I would far rather have sugar than aspartame!
Though both aren't good for you.

[thamestrader] 07/4/2018 14:50

Why not replace pop with diet pop, which presumably is not subject to sugar tax. Or at least allow people the option of either 500ml diet, or 375ml full sugar pop. But as suggested by loganair, the sugar tax is probably not the real reason.

Smaller bottles are bad too - although they contain only contain (say) 60% of the drink, they still use 90% of the plastic. (That's soon to be taxed too, I hear you cry!)

Coca cola have put their prices up for 'full sugar' 350ml (extra 8p) and 500ml (extra 12p) rather than reduce the sugar content. So to keep the meal deal price at £3.00 Tesco have gone with the 350ml bottle.

Next week'll be interesting !

I reality Tesco's have changed to the smaller bottle because it is cheaper and therefore they save money.

[philanderer] 07/4/2018 00:01

Just how many have they asked ? ;-D


'Tesco angers customers by making a change to its lunchtime meal deal'

Tesco has swapped its usual 500ml bottles of Coca-Cola and Pepsi for new 375ml bottles due to the sugar tax

Good finds sherlock philIf 14p divi then these will rocket to 3 quid very quickly. Even at 10p.Of all 4 big boys, Tesco seem best for recovery and share price gain.

When I was young 'ordinary' people didn't drink wine, it was beer cider pop or water, wine was for the 'posh' :-)

[loganair] 06/4/2018 10:26

The next thing I would like to see is the amount of alcoholic content of drinks reduced.

When I was young the average white wine was 9% and red 10.5% alcoholic content whereas today it seems for white wine is 11% and red 13%.

Nice find phil

That sugar tax has probably already done its job, there seems to be an abundance of sugar free soft drinks on the shelves and very few sugary ones.

My old friend who's a regular Lidl shopper hasn't been able to buy proper lemonade for months, it's all 'diet'.

PhilYes now let's see what Aldi and Lidl do with their cheap fizzy drinks.

[philanderer] 05/4/2018 18:23

The sugar tax on soft drinks will hit consumers from Friday but health campaigners have hailed the extent of reformulations that will see many brands escape the levy.

Tesco has reformulated all of its own-label soft drinks to come in below the threshold for the levy, claiming the changes have cut more than nine billion calories from customers’ diets every year, as have Morrisons, Asda and The Co-op.

[toon1966] 05/4/2018 10:43

Is that a question or a statement? Either way

[gswredland] 05/4/2018 07:56

Hi guys
Tesco report next week?

[vaneric1] 04/4/2018 18:22

Re the post I made earlier, Lidl in Coleford, it looks as though there's going to be a Germany v Germany battle over this.

Aldi already have a plan for a new supermarket just up the road due to be before the planners this/next week, Lidl have objected, Aldi have objected to Lidl's plan, Lidl told the councillors that if they let the Aldi plan go ahead Lidl will withdraw from the town.

Germans threatening planners? I wonder how that will go down.

Tesco and Morrisons outpace the rest of UK's big four supermarkets, Kantar data reveals:


Discount grocers Aldi and Lidl are continuing to disrupt the market with sales outperforming Britain's four largest supermarkets.

Tesco and WM Morrison Supermarkets sales growth continued to outpace the rest of the UK’s so-called ‘big four’ supermarkets in the 12 weeks to March 25, according to industry data.

For the 12 weeks ended March 25, Tesco's sales grew 2.4% to £7.32 billion, while its market share was unchanged at 27.6%.

Morrison Supermarkets sales rose 2.4% to £2.77 billion but its market share slipped to 10.4% from 10.5% the year earlier.

Sainsbury market share fell to 15.8% in the latest survey from 16.1%, with sales increasing 0.6% to £4.19 billion, Kantar reported.

Asda saw its market share slip 15.6% from 15.8%, while sales rose 1.8% to £4.15 billion.

The market share of upmarket retailer Waitrose was largely unchanged at 5% from 5.1%, while sales rose 1.5% to £1.33 billion, Kantar said.

Discounters continued to outperform the 'big four' with sales at Aldi and Lidl up 10.7% and 10.3% respectively.

Meanwhile, Aldi and Lidl continued to gain market share. Aldi's sales rose 11% to £1.94 billion and its market share increased to 7.3% from 6.8%. Lidl's sales grew 10% to £1.42 billion and its market share rose to 5.3% from 5%.

“Aldi and Lidl are continuing to disrupt the market,” said Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar.

“As the discounters proceed with the expansion of their store portfolios, over the past 12 weeks 63.5% of all households visited at least one of the retailers.”

Grocery inflation eased back to 2.5% over the period from the 2.9% reported by Kantar in March.


Separately, a survey by Nielsen Homescan also showed Aldi and Lidl's market share growing. For the 12 weeks ended March 24, Aldi's market share has risen to 8.7% from 8.0% for the comparable period ended March 25, 2017, while Lidl's has risen to 5.8% from 5.3%, Nielsen reported.

According to Nielsen, Tesco's market share has dropped to 27% in the 12 weeks ended March 24 from 27.1%, while Sainsbury's fell to 15% from 15.4%, Asda's fell to 13.9% from 14% and Morrisons' fell to 9.8% from 10%.


Why are Nielsen's figures so different to those of Kantar's???

Nielsen give Aldi and Lidl's combined market share of 14.5% while Kantar give 12.6% while giving the big 4 market shares lower than those given by Kantar.
