Tesco Losing Money, Notmsurprised

[smurfchops]

So Tesco is losing money, I'm not surprised. A leg of lamb in New Malden this week was £27!!! Time for a serious price drop or I will be going to Lidl more often ...

[ummmm]

Exactly...

Food is cheaper in real terms than it has ever been. Fresh milk can be bought for 25p a pint, fresh chickens three for a tenner.

In 1971, milk was 6p a pint whilst a pint of bitter was 11p. Today a pint in a pub is about £2, 8 times more than a pint of milk.
A loaf of bread was 10p, one penny cheaper than bitter. Now it's half the price.
A bunch of bananas was 18p - I bought a bunch of bananas for 20p this week, albeit in the 'reduced' section.

The cost of petrol and housing has risen dramatically, no arguing that, but food and clothing are very much cheaper in real terms.
