Argh

Apparently "Tesco is committed to helping you/me spend less everyday".

Let's all reflect very briefly on that.

Yes so now we all know that is a lie on many levels, and although I know that advertising is full of misleading and sugared deceptions this one is a doosy.

IF they were committed to helping me spend less they would be shut an awful lot more, not fill their stores with endless tat. They would not indulge in loss leaders, reward card superfuge research and whatever other brain washing techniques they seem to be employing.

I recall a Mitchell and Webb sketch about the aftermath of the Tesco induced social armegeddon. It had a ring of prophesy.

  1. Tesco in Poland is so expensive, I thought tesco was suppose to be the cheapest shop, but it depends which country it is in I guess. Haha in my country it is spend more everyday. But I do admit england does have tesco's wich are cheap.

  2. It is true that Tesco has things which are cheap, but they are very skilled at getting people to buy more and more of the cheap things than they really need, and so come out of their stores with an expensive amount of shopping, then people think of the clucard points and soothe their unease....scandalous I call it.
