John Wright Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 3 minutes ago, IOM said: To be honest I just don’t get why people want to shut debates down and complain themselves about too much debate and discussion about something. It’s not like people are forced to read these forums if people don’t want to be bothered then that’s fair enough stop reading the thread ! I’m not trying to shut down debate. You’re as responsible as some others for factually inaccurate information on this thread. Ive asked you for your solution. You provided a wish list, but no route there. Your wish list isn’t very different to mine. I accept that there isn’t a route from where we are to where I’d like things to be. In the meantime I’m not taken in by Tesco and its marketing, and I’m able to use it to shop reasonably economically, and not by sticking to price match or club card specials. It serves its purpose for me, especially the delivery service. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you take a further look at the pricing outside of Aldi price match and club card special offers . The vast majority of products now carry a premium to the U.K. it’s a fact .

Fair enough: and I didn’t suggest otherwise - but watching two people arguing about the nature of truth on an internet forum definitely demands popcorn! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDave Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) 33 minutes ago, John Wright said: 5p-25p premiums on the majority of products That is fact though, if you look at products that aren’t on some sort of offer or a price match. The only thing not correct about the comment you have quoted is that there are plenty of times with a much bigger than 25p premium.

I’ve just checked it for here, and Carnforth. There’s £1 in it. I’ve £18.44 in club card savings. That’s the same on both baskets. Out of the 122 more than 100 aren’t specials, club card, or price match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably very little from outside those two groups . Nothing wrong with that you are choosing to shop key items and special offers . Most other people won’t .

I very carefully specified that there were more than 100 items that weren’t price matched or club card specials. No idea why you think that all I buy are those. But it’s another misrepresentation by you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then your shop is very heavily weighted towards special offers and price match. When I get a chance later I will do a completely random shopping list and show the differences. I really don’t get why you are so determined to argue. The facts. I don’t think anyone is surprised there is a difference, but to keep thing it is a bit strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone is surprised there is a difference, but to keep thing it is a bit strange Another irony alert. im pointing out the facts revealed by my research. I’m not arguing. That’s you and IOM. Ive no loyalty to Tesco. I accept that there are some price differences. My checks don’t show the 5-25p per item, and it’s only on some, not all. What we need, and don’t have, is a comparison between an identical random basket at Lake Road and a nearby superstore in England, before take over and now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t do before takeover, but I can easily do a completely random for now and am confident it will back up that most items are at least 5p more, which is what you keep denying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
