Pea Please... Tesco Garden Peas

Advantages: Good Price, Last well in the freezer, good for use with many dishes.
Disadvantages: Secure the bag or they will spill into the freezer!!!

...I have found myself recently tending to use a lot more packets of peas whilst cooking meals. Where before I tended to use them when cooking a traditional roast dinner, I have found myself now adding them to a variety of dishes such as cottage pies, curry and Balti dishes as well as a simple accompaniment to meals. I used to buy the Tesco value range of peas and just keep a bag that would last a while in my freezer but on a recent shop I discovered that there were none left so I 'upgraded' to the Tesco Garden Pea bag! This range of peas is available in 2 different sizes. There is the 1kg bag which will cost you £1.48 or there is the slightly larger bags which will set you back £2.52. I think the size decision is not only down to money but how much room you have in your freezer, as I have limited space I decided to opt...

Peas please Louise

Advantages: taste good
Disadvantages: non e

...Peas please Louise, I often have a packet of Tesco frozen garden peas in my freezer. I think the packaging must have changed since this category was added as it is not such a lush green pack anymore. The product the same just Tesco has updated the pack These garden peas are available in 1kg pack and in a 1.8kg bag. The 1kg bag costs 1.63, the 1.8kg bag £2.82 (£1.57 per kg) so if you have room the bigger bag works out cheaper. I find a bag of peas handy to keep in the freezer as I can easily use as many as I need at any time. Peas are often the vegetable that will be eaten by children. (except my grandson ) Peas go well as a vegetable accompaniment to most meals. These Tesco garden peas are good ones, not hard bullet and tasteless. They are a fairly good bright green maybe not the smallest and sweetest frozen pea, but...

  Working for Tesco

Advantages: Good pay, great benefits package
Disadvantages: Crap uniform, crap managers

...Ok, first of all, I'd just like to mention, this is a looooooooooooong review, so if you're not actually interested in reading about Tesco as an employer, then I'd suggest you don't bother as it will take some patience to get through! When I left school at the age of 18, and having decided I couldn't be bothered with university, I suddenly had to face the big bad world and go and find myself a job. I wasn't really fussy about what job I did - I've never been ambitious, and simply wanted a job where I could go to work, do my job, come home and not have to think about it. As our local Tesco is just 5 minutes away, I decided to apply there. I wrote a letter requesting an application form, and a few days later received a lovely letter and the form I had asked for. I read through the form and thought, wow, I don't know how to answer...

Tesco trains

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: As good as original brands

...Santa bought my four year old the lovely mountain train set made by tesco. He desperately wanted a train set and when we were in Toysrus we would look at the brio sets and then look around the other toys. It was not unitl near to Christmas that I actually decided to look at the price. I was horrified to discover how expensive brio train sets were. I looked in several other shops ELC etc but they too were too expensive. I found a cheap set in ASDA but it did not seem to be compatabile with brio or even near to the quality, so I decided not to buy the train set from there either. When we were shopping in Tescos my son pointed out the train sets and took a real interest in a lovely mpuntain train set which had had a wooden train set, a little bridge, wooden animals, trees, tunnels, trains, carriages,sign and mountains all for £24...

In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...

Tescos

Advantages: Great Value
Disadvantages: Puts local businesses under stress

...Tescos is King of all supermarkets and I think that they are best for value in the long term or in the big shop as well. As a student I have found that the tesco down the road from me is my new home, as opposed to the Centre up the road that can be so expensive some times in comparison. Tescos sells your average grocerys as well as dvd's and electricals, clothes, office supplies, tobacco and confectionary, alcohol, cards for special occassions and toys. Everything you need seems to almost be in one store, there is also a tesco value line that provides Tescos own products at a cheaper price. The staff in Tescos are always friendly where I come from in Cookstown, they always help you find something if your not quite sure where it is and always strike up a pleasant conversation at the help desk, though I understand that some...

TESCO

Advantages: Friendlly people, easy job
Disadvantages: pay,staff benefits

...Having worked for Tesco at some point I have an employee and also a customer's perspective. I was employed when I was 16; it started off as part time work because I was at college. This suited me because my hours were convenient, the pay was good - above the minimum wage, overtime was available at the drop of a hat and it was a really easy job. For a young person the training was a breeze - everything was easy to pick up and the local store where I worked had friendly older women to guide me through all the millions of questions I asked. (Best way to learn - asking all the questions under the sun) I was initially trained on checkouts - the system was old but manageable and the main focus was being polite to your customer, offering to pack their bags, building rapport and of course SMILING. TESCO do monthly checks on you...

TESCO - Awesome Giant!

Advantages: Clubcard, Great Value, Large Stores some 24hr, Convenient, Friendly Staff
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 large 24hr Tesco at the end of my road but also I am in favour of the huge range of products and services that Tesco provide and the jobs that it brings to the local area. Clearly this review has the potential to go on forever, but please...

The Spice Garden - No Garden, Plenty of Spice

Advantages: Light airy conservatory, pleasant service, good value for money
Disadvantages: Nothing out of the ordinary

...Another week brought another visit from my hungry curry-loving colleague Joep. I had no plans for the evening and asked if he wanted to have dinner. His eyes lit up; "Can we have curry?" he asked excitedly. And so at around 6.30pm we left the office to go in search of a new curry restaurant that we'd not tried before. I'd spotted the Spice Garden on my way to work that morning and decided that this time it would get our custom. The world (well the UK anyway ? and India, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc?..you get what I mean) is full of curry restaurants and in the middle of a recession we should spread our pennies around and try to support a new one each time until we run out or get food poisoning. I got lucky and found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. It's on New Chester Road in Bromborough, about a mile off the M53, close...
