4 pints of milk is a classic Tesco ( & other big 4 supermarkets) rip off
See this link from November 2009 which shows them all (except Iceland who charged £1.00) flogging 4 pints for £1.53
http://metricviews.org.uk/2009/11/mi...market-muddle/
In the 4 or 5 years since then the price eased to £1.39. When it suited them Tesco would sell their own spurious "Creamfields" brand at £1.00. Throughout all this time Aldi, Lidl and Iceland continued to sell 25% cheaper at £1.00, Asda dropped theirs to £1.00 a few months ago.
Lo and behold on 4 March 2014 Tesco, Sainsburys and the rest dropped their price to £1.00. The extra £0.39 was excess profit - how many million 4 pint bottles of milk do they sell a day ?
Tesco - every little rip off helps our bottom line

Ha...I was single and doing my own shopping from 18 to 40+ . Plenty of experience.
Oh, and the supermarkets could do to allow the farmers and producers of THIS country a bit of profit, instead of screwing them into the ground and ultimately out of business, so leading to totally unnecessary imports.

I've always been the one to do the food shopping, never takes long because I know exactly where everything is and the shopping bill never seems to differ much at all, love it!

I only started shopping for food after I first got divorced aged 46. Before that it was her indoor's domain. It was a steep learning curve
I can't say I love it though. .like breathing, it's a necessity.
I agree Graham. ..more profit should be handed to our hard pressed farmers.
There's a lot of greedy share holders and not just at Tesco. If only we all knew what pressures a few of these companies are under.

Don't understand why anyone goes to Tesco still nowadays, unless they've no choice. It's the most expensive supermarket and even Sainsburys is now cheaper (If you take into consideration their strange marketing habit of giving away coupons for your next shop)
It used to be the best place to go 15 or so years ago, but the prices have slowly crept up and now it's notably more expensive.
Add this to the fact the staff are miserable (If you know anyone working there personally, they'll tell you it's because morale is very low as they have been cut back and are overworked). Contrast this with Asda staff, most will tell you it's an ok or even good place to work, and there's a noticeable difference in their attitude, at least at the ones I've been to.
Another supermarket I better not name, there's apparently a bullying attitude with management as culture, and there's all sorts of stories about employees being treated very badly out there.
Then there's Aldi, cheaper to buy, quality often better than the big normal supermarkets, and jobs sought after - they pay decent wages (for a supermarket, nobody will get rich on them but for that field it's not bad).

The ones that actually made any money became Tesco metros. The rest were hung out to dry.
Can't see how Tesco are more expensive Remember the Tesco price promise. be it only compared wd Asda and Sainsburys. Ok, you have to buy at least 10 items to benefit but, it's a kosher offer.

Forgive me for veering from the actual theme of your *thread, Peter ... but, leaving aside for a moment, its reference to Tesco in the *title, I couldn't resist a at my own fleeting thoughts as regards the remaining words 'jam tomorrow'.
Tomorrow being Sunday - and Easter Sunday at that - the youth of our church will, no doubt, have a role in the morning service. Now, as it happens, those youngsters (aged between 12 & 17) are members of what is known as 'The JAM Club' ... JAM in this context being short for 'Jesus And Me' ... and, of course, on Easter Sunday, the focus of Christians everywhere, is on Jesus' resurrection from the tomb and His ascension unto Heaven.

If any of the kids miss the service, will they be called 'Jammy Dodgers' ?
