    The caption at the end states “Crossed out prices were charged in many Tesco stores INCLUDING STEVENAGE” Why single them out? Did the town have a reputation for ripping people off or something? Was their Tesco sh*t?? Who knows!!!

    You,ve not heard of Tescos??..Oh, give it time pal, they are bloody everywhere. If they could pave the channel we would have a frigging Megastore between us and France, believe me.

  3. rgfgfv says:

    The funny thing is they still reduce their food by 2p at a time

  4. ZoanthropicParanoia7 says:

    I’m gathering Tesco is in England? I’m in the states & have nver heard of it. But I see Pedigree dog food had brand called “Chum.” That’s hilarious, I’m thinking the stuff they lure sharks with. You open the can (tin) and it’s all fish heads, intestines, scales, and blood.

    one opened near holloway road north london a FEW DAYS AGO.

    7pm on a saturday night theres 6 tills and only 2 of them open and q’d for 5 minutes.

    this video is when tescos prices were reasonably fair

    Tescos = piss takers of customers and prices

  11. buttershex says:

    Fuck tesco, i live in Nottingham and we have 7, count them 7!!! just in the city centre. I wouldnt be surpirised if there were 100 in Nottinghamshire alone…

    No fucking need…

  12. HGbunny says:

    Eew, from how you and the other folks above describe it, it sounds a lot like our WalMarts over here across the pond!

  13. abhard6 says:

    Why are some people on here so fucking thick!!!

    Back in 1982 wages were a lot lower so these prices were not cheap! also the early 80′s were a tough time millions unemployed, people forget how hard times could be back then.

    However love to go back to 1982, was only 10 back then, but I was lucky my family were quite well off, but millions were not!

    the girl singer on this ad is Clare Torry who also sang with Meatloaf ,Tangerine Dream & Shriekback……….

  16. bollockowithalob says:

    Ha! You have a top memory.

  17. daffybint321 says:

    Our store in winchester has has a huge refit and its now a tesco extra. Full of extra shite.

  18. wildenfree says:

    @HGbunny lol…actually the supermarket called Asda is much much worseI think Walmart controls that as well.
    However we are such a small Island and these bloody things are everywhere now.

  19. UKSazzy67 says:

    I’m rushing down to my local Tescos at those prices!

  20. wildenfree says:

    Oh yeah..I remember that flavour, whatever happened to hazlenut yoghurts!!!!!!!

  21. nistec says:

    80 pg tips tea bags 59p, they are now 98p or something for 40!!

  22. mrspivvy says:

    @buttershex It’s the same everywhere. there are 20 in Cardiff alone. Tecso are of the mindset that if you are going to spend money, they want to make damn sure you spend it with them. but what happens when there isnt any competition left?

  23. Homeandawayeps says:

    god half of these things are a con in price now

  24. 573W1E6R1FF1N says:

    This adverts soundtrack reminds me of

    SUPERMARKET SWEEP :D I loved that show

  25. mrspivvy says:

    @HGbunny Yes, you are correct, Tesco are intent on world domination. they now have a presence in Europe and are trying to break into the US as well. Although the UK is a small Island, £1 in every £7 spent here is with Tesco. not content with a supermarket in every town, they have sometimes up to 20. They are the killer of high street small business.
