"I'm not sure. I'm hope it'll be a good thing but I don't know why they have to have a whole new supermarket. Why not just run the Jacks products next to the standard Tesco ones? Because that will undermine the Tesco brand " I could understand that if they weren't planning on opening some stores next to existing Tesco stores. | |||

"Just means they now sell us even cheaper shit. Makes you wonder why they don’t just drop their prices in their main stores and save the overheads. P.s. we don’t shop at Tesco" It undermines the brand name.. Burberry and the other big brands burn their stuff and not sell it on discount | |||

"Tesco tried introducing a budget range within their stores and it didn't work. Jacks will be a direct competitor for the likes of Aldi and Lidl. They will use it in the same way as you would a "loss leader" then when the competition has been eradicated, close it and take the market share." Same to what Amazon did to Flipkart in India | |||

"Guarantee it fails big time, why would you buy poor quality at Aldi prices." I have no idea what the quality will be like, but I find a lot of Lidl quality to be very poor, things like so called free range eggs with fragile shells which is down to poor diet for the chickens, possibly because they are not free in a field, and duck breast that is 90% fat. Some products are good, but a lot are poor quality or not as cheap as the main stores. As mentioned above cottage pie with 10% beef etc. Pizza with artificial cheese and other marketing tricks to sell inferior product in good packaging. I am lucky enough not to care about cost, but do like time, so small supermarkets with limited choice suit me but the quality is dropping which doesn't. | |||
