...beauty salons?
I remember the company saying they were going to do this in selected stores. I found an article dated 2011 announcing plans but heard nothing after
www.thegrocer.co.uk/companies/tesco-to-open-70-beauty-salons-this-year/215304.article

I had a dream last night that I was sat in a chair having my hair done in Tesco LOL

I wish they would concentrated their efforts on restoring quality and good service in their core business, which I was under the impression was selling groceries.

Tesco sees new fall in profits

Troubled supermarket Tesco has seen a further big fall in profits as it struggles to turn its business around.

Underlying profits for the first half of its financial year were £354m, 55% down on the same period last year, when it made £779m.

Its pre-tax profit was £74m, compared with a loss of £19m for the same period a year ago.

UK like-for-like sales were down 1.1% in the second quarter an improvement from the first quarter's fall of 1.5%.

International sales were up 1%, but the group warned price deflation was still having a detrimental effect.

Good for you FP, I wish they'd send me one to do!

I'm enjoying shopping around more now, but the weekly £30 delivery was just right for me during the month, and stopped me overspending. I guess that answers why they raised it.

I haven't bothered since, I mostly go to Lidl now for the few bits I need mid-month.

That was something that was asked- did I shop more with them after the increase or go to other shops as well? I told them I spent less and went to other places.I save up the big heavy things like bottles and cat food and do less shops with them.

Do you think supermarkets take a blind bit of notice? I've been complaining about the way Ocado deliveries are packed ever since I started using them - ie 12 bottles of beer and 4 tins of beans on top of a packet of biscuits in one bag and a copy of the RadioTimes on its own in another!

"It's the way the warehouse is laid out......." say the drivers.

Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

I do one bulk delivery shop a month then top that up with a weekly visit. It suits me. I store things like cat food and drinks for the month in the garage.

We've got good drivers/delivery guys too. They leave us with the plastic crates which they stack in the garage. and we hand them the empty ones from last month. Its quick for us and them.
