Tesco fricking Club Card / two tier pricing

The reason I asked if it was a bot response is because this is a chat forum not essay forum.

You should work on collating all your research / thoughts and making them succinct, taking into account the medium you are using (Mumsnet).

Is that one of those 'rules' that doesn't exist anywhere except in your own personal preference - like the ones that people randomly cite about men/non-parents/people from outside the UK supposedly not being 'allowed' on MN (or at the very least, 'not really supposed to' or being 'bad eggs' for participating), in spite of the site owners' frequent confirmations to the contrary?

Most people have thumbs, Page Down buttons or mouse wheels, so - just like all the entire threads (or even topics) that you simply ignore, because they don't interest you - there is no little dictatorial imp sitting on your shoulder and forcing you to read anything you don't want to.

Personally, I would prefer a long, well-considered post from somebody who is actually engaging with the thread any day rather than the 300th pithy "Cancel the cheque!" from all the Captain Obviouses who don't bother to read any further than the thread title (if even that) before wading in with their nugget of wisdom.

Lol

I thought it was interesting. Thank you @DiaNaranja.

Jesus you have too much time on your hands, I'm so glad I'm not behind you!

I'm not sure how much your batshit crazy decisions make a difference!

I noticed that Boots and Waitrose are doing this now too.

Sainsbury’s and boots do it too.

i’m convinced the card holders get the real price and everyone else gets scammed

I have all the cards in my apple wallet now. Is fine.

You were wrong!! Give over with the drama!! So Tesco club are price wins?

So Tesco is better value.....

You got it totally wrong?

🤣

I didn't! Your post was inaccurate on a couple of counts. Your inaccuracies are on you.

@DiaNaranja . if you don't use it, then you ARE paying the inflated prices,

Exactly.

I like it! Personally I couldn't be arsed to do that. You could always take it a step further and sign up with a fake name using a specially set up email address. Then you'd get to see first hand who they sell your details to.

I’ve started to split my shopping at Sainsbury into nectar and non nectar. I use the card for the discount on the reduced products and then put the rest through as a separate non nectar linked transaction with a different debit card.

Anything to screw up their data harvest.

Petty maybe but I really don’t care

No, it doesn't.

According to your link it means 'slightly dishonest or not telling the whole truth'. You can be dishonest by lying, but you can also be dishonest by not admitting to something or by allowing someone to think something other than the truth. Neither of those are lying, but they could both be described as disingenuous.

The word 'lying' or anything derived from it doesn't even appear as a synonym.

Not a "bot" thanks, and I'm not invested at all in any particular supermarket. Like I said, from working in a field that analyses and feeds back data across all the major retailers, this is the general consensus. Whether you believe it or not, people do like to save money, and when the price goes down at the till, they feel like they've got a good saving. Which is why retailers are now choosing to roll out new service skills, where checkout assistants are being prompted to tell the customer the "before and after price" when they scan their loyalty card, along with "if you'd used your nectar/clubcard today, you could have saved £££". It's a business model, and one that seems to be working well, increasing not just profits, but overall footfall, new customers, and more frequent custom from previous shoppers. I'm just stating what the data proves. For the minority that don't like the use of loyalty cards, there are many many more who do. And yeah, I'm sure they've got "important things to think about in their lives", obviously everyone does! That doesn't mean the price of a weekly shop doesn't matter at all, because there's "more important things", for some, it is actually very important. I'm just trying to point out the science behind why loyalty cards work, and why the big brands are adopting this approach. If you don't want a loyalty card, don't have one, but then don't moan that you don't get to reap the benefits of having one. Whether or not you think it's a con, and the prices are inflated to make the loyalty card seem better than it is, is beside the point... if you don't use it, then you ARE paying the inflated prices, or potentially causing yourself hassle having to shop elsewhere. Absolutely fine, no one cares, and the shops really REALLY won't miss you.

If you shop weekly then you want them to be good for the full week. I'd expect apples to last a few weeks in the house, and longer in a garage. If they weren't lasting I'd be wondering how old they were when I got them!

Tenner was the standard price that 1l Bailey's would drop to across all the supermarkets. This has been the case for years including even last year. But now this year you can only get it for a tenner if you have a clubcard or nectar card.

Why? Surely obvious. I searched and that was the cheapest that came up. I didnt know they were different sizes. Pretty obvious.

I wonder why you accused me of lying?

I didn't and I wasn't. I could be if I wanted to be, but I'm not going to.

You clearly said that £10 was the normal price (regardless of the sizing error). That was clearly wrong and I was curious why. 🤷‍♀️

It means partially lying. See the dictionary definition above. It is a middle class way of saying - you are a liar.

No, it's more akin to insincere. Not telling the whole truth, but not explicitly lying.

Thank you for all the recommendations to shop at ASDA or Ocado for Baileys.

However both ASDA and Ocado are actually charging £13 for a litre bottle (their £10 offer is for a smaller 70cl bottle) in comparison for the £10 Tesco Clubcard £10 for 1L.

All three list £22 as the original price for 1L.

And even if so inclined Ocado doesn't deliver in my part of Scotland.

Tesco Clubcard wins this one

Definition of disingenuous in Cambridge dictionary. It absolutely means someone is lying.

(of a person or their* behaviour) slightly dishonest, or not speaking the complete truth:*
It was disingenuous of her to claim she had no financial interest in the case.

I must have missed that. I only saw where you were called disingenuous.

Which isn't a synonym for lying.

Sorry but who buys apples that need to last more than a week ?
