    3 Stars TESCO - WE WERE LUCKY TO ESCAPE THIS ONE ALIVE! Review with images 25/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge Stores. Stores Everywhere. Fresh Food Quality. Clubcard

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Taking Over The World. Huge Stores, Some Badly Run.

    WHO ARE THEY? Tesco are simply the biggest grocery retailer in the UK, and by some margin. Unlike ASDA, Tesco is not just a chain of superstores or hypermarkets, they have now split their retail business into groups of shops of varying sizes: Tesco Extra - a full size hypermarket carrying a full range of food, groceries and non-food goods. Tesco - a traditional "supermarket" size store carrying food, groceries and some non-food products. Tesco Metro - a compact store almost exclusively food and groceries. These are to be found in town centres or may be attached to garage forecourts in almost ... more

    5 Stars TESCO - Awesome Giant! Review with images 18/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Clubcard, Great Value, Large Stores some 24hr, Convenient, Friendly Staff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Company too Big, Taking over, putting small shops out of business

    >------------------------------< TESCO STORES PLC >------------------------------< >---------------< Introduction >---------------< Tesco is one of the worlds largest companies, with supermarkets ranging the world over and products now far in excess of food and drink. To some, Tesco is a company that is too big for its boots, too powerful, and too manipulative over local areas. To an extent I am inclined to agree with them. Small shops which have been trading for decades, overhauled by the introduction of a large Tesco to the area. However, I am a huge fan of Tesco not just because I have a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Convenience

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Manyfold, but none outway the convenience

    When I first joined ciao, the first time around, my very first review was on Tesco, the store, simply because it was what I knew best, I have just reread it and it is amazing how my own view of the store has changed in the last 5 years, going from Tesco - the convenient place to shop, to Tesco - the root of all that is evil! I think particularly over the last couple of years as a nation we have become far more aware of the bully boy tactics used by the big corporate enterprises, and the food that we eat and our own local economy suffers considerably as a consequence. Tesco, it is estimated ... more

    Advantages Advantages Every Little Tescoette Helps Paul´s Tormented Soul

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of in-store giraffes!

    ORIGINALLY WRITTEN November 2000 I have been shopping at Tesco for the last couple of years. I usually buy groceries, as the frozen foods on offer though tasty seem to be on the expensive side. Prices are competitive compared to its rivals Sainsbury's and Safeway although this is a matter of swings and roundabouts. There is adequate parking space but obtaining a parking ticket for free parking upto 2 hours can be a pain. A few years ago Tesco was a food only store. How times have changed. As you enter the store on offer is a selection of newspapers, magazines, plants, mobile phones, atlases ... more

    I would just like to write on Tesco, based on some of the experiences that I have had of it over the past few years as a customer. Although you may not agree with everything that I have to say on them, this is the whole point of Ciao – to air ones own views, whilst still providing a reasonable account of the subject matter aswell. In writing this review, I intend to go about it in the following manner. First off, I shall give an explanation of the different forms of shop or store that Tesco currently provides. I shall then go on to give my general advantages and disadvantages of the company ... more

    5 Stars Extraa! Extraa! Tesco Trash The Town Review with images 29/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Plenty of choice

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cloned shopping

    We’ve just had a new Tesco built near us and I must say I do like it. It’s a big new store and has a huge range of stock. The construction of this new store caused some controversy locally as the old cattle market which has been part of the town for many years had to be demolished , which as you can guess caused a great deal of anger from the older residents of the town. The battle raged for months but eventually, as you would expect big business won out in the end and part of the towns heritage was lost forever. There was a lot of talk locally about boycotting the new store when it arrived ... more

    1 Star Do I DETesTco's well no not entirely 15/01/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good discounts,wide choice, location!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Im still going to go to Waitrose for my non-branded items!!!

    Good for branded foods like Branston products etc but not their own produce Ill stick to Waitrose!!!! Price; Okay yes Tesco is known to keep prices low yet Waitrose have begun to compare 1000s of every day brands and then price matching them so why go to Tesco???? Well I suppose Tesco do allot more buy one get one free though on good offers such as pizza and chocolate. I find that the price of Tesco is still generally cheaper than Waitrose. Tesco sell my favourite chocolates (Tesco Belgian seashells) for just £2.03!!!!! Value for Money; This seriously depends on what you buy in a superstore if ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well stocked, opening hours, prices, clubcard, good staff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Tasteless veggies, slow to gather trolleys

    As they are Britain's biggest retail company they do get their fair share of criticism, along with their arch rivals Asda, Morrison's & Sainsbury's they all get blamed for putting small shopkeepers out of business, giving a rough deal to their suppliers & land banking. However, as a mere man in the street on a pitiful wage I try not trouble myself with these problems, I have enough of my own. I hate food shopping & as my partner doesn't drive it means a weekly visit to the supermarket every week for the two of us to get it all over & done with. Just the other day I purchased a small carton of ... more

    Advantages Advantages Open 24 hours, good range under one roof, staff are helpful

    Disadvantages Disadvantages store is very big meaning a long walk if you are nipping in for a couple of things

    I decided to write this opinion on Tesco Extra in Aberdeen as it is a great store to do my shopping in. You can find everything under one roof, from DVD’s to bikes and food to financial services. Tesco Extra is the largest style of store, you may come across smaller Tesco Express or Tesco Metro stores. Extra Things you can find in a Tesco Extra Store Newspapers and Magazines – You will find an extensive collection of magazines here covering all types of interest from pets, to sports, photography and general interest such as New Woman or FHM. Cards and Giftwrap – Birthdays, Anniversarys, you ... more

    Advantages Advantages open 24hrs mon - sat 10 - 16:00 sun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages high priced - compared to budget shops

    I'm a dad - Moreover I'm a single dad - Now don’t stop and stare! I get that when I go to parent and toddler groups (normally mums and kids) I'm not brave I get scared when I go to these groups, but I do make friends which I sorely need as I work full time, baby sitting etc is high cost so whenever I can I get a friend to stop the night or have the boys sleep over with their friends. As you will imagine the time I spend with my 2 lads is very important to me: Bed time for the kids isn’t a chore (well it is if they don’t want to go to bed!) it's a time to bond with them, read them their ... more
