It reinforces that they are not more expensive for that product, it is called advertising

It seems to me this advertising strategy of Tescos immediately alienates a huge section of their customer base from the intelligent shopper to those who are struggling.

THE SAME PRICE as the competition, what the hell is the point to that? I want to see that you are CHEAPER than the competition NOT the SAME PRICE

Supervalu do the same thing, showing that they are matching prices with other supermarkets. Supervalu are a smaller shop so many would expect it to be more expensive.

Tesco might realise they also now have a reputation of being a more expensive supermarket. Personally I find them very cheap, but the rip-off Ireland forum has various threads about how much of a 'rip off' they are.

They may be the same price but the Lidl/Aldi quality is much higher.
Oh, apols going off topic

They are cheap, just there are a lot of expensive things you can get in there that you might like, compared to somewhere like lidl. I might go into lidl and spend a tenner, while I might spend 30 in tesco. They have a much bigger range of nicer things. Lidl may have cheaper fruit/chickpeas etc, but tesco have a lot of cheap things too.

In the small Tesco in Tralee, but in the meantime I've seen the same sign in the other store here as well. Probably nationwide.

Saw similar offers in Tesco in Mahon, there seemed to be alot of gluten free things reduced including bread, flour and biscuits.

Lots of Free From and other brand gluten free products very well reduced in Athlone this evening. Based on the gaps on the shelves these products are moving fairly quickly but still lots left on the shelf.

Saw them in Tesco Baggot Street too. Got the shortbreads and some brown rice pasta for 1.49€ or so. They also had some chocolate covered rice cakes, Tesco Free from chocolate cakes, Bjorg Chocolate Soya custards (89 cents for 4), some gluten free brown bread mix and a few more that I don't remember

1kg of Tesco own brand Frozen Cauliflower down to 54c, picked up a couple of bags in Mahon earlier.
Lots of the party things such as streamers/party bag gifts etc half price.
All the afore mentioned gluten free bargains also available but shelves emptying fast.

Thanks for the heads up managed to pick up some party stuff to put by for my girls partys now just need to put them somewhere safe so I dont actually forget about them.......again

they had 8 pack of party bags for 6c the large confetti things ( I believe thats the correct name ) for 12cent each and 3 packs of the smaller ones for 38cent also had 8pack pink/blue paper plates for 35 cent and pink/blue plastic table cloths for 45 cent. seen stickers up for the napkins reduced as well but they had none left in stock at my local tesco think these were 25 cent. also had some glow sticks reduced to 70 cent.
The ice fountain candles are down from 6 euro to 4 euro girl working there said she thinks they're gonna get reduced again for newer ones coming in so keep an eye out got them the last time they reduced them for 56 cent.

Cool tip for the glow sticks if you crack them and then open the stick and pour into a jar of water you have a really cool and fun looking center piece for table decoration. would advise putting the lid on the jar though to avoid spills or kids trying to stick their hands in it. also handy to put by for halloween to use instead of candles for the pumpkins.

Rolson Multi Tool & Pen Torch for €1.60 ! I bought mine at Tesco in Prussia Street,Dublin 7. This type of pen knife normally sells for around €20 + I found it next to the BBQ aisle. Selling out pretty quick so go get one !

Well I ordered
15 Fullers London Pride 4X500ml Cans and guess what? The genius that picked the order obviously couldn't get their head around the 4x500ml bit and sent me 15 cans. Driver refunded the money so I got the cans for free.

Vivanco flat screen cleaning system (for LCD, LED, TFT and Plasma screens) - contains soft brush, microfibre cloth and cleaning fluid.

Reduced a couple of times from €14.99 down to €9.89 on the shelf. Brought to register to be charged €4.93 today in Tesco Ballybeg (Waterford) - nice!

I emptied Mahon Point out of Fullers London Pride earlier, the lady on the checkout almost had a fit when I told her the price on the shelf was €1.99 for four
I also picked up a few 1L bottles of Captain Morgan for €20, the space on the shelf where they should be was empty but I noticed there was a good few hidden behind the 70cl bottles.

Just picked up a Russell Hobbs Brushed Steel two slice toaster in Tesco Tallaght for 15.00 euro:)
