Coop v Tesco

Just a little tip here, I forgot to get some tissues with my shopping this weekend, and have run out, so Joan nipped over to the Coop for some for me, they had no single boxes of Kleenex only duel packs which cost £4-85p, she thought that was a bit steep so she popped down to Tesco, they too only had duel packs, but the cost was £3-74 £1-11p cheaper, not only that it was a BOGOF offer Johns a happy bunny

Re: Coop v Tesco

It is ages since I bought paper hankies. They sound expensive wherever you buy.
Nowt wrong with using gents size cotton hankies.
They get washed on the high temp cycle to destroy any germs.

Unfortunately Margaret I use quite a lot of tissues because my nose gets blocked easily with using oxygen all the time it dries it up, I also use a nasal spray, so it makes more sense for me to use tissues

They're strange sometimes these offers. Noticed the other day in Asda, a 300g jar of Nescafe was £4, whereas the large tin 500g was £9. (summat).

Had something similar on Bacardi last year.

Re: Coop v Tesco

It surprised me that two store only a couple of hundred yards apart have such big differences in prising £4-85p to £3-74p £1-11p difference on the standard cost without Th BOGOF offer which makes it incredible, you can tell I ain't done my own shopping for quit a while

Re: Coop v Tesco

I shop online for groceries, but for those who prefer to visit a supermarket, you can 'view before you go' by looking at prices and offers here -
Compare Supermarket Prices | Supermarket Shopping - mySupermarket

You can even fill a virtual trolley and see which supermarket is cheapest for your shopping that week. Rest assured that you are not committed to 'checkout' that trolley, and not one penny of your money is spent until you enter card details - and you can back out long before that.

Yes but Tesco have been crafty with their double clubcard points promotion cause they have halved the points on fuel
