Tesco

[smurfchops]

So Tesco's not making as much money as it has in the past. Well I still go there and its always busy. Where do you get your food shopping and why ?

[boxtops]

Big Tesco near us, but the way they have dropped loads of their prices lately to compete with the other local supermarkets, I'm not surprised they are making less profit. I go there a couple of times a month, back it up between times with Morrisons and Aldi, which are very good. I wouldnt touch our local ASDA with a bargepole - always low on stock and not inspiring.

Id go anywhere rather than go to Tescos...........they are bullies !!!

In Answer to Missprim, Sainsburys hand you a voucher after you have paid (if any product was cheaper somewhere else) saying you can have 42p (or whatever amount) off your next shopping trip and it has a valid until date. So although I would have been able to get it back I have just missed the deadline. I think it would be better if they deducted it there and then, but I suppose they are just trying to lure you back.

[boxtops]

I got one of those today, grasscarp, I didn't realise what it was immediately, I just thought it was saying "you saved 42p today"!

"A combination of Aldi and local shops and markets" - with an occasional Ocado order for bits&bobs that they do better than other places.

Pretty much the same as jack - but different shops .. probably ;+)

Can't stand Tescos .I shop locally for bread ,meat .Lucky to have a thriving High Street and a market a short bus ride away for fruit ,veg ,fish ,eggs . I pick up odds and ends at Morrisons (local) but get a big shop delivered once a month from Sainsburys for storecupboard stuff and heavy bulky items which I can't carry .
I also buy a few specific bits from Lidl .

I do my big shop at Asda (online in the winter in case the weather turns bad) as I feel some loyalty to them as they were the only supermarket where all of the trollies were double baby/toddler ones when thing 1 and thing 2 were little. I get a lot of stuff from Aldi, bits and bobs from Sainsburys and the Tesco in town. Buy the meat from the lovely butchers in town. Hate Morrisons with a passion, everything about it is wrong.

[grasscarp]

Its annoying Boxtops that they make the voucher expire so soon cos I dont go to Sainsburys very often (as much further away than a plethora of Tescos round here.)

[boxtops]

No, nor me - the only time I go anywhere near a Sainsbury's is when I go to a certain place for a meeting!

[grasscarp]

Memo to self, Boxtops has an interesting private life.

[boxtops]

ROFL - no - not an assignation by the bike racks!

[Prudie]

Tesco because it's the only big supermarket in my nearest town but would like to try others. Tesco staff are often quite rude and disinterested, probably because they know they have the monopoly in my area. Their meat is like old boots too and lots of ready meals only have a day or so left in date.

[Cherrypie7]

Asda or sainsbury's.

latest Which report gives Ocodo the top score,then Waitrose

[sandyRoe]

M&S because it's handy.

After shopping with Tesco for years I switched to Waitrose last year. I find their fruit and veg to be fresher, and their own brand goods nicer than Tesco. They also price match with Tesco on a lot of branded goods............

I used to use Ocado for occasional 'big-shop' delivery but, I suspect because I don't use them very often, their delivery charge can be high.
I now use Waitrose - if you spend £50plus delivery is FREE! And you can add a note for your personal shopper - like 'under-ripe bananas please', and it works!
