It's also interesting that some items in Tesco have fallen to those
of Aldi in the last month or so and some lines have been dropped.
Tesco don't appear to stock *any* Kingsmill bread products now and
their own brand bread is now only available in "Everyday Value" form.


As part of getting themselves sorted out, Tesco are reducing the number
of lines they stock, in part by reducing the number of brands of a typr
of product.

E.G. they have stopped stocking kingsmill stuff, and have thus managed
to negotiate a better deal with Hovis - hence the 78p Hovis loaves they
stock now. similar things with their different own brand of stuff


If you're comparing, say, Hovis Best of Both with Aldi Both in One,
the latter was 55 pence yesterday at Aldi Spalding and weighs 800g.
The Hovis at 78p only weighs 750g.
