Supermarket Food Prices

[hogthrob]

My local Tesco is pretty dear for most things compared to ASDA, and only comes down close - when you use clubcard.

I think proprietary brands are still mega-expensive, compared to supermarket own brands

Jacobs crackers - about £1.50, Asda 50p (no difference in taste)
Weetabix - not sure price but at least double Asda's own. (different taste, but no better/worse)

Aldi Nordpak spreadable butter and olive spread - half the price of Lurpak etc

I have noticed that all the Coriander leaves, Rocket and Flat leaf parsley - is now very 'stalky'. Easy for them to make up the weight with stalk rather than leaves.

Tomatoes - Expensive and pretty tasteless (unless you get mega-expensive ones from Waitrose, M&S ) I have found.

So - go back 4yrs, and I'd say food is MUCH more expensive and MUCH less quality - now

Are you comparing branded products from Tesco to ASDA own brand? What is that supposed to demonstrate? If you did a like for like comparison, you'd probably find that overall costs were broadly similar.


Did you mean 'Tesco Local' rather than 'local Tesco'?
