Reduced to clear at Tesco, they're getting tight with the reductions

Tesco reduced to clear

Mean old Tesco

Now when I go to our local Tesco the reduced counter is always pretty full and there are plenty of yellow stickers, but a few pence off here and isn't much of an incentive to walk past Iceland now is it?



Tesco used to significantly reduce the prices of items that were close to their sell-by date, but these days it's hardly worth the bother looking in the reduced section and hunting for those yellow stickers.

28-2-2008I work at Tesco (and I'd just like to point out I am not a "fan" of Tesco and simply work there because I'm a student and need a part time job). I don't work on the shop floor and don't do reductions but I know how they work. As a company, they want to make as much mone...moreEmily
08-2-2008T M has obviously taken advantage of all the fatty salty sugary BOGOF offers in his/her 'spot-on' Tesco - to the point where he/she (most likely 'he') has a brain so devolved it resembles a Dairylea Lunchable... Or maybe Tesco has added brainwashing to their risible portfolio of cus...moreTerry Leahy is the AntiChrist
05-2-2008Jamie Oliver is so right to endorse Sainsbury. My local branch of TESCO simply don't stock many of the ingredients from his Italian cookbook (although perversley, they stocked the cookbook!!!). I wanted some Polenta last week for Jamie's Apple and Polenta cake - 'Never heard of it' s...moreStour valley cook
05-2-2008Pull your socks up TESCO - we haven't failed to notice that you employ thick, ignorant staff who can't be bothered to serve us with a smile let alone good manners. Oh, and it's no good asking us to fill out those silly complaint forms because you simply fail to respond to them - fail fro...moreRUTH
05-2-2008The price of food is so immoral, that when Tesco REDUCE their food at the end of the day, it is STILL TOO EXPENSIVE! We are professional people, doing the best we can to get our own business off the ground and we can't afford to buy anything that isn't BOGOF or reduced - and that's becau...moreSuffolk Annie
30-1-2008I always shop at Tesco. The Tesco near where I live is spot on! Terry, I couldn't care less about what you think Tesco has done and I cast not one thought over any misguided assumptions of yours. Bigger picture. I have concerns on what this government has done to my country. At the mome...moreT M
09-1-2008Do not shop at Tesco. Tesco is the embodiment of all that is wrong with Britain today. Tesco has destroyed the farming industry. Tesco has ripped the heart out of High Street shopping the length and breadth of the country. Tesco has killed off local businesses with its frightening monopoly o...moreTerry Leahy is the AntiChrist
18-12-2007The likes of people that turn up at closing time to (hopefully) buy stupidly cheap food are only pushing up the price of the products of shoppers that are genuinely buying their food shop. Don't moan about it just pay the price that you are prepared to. It is better for them to sell something fo...morePhil
15-12-2007All supermarkets are bXXtards. I wouldn't bother going to one if you can help it. And if they stopped giving away millions of carrier bags, maybe their prices would be cheaper anyway. Write to their head office or do demo infront of the store. They will probably throw you off their 'land...morekimbob
05-12-2007We live in the quite frankly, I don't give a damn society. Tesco is a store which couldn't give a monkeys. They are simply in it for nothing but the huge profit/margin they can make. You people who sell "The Big Issue" or who are on some kind of social security voucher forget it...moreBelgian Chocolate Slayer
05-12-2007Sainsburys's reductions of meat are a lot better in Didcot. Top tip reduced beef joints can be cut up for steaks for bbqs quite cheaply yum yum. Tesco's employs imbeciles whereas Sainsburys's only has 4 tills open at 6pm. Choices choices deal with morons and get served quicker, or hang ...morebouboy
