Capitalism. It's people thinking up new ideas that are massive wastes of money, just to justify their job | | | |

It's about increasing market share. Tesco already have a fairly stable % of the market based on their current customer demographic and don't wish to threaten it. However, the likes of lidl and Aldi are the ones increasing market share due to being cheap and cheerful. Jack's is just another, cheaper brand which is to compete with these two rather than Tesco. So if Tesco share stays flat and Jack's can take away a bit of market share from competitors then the Tesco parent company increases overall % [Post edited 19 Sep 2018 18:01]

The plan seems to centre on ‘ghost stores’ where Tesco was planning or even built a store (like Chatteris which opened today) or to convert ‘Metro’ stores in poorer urban areas where Lidl and Aldi are often a smaller presence as they have tended to be small town or edge/out-of-town stores. Both Aldi and Lidl were planning to increasingly target this market. | | | |

Tesco have tried this model before haven't they and it tanked? I'm sure in true British style they went down the cheap but shite quality route and it burned. The Germans have shown you can do both cheap and quality | |

Yes Cohen started as a market trader and started the supermarket as a discount store favouring self service. [Post edited 19 Sep 2018 20:45]

I've never bought fruit or veg in an Aldi or Lidl that lasted anything like as long as Tescos. | |

Any normal sized Tesco will offer 30 types of pasta of varying shapes, brands, colours and types. A discounter like jacks will offer 5 tops. They are just simpler, and therefore staff wise, cheaper stores to run. Queuing at check-out in Lidl or Aldi is also a bind, with everyone gawping at the shite you've bought. | |

I totally agree and have often thought the same. I do most of my. Shopping at Lidl, Aldi and some stuff comes from Home Bargains, I also use Morrison’s for the stuff I can’t get elsewhere and my apples. | | | |

I find it great. Refill the trolley and pack on the benches. Far quicker | |

I tend to shop mostly at Tesco or ASDA and use Aldi or Lidl for a change now and again. Some of the cheaper own brand booze is worth the trip to the Germans for. | |

They aborted that strategy about 3 years ago. The freshly baked bread in Tesco has a maximum use by date of 1 day and is terrible.I now instruct the good lady never to go there. Aldi covers all bases and is far better quality than Tesco for fruit and veg,not fussed to much on most Lidl products . But both do superb deals on the wine and ale. I get her when entering to go film the wine selection on her iPhone and send it to me ,she then gets on with the shopping and by the time she's finished I phone her with what I want,the wine is always by the tills in Aldi and Lidl's for a reason,thank me later lads for that tip.

Stevenage When I lived in Watford I had one a similar distance away from chez Kerr, thankfully they've started building one by me as a 7 minute drive is easier than 40 minutes to Watford | |

Do you think that's a good thing? Or has the produce been grown specifically to look good and last a long time to maximise the supermarkets profits at the expense of how it tastes. Then have a think about how they might achieve that... Then again well all be eating chlorinated chicken and hormone fuelled beef if the fûckwit brexiteers get their way. | |
