Tesco

I read somewhere recently that Tesco took in one in every eight pounds spent in Britain across all their services and were the second biggest retailer globally. While these are scary statistics (or impressive depending one where you stand), it isn't too hard to see why. For one thing their shops are everywhere. Every corner shop seems to be turning into a Tesco metro or Tesco express and every town seems to have an out of town 'big' Tesco or Tesco Direct. This can also be seen as a good thing or a bad thing. They are providing cheap, easy access to groceries for everyone.

Tesco is currently the largest and most successful supermarket chain and retailer in the UK. It is only second to Wal Mart in the global stakes when basing its size and presence on profit. The Tesco stores contain a wide range of items and the range increases the larger the style of store you visit.

Tesco is one of the biggest chains in the UK. Usually I find their prices to be pretty competitive and usually a good selection!

Still I prefer Sainsbury's.

I am a regular shopper at Tesco these days. I used to swear by Asda, which did (and still does) seem to be cheaper. However, price isn't everything...

So, they're ...  Read the complete review
