Tesco et al.

Tesco forced to slash prices by Aldi and Lidl.

The last five years have seen the emergence of the discounters and the slashing of prices. AOL News.

If this is the way things are with Tesco - it is far from the case at our local Morrisons. I did a shop there last evening along with Mrs Blogger and it was noteworthy how they actually seemed to be getting worse. The BOGOFs were fewer; the mark downs of goods approaching their sell-by date were not sufficient to entice me to buy; there were items not on sale which I would have easily purchased in ASDA and finally, for the first time in my experience, ASDA was better in almost all respects. As regular readers will know, I rotate my shopping and remember prices so as to maximise savings. Well, as part of that, Morrisons will be receiving fewer visits from us.
