I must stock up. I use the Tesco finest chilli oil all the time, it's delicious and I'm just about to run out! Hope it's on special in my local Tesco. Does anyone know if the garlic one is nice?

I think it was just a joke about the products being 'deranged'. Deranged = mad.

Relax!

Had a look in Tesco in mahon and didn't see any of the things I wanted reduced (including crunchy nuts, cooking chocolate, tooth paste, washing detergents) Could the reductions be specific to extra stores or something? I did get pack of 5 good quality tea towels for 81c and some reduced to clear foodstuffs so not a wasted journey!

Depends on what the store dose with there deranged stock, personally I shift it from the warehouse ASAP as it take up space I could be using. Other stores have an iffy approach as in its permanently green crated wrote off and left to go out of date. Again instead of Tesco targeting this mad waste of money, they just go for cutting back on staffing levels again impacting even more on the money wasting activities stores engage in. Another waste of money is ex promotion stock once the promotion is over in some stores its green crated and left untouched until its out of date or wrote off the system. Again instead of targeting issues like this they rather cut back on staff, I feel sorry for customers Tesco has some great policies that would work really well and drive trade, great offers and make it a different shopping experience. Instead area and regional managers cut back on the allowed spend for various processes, task and routines just to look good on paper. It aggravates me because I see all the complaints people have about been over charged, shops in ribbons, unclean and demotivated staff.

Stores should have a deranged and delisted bay for each department with the listed stock above stocked in it. Instead, area managers won't allow bays to be allocated to deranged and delisted stock as they take away from normal bays with products in it.

So apologies if you can't find the stuff listed above, it shouldn't but it sadly dose vary from store to store what you may find. Makes it worse it's more than likely out the back sitting in a green crate left to go to waste !
