Tesco profits

The UK's biggest supermarket chain said pre-tax profits hit £2.3bn, up from £882m, while sales rose by 4.4% to £68.2bn in the year to 24 February.

So, sales up by just over 4% whilst profits up nearly three-fold. Is it just me or do I detect rip-off Britain at work here, under the cover of "inflation"?

Why shop at Tesco's then ?, there are other options, including CostCo, ASDA, Coop, Splott market. Lidl / Aldi my goto places when in the UK. Compare the UK to Spain and you will notice how much you are getting ripped off - and how willingly people are allowing themselves to be ripped off.

You have have choices and options, you cant blame Tesco for trying to make money - they are a business - and you are the victim - shop elsewhere. If you dont you are thick - and that is just what they want. Thick customers who cant think for themselves and are willing to give Tesco all your spare cash / credit

I remember as a kid going down Bessemer road market on Sunday mornings. I presume they still have the car boot market there ? - not been down there for a very long time.

I haven't shopped in Tesco's for over 20 years since the accounting scandal at the time and the arrogant attitude of the directors.
