'Tesco teams up with charity to tackle food waste'

I was referring to the court case.

[vaneric1] 24/1/2019 10:13

If you think back you will find that Tesco actually reported themselves for the mis-reporting.

Heads should be rolling at the SFO and CPS.

How much taxpayers money has been wasted here ??

[alphorn] 23/1/2019 12:11

It was a strange case - not obvious to me at the time.

A former director of Tesco has said he should never have been charged after being acquitted of fraud at the supermarket chain.

Carl Rogberg also questioned why Tesco had agreed two years ago to a fine for overstating its profits in 2014.

On Wednesday he was acquitted of the charges, which date back to 2014.

UK supermarkets switching some food buying from EU27 food producers to US and non EU, says a #Davos2019, as a “hedge” against hard or no-deal Brexit - which is making serious dent in sales of EU food businesses. Just one manifestation of economic effect of possible no-deal

Surely this is a matter for the Bangladesh government and the pay should not be mentioned without reference also to the cost of living, 35p per hour might be a good rate compared to others in the community, they do have a minimum wage rate considerably less than the pay set for the garment industry.

Poor performing supermarkets today.

I've noticed food prices nudging up across the board in the last few weeks :-S

[yf23_1] 18/1/2019 22:56

Margin, mahjong, little markups can't be wrong.
cus if you want convenience just because you'e lazy,
the prices confronting you will be really crazy.

Express is not Tesco mainstream its all about corner shops etc ,anyway they are just to small .

I suspect Tesco are not rolling out their new own-label stuff to the Express outlets.

Been monitoring mine and in the last few months its got to the point where I'm just going to put more in my Aldi basket, instead of using the convenience of the Tesco Express.

No more own label ground coffee. Minimum is £3-70 posh stuff, which is no better than the £1-90 stuff at Aldi.
No more own label cornflakes at about £1.30 - just Kelloggs at £2.95.
The list goes on. The result is inevitable as I'm sure shoppers, even the convenience shoppers are not stupid.

This is just optimisation of margins by running optimised products, which gets them out of the problem of different pricing in different areas. After all, if you don't stock the same things...
