A bit off topic ? but I agree totally. Tesco's do adopt underhand
tactics. I've seen things "misplaced" on shelves quite frequently and
even fell foul myself once. Needless to say the misplaced items always
end up in a cheaper space.

The other gripe are these "for one" offers. I feel ripped off if I
only want a normal quantity, so I just use Morrisons or Asda.

WTP?

Unless it's veg you either keep the extra item in the cupboard or stick it
in the freezer

Most of the shopping in supermarkets must surely be for food.

I used Tesco's for fruit & vegetables but felt I was being ripped off
if I only wanted a normal quantity.

For cleaning products I find Aldi or Lidl hard to beat, probably
because a lot of their own brand products do not have advertising
agencies to support.
