Default Supermarket ****lists

Never eat Asda "own brand"...

Low calorie - we made it smaller.
Chocolate pudding - diamond core dust is more edible.
Bread - congratulations you got the bag of salt.
Diet hot chocolate - brilliant, you'll never want to eat again.
Ham - mechanically recovered, from the ceiling of the chainsaw
massacre.
Extra Special - more sugar than Tait-n-Lyle's inventory.
Toilet Paper - forget diamond dust, this stuff is worse. Better than
chocolate pudding though.

Sunday, the day when you probably want 24/7 opening - they shut at
4pm.

Only good thing is the branded stuff is cheap if you time things
right.

Overall the simple question is why is the most profitable UK business
a Supermarket or "Warehouse". I guess the same reason banks are paying
0% and charging 6-33%. Some farmers do ok, many are stuck between the
poor house & self-sufficiency if you are a rabbit. I guess the old
adage, don't buy the crap product they sells like hot cakes, buy those
selling it.


If you need to re-sole your shoes, Asda beef. I also object to some of their
offers, similar to £2.50 each or 2 for £3. Just shows what profit they're
making and the poor old biddy who doesn't need/want 2 gets screwed (bad
choice of word).
Tesco - They built a new Tesco near us (selling crap as usual) and
effectively killed the town and markets. Why is it that nobody bothers to
look in the town and buy decent quality stuff? 50 yards from Tesco carpark
and folks could buy proper food.
