not the cost of a mediumshop.

people who can't read might've not understood that bit.

sorted.

but in saying that, it's a bit shit. Last night I went to the Morrisons because the tesco's bread is utter garbage.

Why am I replying to this thread?

Tesco is pretty rubbish

YES!

I did recently work out that I spend more on alcohol than I do on rent+bills most months, that was fun.

My visits back home to Kent probably result in about an annual £150 to Tesco though

so really it's only occasional bottles of pop, newspapers and, until recently, cigs while i'm out and about. without the fags it's probably less than £100 a year

I find their hummous range lacking and the state of the quail egg section is, frankly, disgusting.

Live nearer to an ASDA. Occasionally get lunch there but prefer M&S (10 indie points), so maybe £200?

There's one next to work where I usually buy my breakfast on the way in in the morning, and pick up ingredients for dinner on the way out. And I do this every day, yet still haven't bothered with one of those loyalty card things. I'd have probably earned a free car by now.

Actual estimate: £8 per day x 5 [weekdays] = £2,080.

That's halved with my lesbian life partner, so £1,040 per year

I try to avoid them

so about £1200.

Nearer to 5 Gees if you count petrol.

But I can't claim any indie points, it's just because the only one near me is a shitty metro, whereas there's a big Morrisons up the road and 2 big Sainsburys within a 5 minute bus ride.

When I lived in both Bethnal Green and Hackney central I shopped at Tesco, it was horrible though - both those stores are far too small for the areas they served and were always hellishly busy

So gets my dinnertime trade most days. Will also occasionaly pick something up for my tea in there if I know the cupboards are bare Do the big shop in Asda, but will occasionaly pop into Tesco for a sandwich or bottle of pop etc if Im out or about.

Hmm, lets do figures.

I'm going to allow for the occasional non visit, and give Tesco £2 a day on average over 5 working days, for 47.5 weeks a year. Thats £475. I'll balance out, and say on top of that, I probably spend a miscellaneous fiver in there 49 weeks of the year. So thats £245. Which gives a grand Tesco total of £720 a year. Thanks for your time.

About £2820.00

But then I might pop in for a few extras as well. So probably best rounding it up to £3000

There are no Tescos near me.

Near work we have two Sainsbury's and a Waitrose, near home we have a mini Sainsbury's or a big Sainsbury's or a big Waitrose.

Occasionally go into one for a sandwich if I'm 'out and about'.

down the road we have an M&S, Sainsburys and Waitrose I'd need to head a bit further out to get to a tesco's.

Enough.

pretty much the only place i go save a weekend M&S treat so i'd say 2.5k easy

when you say the word Tesco over and over it starts to freak you out

Cheers

there isn't a big Tesco near me and i purposefully avoid the little ones because they all sell the same particularly processed, boring, lowest common denominator food.

Only thing i ever buy from there is the Weston's 8% cider because i'm an alcoholic

got three or four mini supermarkets right near me, so it's a bit of variety
