Tesco value?

We don't normally use Tesco at all, apart from the occasional visit for something specific but my wife went there on a whim on Thursday and got the following: - 6 Pork chops, 10 Cumberland Sausages & 2 steaks - all for £10.

Of course the proof will be in the eating but I've worked for a butcher years ago so I do know a little bit about meat and the chops look fine, as do the sausages.

Steak - well it can be a let-down but a TENNER for the lot?!

We went back and got a Tesco Meal-Deal yesterday 'cos my wife fancied one in particular and we got it; main dish, side dish & sweet for two plus a decent bottle of Spanish wine for a TENNER too.

Again the proof will be in the eating but they all look pretty good and the wine's not bad either. stevmk2

M and S also do '3 for £10' the quantity in each pack may be less though but still good value.
Hope yours are tasty

Re: Tesco value?

When I first got married and had to live on what my husband earned, I remember going to a freezer centre and saw these Grade B chickens quite cheap. At that time, I didn't even know that chickens were graded but I bought it anyway - it only had one leg

I'm often a little wary of things that seem too good to be true but then I can be a cynical old so and so

Re: Tesco value?

Well as you say steve - the proof is in the eating - let us know what you think of the food, once tasted .....

Re: Tesco value?

I never buy beef in any form from Tesco here because it is rubbish. I used to buy pork there, but having raised our own pigs, I realised how tasteless Tesco pork was! The lamb isn't too bad, but the Co-oP's is better.

In fact, I buy very little fresh food from Tesco - even at bargain prices. I hope your bargain turns out a lot better than I can buy.

We swapped from sainsburys to Tesco last year and save a lot each month, their value tomato soup is lovely as are their 3 grain crackers. Loads of bargains compared to sainsburys and morrisons we found.

I still think our Asda has the best deals.

Re: Tesco value?

That's possibly true we would have to go to the other side of town and there is a little one there so it would cost more in petrol and they don't deliver so I can even get them to bring it to us.

Re: Tesco value?

I'll check how many legs on the sausages, chops & steaks and let you know ben!

We normally do our food shopping mostly at Aldi then ASDA but it was my wife's idea to check at Tesco but it's not something we're likely to do often.

Tesco is the nearest supermarket to where we live - easy walking distance but ASDA's not that far up the same road.

Aldi unfortunately means a car ride so that's why we 'do' Aldi then ASDA on the way home - normally.

One thing I noticed at Tesco though - it was very quiet!

We saw that ADSA's car park was much on our way over to Tesco but were surprised by just how quiet it was - and it is a large store. stevmk2

Re: Tesco value?

Tescos is always quiet when we go in too but I always put that down to the fact no many people around at 4am
