Tesco??? Don't over estimate what you think Tesco has done for keeping prices down and for competition in this counrty.........
Have a look at the abolishment of the grocery order which that lobbied to have removed as they said it kept prices falsely inflated, and what happened when it was abolishesd??? Fuck all except to allow them to sell some product, mainly drink as a loss leader to drive footfall which did piss all for the ordinary customer...........
Tesco and the like have been responsible for the closure of corner shops, family run business and local retailers the length and breath of the country.........
Here's a little something for you about tesco and their maeketing machine. This if fact, I'm not making this up, I've seen this with my own eyes and it's just and example..............
Kelloggs crunchy nut cornflakes.............
750g cost €3.53. That's €4.71 per kg..........
1kg cost €5.15. That's €5.15 per kg...........
On the 1kg box it says "1kg best value pack"
Per kg, it clearly isn't the best value pack, but people will assume, because they are in Tesco, and it says it on the box, it must be the best value. 9 people out of 10 will pick up the bigger box thinking they are getting the best value for their family but they have just been cheated by the marketing machine, and had their trust taken advantage of by the very same Tesco...........
