Since when did Tesco sell wine as a 'Winter Essential'?

Too many pissheads out there that's for sure.

Are you suggesting it isnt?

Yes, society has changed, along with its constituent parts. That's modernity for you.

Buyer beware, according to a recent report, most of those offers are probably out of date.

You can use it as anti-freeze. Or is it the other way round..?

Tesco are notorious for wrong ticketing. I used to shop in a Tesco where I lived previously, and watch the till as items went through. Several times I had to point out that an item was on offer, which the computer hadn't honoured (in date).
They also had items at, for example, 85p each or two for £1.95.

Remember the 'Double the Difference' policy next time you are overcharged for something in Tesco which is marked at wrong price

Also several times I have seen them have an offer on an item, the shelf space for the item is then filled with an alternate item which is still full price.

Brilliant marketing in that if you need two of the items on the day you are shopping you get charged more than if you had two separate baskets and got the items pried individually.

However the lack of awareness displayed by shoppers never ceases to amaze. The usual one is when a smaller size item is reduced in price so that 2 of the smaller items although being the same size or more of the larger item are cheaper than the larger item, but shoppers still blindly pick up the larger item off the shelf, thereby losing out on the saving.

I used to work in Tesco when I was student. I f***ing hated the people who checked every single item as it went through the till. They seemed to think it was my fault when an offer didn't get put on.

Hard to believe...Tesco shops are like rats, you're never more than twenty metres away from one.

True. My nearest one is in Lewes, 7 miles away. I prefer Lidl and Morrisons, in any case.
