Annoymouse Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I’ve spent this week closely comparing prices across our choice of supermarkets, Tesco has put loads of stuff up by quite some margin, what is especially noticeable is their value range, M&S and Co-op are certainly cheaper on most of the value range, is this Tesco massively profiteering (a future scandal no doubt?) or are M&S and Co-op heavily subsidising their value ranges? I’m not a great fan of Shoprite but they have also proved cheaper on a host of items, which is something I can’t believe I’m even writing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait, the rest will follow. Edited June 22, 2022 by GD4ELI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory is they want to make it one big increase and then have stability for a while, or offer discounts to make it appear cheaper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the supermarkets have their bargains but who can be bothered 😕 r afford the petrol to go around each one just buying the best bargains! M& S had a good deal on buy 3 deli items for £7 which went to £8 a few months ago, probably £9 soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a few weeks and you'll see prices ramping up across the range of shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but because of the stupid direction of the one way system nobody has actually gone to Castletown to find out. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No parking in the square at all at the moment and just a few places on The Parade Just how it should be. A market square is for people not cars. never been a great fan of going to Castletown but since the closure I’ve been more than ever. Always passing by on my bike. Sometimes stopping for coffee sometimes just to people watch. Just need Hugo’s missus to start the same approach in Port Erin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
