    He obviously knows what side his bread will soon be buttered on as he recently started criticizing Labours "woefully low educational standards". Watch this space for news of Lord Leahy of Scouseland

    My maths is not good, but the number of replies to "Tesco - Rip Off", "Standards of Service" and "Curry's Electrical" (115 so far) is fast approaching the total for the "Celebration" threads (127) - must be significant !

    Significant, yes ... but alas, not cause for celebration! Sign of the times in post-war Britain I guess!

    what i always do when i shop is compare prizes based on weight or per piece i.e. how much per gram or per liter... works for me though but the thing is, it takes me longer to shop now as i also check the label (nutritional facts) as well as doing the maths.. lol

    Is it me or are Easter eggs another example of rip off. If you turn up after easter they are all half-price anyways and keep them till next year
    It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

    Fresh water ... sorry but thats not what they use...."Some of the processing companies also used beef and pork proteins to hold in the water."
    "Manufacturers have also been criticised for adding hydrolysed chicken protein, which is extracted from parts of the bird not used for food, such as skin, bone, and feathers. "
    Mmmmmm tasty

    Tesco must be doing not too badly profit-wise ... when a place the size of Perth [population around the 50,000 mark] has three branches - two superstores (one open round the clock) the other *from 7am till 10pm and a 'metro' with *similar trading hours.

    Aberystwyth must be the major town in the UK without a Tesco.

    I always go round and check the labels, for me its a good system those in a hurry or cant be bother subdise us people who take a while to check the suppermarkets and work out the best offers

    Any way i thought the majority on here always moaning how it seems no one younger than them can do the 3 r's anymore...

    I recently saw in Tesco breakfast cereal £1.96 for 1 and buy 2 for £4! How stupid do they think we are?

    Funnily enough Daryl Lynn has just applied for a job there checking the prices!

    I bought 1 bag of lettuce there recently. "Do you want a bag?" "No, it's already in one Duh!"

    You walk into the petrol station to buy a chocolate bar. Pick up the bar and offer it to the checkout person with the correct money. "Any petrol?" they ask.
    Stock answers are...
    1. What?, for 50p?
    2. No thanks, kind of you to offer but what am I supposed to carry it in?
    3. What for? I walked here!

    The only cheap food left in the UK is the Indian microwave meals, tiny bits of meat in a stodgy sauce with a few grains of rice, wouldn't fill a kitten up

    I buy all my meat from a local farm shop/butcher. Everything he sells is from his own amimals and the price is @ 30% cheaper than the supermarkets yet the quality is far, far superior. For my everyday shopping I use ASDA which is the cheapest for basics and tinned goods. My only gripe about them is the fish counter is never manned so you have to go find someone. Oh, and their pizzas and curries are great.
    I've seen numerous examples of bigger packs = less value , thankfully my mobile has a calculator function so I can easily check and do so often.
    I remember going around the large supermarket attached to SM Mall of Asia.....I think it's Robinsons but i'm sure someone here will correct me if i'm wrong and my baby was bought ONE mangostein from the counter and no fuss whereas here 90% of the time you have to buy fruit in multipack punnets. Sigh, cant wait to live there .....unfortunately, my baby cant wait to live here .
