They are selling a large standard Chicken at £3.50 tesco.com/gro…232,
Why should be illegal? If their price is high, people will get it from somewhere else where is cheaper. We don't live in a communist country where you're forced to do what you don't want. We do have regulator and legislation in place. We want it cheap, but we complain about the conditions in the farm, we expect organic, we expect the chicken to be taken outdoors, to eat grass and so on. This costs money. The supermarkets need to have a RRP, otherwise how will they have sales and discounts. It is up to us, the consumer, if we want cheaper, we don't buy, and they will have to reduce the price. But if it is cheap, we should not expect great quality.
I'd agree however Tesco play fast and loose with the rules. They continuously discontinue and introduce the same products on a weekly basis, to circumvent consumer legislation. This means that they can have thousands of "special offers" on the go - giving an illusion of value to the customer.
Here is a startling example on the site at the moment
No, just scan your clubcard.
Just picked one up (1.8kg). As an added bonus also got 950g pack of tomorrow's dated British Chicken Breasts reduced from 5.00 to 3.50 (edited)
Am I missing something? One is a brand name and one is an own brand. It's almost like Aldi's comparison advert
Only price reductions are "deals" if they didn't inflate the RRP how exactly are they supposed to fool anyone?
Are you sure it's "made up"? Not all meat costs the same. Quality and welfare make a big difference to the price, hence why Aldi and other race-to-the-bottom retailers are so cheap. It's usually a case of profits above ethics, and it disturbs me that people are so intent on saving 50p here, £1 there, that they couldn't care less what farm their food comes from, or how the animal was treated in life and in death.
Was about to type pretty much the same price as Aldi
Just watched a Channel 5 program tonight, called 'Supermarket offers - Are they worth it?'. Quite an eye opener.
I picked up one weighing in at 1.73KG, more than enough for a family of 4.
Yes. Once they go over 1.7kg then I would say you can call them large. But when you can buy chicken drumsticks for £1.25 per kilo then this deal isn’t so great. As for the “original” price... oh p
To be fair the photographer hasn't got it's best angle has he/she? The one in my fridge looks far more appealing
But thats what they do all, and not only the supermarkets. Even at electronics. They double up the price for a week, a completely unrealistic price so nobody will buy. This way they meet the legal requirements and after that they reduce it by 50%. Which is probably the realistic price. They generate sales that will cover the period they didn't sell any, as well a few months ahead.
Yes, because that is a cast iron guarantee that those chickens will have had a great life

It should be illegal to inflate a price ,to then half it . The larger size are £3.50 so how on earth can a smaller size be £5?
Yep because the larger size is cheaper .. these were never £5
Aldi have far less variety , bulk buy what they do sell hence lower prices .
Most of Aldi dairy is Arla , Aldi filtered milk is arla cravendale at £1.09 . (edited)
Same brand? From the same producer? Bigger does not means better. Maybe next week the larger size will be £5 as well, they can't put everything on sale at the same time. A 40 inch TV is cheaper than a 32 inch TV. You can buy 6 pork pies for £1, or 4 for £2, 6 free range eggs for £1, or 10 for £0.89. I've seens jeans in a well known shop, £12 for 1 pair, or £25 for 2 pairs...
