Is the whole world doing their shopping at Tesco's today?

[Scunny Zeb]

Our Tesco's car park is empty

MInd you..it might be because the weight of snow has made the foyer roof colapse, forcing them to close for safety reasons.

No ........ at least half of the population was in Morrison's!

Managed to get back and do my shopping! Some of the shelves looked like a hurricane had been through them (Is everyone having Tesco's cheap chicken for Christmas this year?)
Anyway, got �95's worth of shopping and a Jinsters pastie for 30p from the cheapie counter to munch on my way home!

Only the ones who aren't having Sainsbury's Free Range! The shelves were stripped bare on Friday evening, but filled again on Saturday.

Think it's the panic-buying-for-a-seige mentality kicking in...

I thought I'd be clever and order online. I'm half way through my list and the booking slot isn't working, it just hangs then I get an error message

[Two_Sheds]

Right, got the order to go through, finished my basket. Went to checkout and ... the bladdy site won't accept my �6 off coupon

and now the Contact Us button ain't working

all the slots 22nd-24th Dec are full

Stuff it, I'm going to Morrisons

I got to my local co-op a about 10.30am yesterday (it's only around the corner) got some bread and milk (all I needed) plus a couple of lettuces for the chickens to munch on. All done in less than 30minutes.

Now contemplating clearing the drive or doing more Xmas shopping on-line.....

Not me - I boycott the place

We have been snowed for eight days now. As we live on the coast we don't normally get much snow but this year we have been well and truly hammered.
My son in law brought me shopping in his 4x4 on Friday. Went to Lidl and it was almost empty the roads are so bad. Only took about an hour in all. We are still snowed in at the moment with about 6 inches of frozen snow and black ice on the footpaths and no sign of a thaw.

That takes some beating, Bramble. I would definately have cabin fever after 8 days!!!

Hope it thaws for you soon!!

Nor me. I detest the company.

Whilst I do confess to using supermarkets, Tesco is not one of them (nor Morrissons).

I do prefer to use farmers markets, farm shops, independent butchers and greengrocers.

I do realise that we are extremely lucky to have them available.

I was at work today and I didnt think it was as busy as I thought it would be. No snow, no ice. Just steady stream of customers.

Took the ultimate sanction against Tesco for mucking us about with voucher exchange yesterday. Did our weekly shop at Sainsbury.

[SlugLobber]

Went earlier.........filled up with petrol........couldn't get parked at all, and this is a Hypermarket with thousands of parking spaces!

We were near a Tescos on Friday, and as I needed a bottle of wine for an evening with friends, we drove in. We saw all the peasants at the entrance and drove straight out. Neither I nor OH had the stomach for it, he he!
