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...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

  Working for Tesco

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

...them, and if you leave them in the trust for 5 years, you won't have to pay tax on them. Pension Scheme - You can join the pension scheme regardless of how long you have worked at Tesco. You pay in 4% of your pre-tax earnings, and Tesco pays in more than twice this amount on your behalf. The scheme also gives you the option to take out a tax-free lump sum on retirement, and pays a pension to your partner and any dependant children in the case of your death before retirement. Life Assurance - Even if you are not a member of the pension scheme, as an Tesco employee you are covered by life assurance, which means that if you die whilst employed by Tesco, the person you nominate will receive a lump sum payment equal to your annual earnings. If you are in the pension scheme, the payment will be 3 times your annual earnings. Those detailed...

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...

chho choo lets play with our tesco wooden train

Advantages: cheaper than brio
Disadvantages: nearly as good as brio

...by Tesco and has a few special trains by Brio. I think the tesco train set is quite well made and will last several childrens play and when my grand children have finished playing with it I think it will be put away for my great grandchildren as it is a classic toy and will still have play value in 20 years time. This train set will encourage imaginary play, and co-operative play between siblings. This set will encourage language development if you play with your child push the train along, under, over, stop and start the engines. The set will help develop spatial awareness, as you need a large free space on the floor to spread out the train on. It is possible just to make a small circle for the table, but its not so much fun. This set will develop building skills arranging the best track system. There are trees and stations...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

tesco citrus zest room fragrance

Advantages: cheap,smells nice
Disadvantages: none

...whilst doing my weekly shop i decided to buy some airfreshener,i dont usualy bother i just burn scented candles.but as my cat had just had 5 kittens and my house wasn't smelling too good so eventualy i settled on tesco citrus zest. *packaging* it comes in a 300ml can which is a lovely orange and yellow colour (mostly orange )with a faint flower design on the front.this can has a press down spray button which reaches higher places. *the product* this is what tesco say on the can"this lively,zesty fragrance has been specially selected to neutralise malodours and bring a citrus twist of freshness into your home". this is very true it makes your house sell so fresh and does help with bad smells.when i brought this i did think the smell might be a little too strong as im not really a citrus person i normaly go for vanilla sents...

Review of Tesco Citrus Zest Room Fragrance

All aboard the Tesco train

Advantages: Cheap, well made, compatible with other brands
Disadvantages: none i can see

...I have 6 young nephews all are train mad and the all have the ELC train sets. You know the ones I mean wooden tracks and engines that cost a fortune. Well come Chritmas and birthdays buying for them all is a nightmare so i usually end up getting them additions to their trainsets but find the early learning ones a bit pricy, a single engine is around £5 and a set of 4 wooden people will se you back £4. So while doing me grocery shopping I decided to stop off at the toy secion in Tesco to see if there was anything suitable for nephew who was turning 3 years old. It was here I discovered that Tesco do a wooden train set which is compatible with other brands. After very close inspection I decided it looked just as good quality as the ELC and for a fraction of the price. On this occasion I bought a zoo train which included an engine, 3...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

Tesco supermarket

Advantages: A wide variety of well priced goods
Disadvantages: Toilets maybe need cleaning a little more often

...Tesco plc over the years has become a household name. A gentleman by the name of Jack Cohen who hailed from East London founded the company in 1919. The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924,when Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from T.E.Stockwell..he combined the first three letters of the name (TES) along with the first tow letters of his own surname (CO ) and formed the word `Tesco`.

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...

Review of Tesco

Tescos.....No Thanks

Advantages: Smells great the first few hours
Disadvantages: See Opinion

...This is the first product I bought out of the Tescos own house hold item and last as it didn’t completely live up to my expectations. I bought this product to use in my pedal bin as the disposal of cat food and dog food and various other smell bits and bobs it gave my bin a very distinctive smell, a smell I didn’t want. I thought it would be okay to use in my pedal bin as it has a sticky on the back, which I thought would allow it to stick to plastic. I have to say that they were quite cheap with them being in a twin pack for about £1.09 but if you use them like me in your bin they will only end up falling in the bag and you chucking them out so its not worth the bother. Tescos Citrus Zest Stick on room fragrence comes in a small box coloured yellow and orange with a flower on the front. The actual freshener is...
