That’s so weird! I was just in Tesco last Friday and was very pleasantly surprised by how much my shopping bill came to. I was doing a big shop, which included (in my mind anyway) expensive things like Actimel stuff, dishwasher tablets, wine glasses and lots and lots of basics. My trolley came to E68. I was expecting it to be more like E100.

their prices are definitely down a lot, though some items are still very expensive and a lot of stuff has disappeared off the shelves completely (for example, their range of pasta has reduced significantly).

Things are definitely cheaper – especially meat – which had gotten really expensive there. You still have to keep an eye on prices, as you do anytime you shop, but it’s a good step in the right direction.

I’ve noticed that prices have in general fallen and there is alot more selection for certain things(olive oils, pasta, sauces, sweets etc). But I’ve also noticed that some ‘cut prices’ have risen in the last few days

The thing that really bugs me about Tesco is how items that seem to be selling well often have their price sneakily raised with no fanfare, and sometimes, unbelievably, with the claim of a ‘NEW’ price (e.g. sugarsnap peas which were €1.09 up to a couple of weeks ago, and then became €1.19). Some of these ‘long-term’ price cuts don’t seem to last very long. Some raised prices, and even completely unchanged prices, are actually printed on those larger special offer tags, presumably on the basis that they don’t expect people to notice the discrepency between the premise of a special offer sticker and the lack of an actual offer.

That is some shopping list for someone down to her last nine euro.
