Talking of supermarkets

Which I was on the last post, we decided to do our weekly shop at Tesco instead of Morrisons.

The reason being because we get Tesco Clubcard points when we pick up bits and bobs at the Tesco Express on our estate and reasoned that, instead of continuing to do the weekly shop at Morrisons simply due to the supermarket being the closest to us, we should at least take advantage of the few pounds off we receive every now and then in vouchers for Tesco.

So off to Bletchley we toddled, passing the giant Asda/Wal-Mart on the way (Which having shopped in there once, i've decided is completely shite and to be avoided at all costs) and the football stadium under construction (Coming along very nicely by the way) to experience a shop under Tesco's roof.

It wasn't bad either, which I suppose is the best you can say of a weekly grocery shop even if the supermarkets themselves would like you to believe it's a pleasurable experience.

We got to use the 'extra points' vouchers we had too and racked up a couple of hundred points in the process, thereby gaining us more £££'s off vouchers in the future. Being right-on environmentally-concious consumers, we also took along some old carrier bags to re-use and got a 'Green' point for each one (10 in total).

Now, I know there are people who can't stand these ClubCard style schemes and view them as an initiative aimed solely at conning you into spending more money on things you don't want (As well as being an awful Big Brother scheme to garner personal information), but as long as you avoid buying stuff you don't need then you're alright. Same principle applies to the BOGOF and 2 for 1 offers.

Either way, a saving of a few quid once in a while is no bad thing and something that we need to do quite honestly.

This public service announcement for Tesco now ends.
