidence of such. That said, a reduction is very welcome and to be applauded.
As for comments about Lidl, I find their veg to be very fresh and far cheaper than the big brand supermarkets, in addition, their German sourced hams are of a very high standard.

Made me smile when my wife said all of the Sainsburys Basics stuff is normally sold out and their 'Taste the difference' stuff is left on the shelves.
Obviously people are being careful!
(Doesn't bother me if my cashews aren't perfectly whole and are then classed as 'Basics')
