I'm getting 10.00 of an 80.00 shop and 1.50 delivery charge .This can't be good for margins .Doing a weekly online shop and top up at local Waitrose .Ten times earnings is 220p which is the ceiling for now .Sicknote

One worries about the direction of travel here, investors not keen to buy, management Shake up required to take the Company into the 2020’s
First step, reclaim 208p resistance or in danger of drifting to 187p support, above 208p, will be a short term positive.

Who cares why they are shopping as long as the punters are shopping, Poikka!

[poikka] 05/11/2019 10:21

That's something that bothers me - the difference between stores; it just shouldn't happen.

I noticed yesterday that there were a few empty 'boxes' on the shelves, and what I thought was management helping at stocking the shelves, but soon realised that it was the usual staff in semi-Christmas gear. Kinda odd. It was very busy for a Monday - early Christmas shopping, or 5th November party shopping?

[keyno] 05/11/2019 10:07

Thanks, Poikka. Fifteen isn't too bad. Our large Sbry underwent a tart-up about 2 years ago and has never been the same since. The empty shelves syndrome started when it re-opened and has continued. Short staffed or bad management or poor logistics? We now see what is clearly management helping to stack shelves, to little avail as there are often large gaps. A lot of tins are bashed about too. The staff are always pleasant though, as well as very helpful and I much prefer shopping there to any of the other large stores, not least because the car park is never full. I'm not a fan of Coupe and only have a few shares here now, pleased to say.

About 5 miles as the crow flies, Keyno, but 15 by car. Not sure just how much 'tarting-up' is going on, probably nothing like as much as happened at Hedge End. It's been looking a bit tired for a while - nothing serious, just slightly out of date (not the food..).

[keyno] 04/11/2019 22:43

How far apart from each other are the stores, Poikka?

[poikka] 04/11/2019 18:58

Thursday.

Sainsbury's continue to upgrade their stores - 2nd large store near us undergoing a tart-up atm.

[chiefbrody] 04/11/2019 11:36

Higher prices lol. Never believed that one. With such cutthroat competition, would never happen.Interims later this week i believe.

Al these headlines with Aldi and Lidl taking market share and the big four seen to be in terminal decline.

There must be a way to calculate how long before Aldi and Lidl hit 100% market share then.

I'm still bemused at how the CMA concluded that the merger with Asda was blocked claiming it would lead to higher consumer prices.

Sharesave price likely to be very enticing.

Disappointing price action, since the last mini rally of “hope”

Dairy analyst Chris Walkland said questions needed to be asked over Sainsbury’s tendering process.

He said: “I am still hearing that Sainsbury’s farmers will not be paid, which begs the question as to whether legal action by Sainsbury’s farmers will be on the cards to get their money, given they were effectively forced to move by Sainsbury’s in the first place.

“If they do not get paid then Sainsbury’s can kiss goodbye to the reputation of the Sainsbury’s Dairy Development Group and Sainsbury’s as working closely with and caring for suppliers.”

The future is even less certain for 35 non-aligned producers in North Wales, who supplied to various roundsmen and stores via Tomlinsons.

However, it is believed the Welsh Government has been in talks with PWC and affected farmers hope they will be able to recover some of the money owed.

Sainsbury’s said while it did not comment on its relationships with individual suppliers, it had been working with Tomlinsons farmers and had prioritised the continuation of milk collections by switching to Muller.

An M&S spokesperson said: "Our relationships with our farmers are central to our Select Farms programme and this October, we are celebrating 20 years of our Milk Pledge, which is our promise to farmers that we will always pay a fair, leading and transparent price for milk.

"We are directly supporting the two farmers that have produced M&S Select Farm milk through Tomlinsons Dairies and we have paid them for the milk they have supplied to us.”
Meanwhile farming charity RABI has stepped in to offer grants worth £3,000 as part of its Crisis Fund.

The charity said affected farmers should contact its helpline which will help fast-track applications for financial assistance using a ‘simplified application and criteria process’.

RABI chairman Malcolm Thomas said: “RABI exists to support members of the farming community, which is why we are putting these measures in place at this difficult time.

“It is a proactive move on our part to make immediate, short-term support readily available.

“The news that Tomlinsons has gone into administration came out of the blue for many farmers, leaving some without payments for milk supplies and having to find alternative milk processors to supply to.”

Affected farmers have been urged to call RABI’s Freephone helpline number on 0808 281 9490.

I now avoid Amazon where ever possible.

They are simply too powerful and bad for so many smaller businesses I will never buy groceries from them.

[loganair] 23/10/2019 14:31

Sainsbury's desperately needs to do something...

Mr Potts CEO of Morrison's supermarkets acknowledges that “Amazon has ambition in grocery and we are one of the smaller British retailers. Both companies want to support innovative, different ways of serving customers better in the UK.” He also confirms that Morrisons could supply Amazon stores with groceries, if — or rather when — they finally open their till-free Go sites, and that distribution work is already going on for Amazon to use Morrisons supermarkets as “offering one- to two-hour delivery using our stores.”

Sadly, it is called living in a nanny state where the government tells its people what to do and how to live their lives.

[alphorn] 18/10/2019 17:52

Long gone are the days when we used to make own with weed killer and sugar in old water tanks etc. Quite a bang.

[chiefbrody] 18/10/2019 17:48

Somebody has to take the lead re Fireworks. Whilst I wish it wasn't Sains first (as a shareholder), I commend their decision. Such a nuisance these days. Long overdue they were restricted to specialist outlets. Yup, I'm a pet owner and I wouldn't be that fussed if kids wee sensible these days. Alas we all know how in law abiding

The market share of the Big Four supermarkets has tumbled to a 15-year low as the march of the German discounters Aldi and Lidl continues.

Tesco, Sainbury's, Asda and Morrisons now hold just 62.7 per cent of the market.

Aldi and Lidl have raked in an additional £1billion in sales over the past year, boosting their combined market share to 14.1 per cent.

Aldi, which has an 8.1 per cent share, is now rapidly catching up with Morrison's, which has slumped to under a tenth of the UK market.

The discounter has been luring middle-class customers by selling high-end products such as yellowfin sole and Aberdeen Angus steaks under the banner 'Luxury you can afford'.
