Always love it when on the news they report as awful news that Tesco profits have fallen for they quarter/ year as if we should be worried or upset. Err hang on profits fallen?? Does that mean us the cusomers are paying less?? They are charging less and making less profit on the things I buy? Well that's good news to me.
The one thing I would willingly pay more for is milk, shocking the way the supermarkets are driving dairy farmers to the wall by the prices we pay and they make a loss. Dozens packing it in, we will end up importing the stuff, ridiculous.

The fact that their profits can go up or down so much just shows you how wafer thin their typical operating margins are. Making £1bn off a £300bn turnover, or whatever their actual numbers are isn't ripping anyone off.

I am neither pro or anti Tesco, but instead of always looking to tear them down which is the typical British thing to do, it woud be refreshing if people acknowledged them as a example of a great British success story.

Anyway, if you don't like Tesco or anyone else, then just shop elsewhere. That's the beauty of competition!

Unfortunately the majority of people wouldn't pay more.

Supermarket food prices have been static for years because of intense competition, driving by consumer price consciousness.

If Tesco started changing an extra 20p a litre they would lose business.

Milk is one of the key products that consumers look at when deciding where to shop, as it is easily comparable from one retailer to another. Along with bread, cheese etc.
