I can’t image a thing more dull than spending anymore than the minimum time required diving into a supermarket. The idea of thinking about it beforehand and weighing up options on a run of beans makes me shudder. Time spent in a farm shop or a deli can be a pleasers, but Tesco or the co-op? In and out with the minimum hassle of brain power thanks. It’s like hoovering or ironing. Just a chore. Well Woolley is obviously married to Gladys and they think its wonderful! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 43 minutes ago, mad_manx said: Agree...Looks like there are people who would be happy to go to Tesco multiple times a week .. I am happy with my weekly shops..😀 As, I should think, are most people. Totally bizarre to be in and out of shops every day to me. No love for them at all. Use them as effectively as possible for the shortest time possible then stay away for the longest time possible. Along with this approach come multibuy offers without having to think about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't take much of the credit. It's Mrs W's domain really, but it really isn't a matter of "taking care". It's blindingly obvious and takes no additional time at all. Someone going into the confounded place every day is spending more time there than us. I reckon most people have their heads screwed on tightly enough not to pay over the odds by ignoring offers.

John Wright Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 14 hours ago, John Wright said: Anyway, I’m going out to dinner with a Tesco exec this evening. I’ll raise the complaints for him to take back to HQ. Vic Road opening in 2 weeks. Biggest problem has been unexpected need to replace transformers for all the electrical equipment. St Pauls Square and Port Erin will completed before TT. The rest will stay as Shoprite until after TT. Changeover by end August. Pricing not his field, but he’s taking back the gist of what’s been said on here to the area manager. No white goods. Generally consumer electrics being phased out across UK. Grocery collect by car will be coming asap. Whoosh probably, later. Express will have more own brand lines and club card offers (UK wide to compete with ALDI/Lidl) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Thanks John. What is meant by 'white goods' is that just large appliances, or does it include small electricals like kettles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is meant by 'white goods' is that just large appliances, or does it include small electricals like kettles? I understand it to mean fridges, washers, dryers, freezers, etc. you’ll recall Tesco applied for, and were refused, PP to construct a mezzanine at Lake Road to have increased floor space to allow them to sell clothing and white goods. Not sure what the position with smaller consumer electrics will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I think they will lose the larger items and they seem to be actively promoting small home electricals. Hopefully this link will work https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/shop/home-and-ents/electrical/home-appliances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this link will work https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/shop/home-and-ents/electrical/home-appliances Thanks emesde, tried searching to see what white goods they stock, unsuccessfully. Not overly bothered either way, but it would be good to have another alternative for small appliances and household goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong if I am wrong about something I will own up to it - notice I said yesterday I was wrong in my estimate of the number of special offers . Anyway whilst I admit I have not looked at all 11000 lines here are some more Soreen banana loaf 260g 160v170 Tesco Fruit sliced loaf 135v 140 Herta frankfuters 140g 170v 180 Peach slices in juice 410g 110v 115 Silver spoon caster sugar 1kg 225v235 Silverspoon Royal icing sugar 500g 170v 180 Pepsi max 24x 330ml 1050v 1105 why don't you phone up Aldi , get a pallet full of dry/tinned goods that you usually buy on a weekly basis shipped over and come back and tell us how much you saved compared to what it would have cost you at castletown tescos prices ? ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
