    Not surprising. Tescos are making a fortune here.

    ‘Treasure Island’ is what Tescos called Ireland some years back. Making an absolute mint here with their astronomical prices.

    @S: they’re not charging any more than any of their rivals. Best best is to shop around them all for the best value.

    The large supermarkets are slowly forming a cartel, the discount stores included. They are all about price matching not price beating. Very little difference between any of them.

    @Sean Higgins:

    Yeah I only said that last night. They should be beating them and not matching them. The same with Harvey Norman with their ads saying they’ll match but if they couldn’t beat in the first place then I’d prefer to buy whatever it was at the original lower price with who offered it.

    Anyone else notice the obvious price differences for the same items between their Express and bigger stores? I wonder if it’s the same in the UK.

    @Simon Eales: Yes. Can confirm. Tesco express and others express stores always charge more. I assumed they were franchises.

    @Simon Eales: Kinda makes sense cause isn’t Tesco Express just a glorified centra? It’s just a convenience store.
