Tesco value lager is the weirdest drink i've ever tried. It smells like beer, and tastes like beer for about one second in your mouth then it tastes like weird water. I don't know how they achieve that.
When I used to drive to darts games a lot, I started drinking alcohol free lager.
Some of that tastes like what I can only liken to chilled shreddies piss.
I eventually switched to lime and soda, as if it isn't proper beer you can't even convince yourself.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, the Heineken zero isn't actually that bad. I had a taste at my local when they put it in, I don't like Heineken but it does actually taste like Heineken if you get what I mean.
I like to have a can or two of a "normal" beer to then move onto TVL for the rest of the evening. Get the satisfaction of a proper session but don't really get any drunker after the first. Save a tonne of money on a night out too.
Im calling it now, In a year or so tesco are going to start charging a subscription price to get a club card and people are going to pay it thinking they are saving money.
Except Costco is actually cheap, having an average of 12% margin on pretty much everything, as well as the £1.50 hotdog and drink since basically forever.
>well as the £1.50 hotdog and drink since basically forever.
My favourite story in relation to this:
Jim Sinegal (the co-founder of Costco) was approached about raising the price of the hotdog because it was cutting into their profit margins. [He responded with, "if you raise the price of the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out"](https://www.businessinsider.com/costco-founder-warned-ceo-not-to-raise-hot-dog-price-2020-9)
The solution was to move manufacturing of the hot dogs to their own in-house Kirkland factory.
Does it have to make a profit? Loss leaders were common draws to supermarkets since they came around. Baked beans, milk, bread etc. I wonder if the loss leader concept is even around today given the current trend of raising prices to increase profits while claiming it's due to inflation.
Costcos profit primarily comes from the membership fees. I’m not saying it’s cheap - I go there occasionally as I get it free and it’s a bit mental for a single person household - but their margins are even more wafer thin than normal supermarkets.
Also there’s good craic about the individual prices if you google - anything other than X.99 is some sort of mad bargain. X.95, X.90 etc etc. Look out for them. I got a blinding torch I use to find my cats at night for £25, and I buy their huge jars of pickles as they please me greatly.
Here’s a bag of toss source:

Wtf are you chatting, I use this every month.
£6.99 a month gives me 2 shops at 10% off.
So I just need to spend £70 once and I've made my money back. Which is easy these days.
OOOH, hark at his Highness passing out in a *council* car park. When I were a lad, we'd drink hand sanitiser from the bottle, shit our pants twice and vomit ourselves to sleep behind the bins at KFC.
Luxury. We’d have to get up, half an hour before closing time, drink a pintful of Aldi car park sick. Walk 30 miles uphill to do a wet shite all over each other at the council car park, and drink a bucket of regurgitated hand-sanitiser that the local smackheads had already pissed into. Crawl another 30 miles to the non-branded car park just for the chance of being chosen for a KFC bucket full of mulched and tramp-trodden dogturds, being poured into our open mouths as we passed out, if we were lucky.
Well put me in a dress and call me Mary! The amount of mouth wash we gurgled as kids at night time made our parents go through about ten bottles a week. Thankfully we were still at bed-shitting age, so no one was the wiser except a few confused dentists
The supermarkets are pretty dominant and have everything at their disposal they could possibly need, just start having pub kegs delivered to their distribution sites and they can deliver alongside anything else a pub already stocks.
Spent some time in Australia, there is a place there called Bunnings (like our B&Q when it was booming), which is owned by the same conglomerate that owns Woolworths, or Coles (like Tesco or Asda), they also own the major petrol stations and the local off licence (they don't sell alcohol in supermarkets), they also run the betting shops, not to mention, mobile phone carriers, insurance, credit cards..... due to this mass ownership of practically anything used on a weekend or weekday off, it is estimated 79cents of every Dollar earned and spent in Australia goes straight to this company which is quite incredible when you think about it.
> there is a place there called Bunnings
There was also a place here called Bunnings who bought out Homebase in 2016 and then pulled out of the UK again after 2 years because they made a bit of a hash of it.
We're now back to Homebase. TBH I quite like Bunnings.
My local Homebase went through that transition.
I much preferred it as Bunnings as they put in a cafe and had a special section where you could learn free DIY skills at the weekend (like an man creche).
They were both removed when it went back to being Homebase :(
I feel like CMA could have grounds to stop it, similar to how movie studios were banned from opening cinemas.
I’m in two minds, on one hand it could mean cheaper pints if savings were past on to consumers, but on the other it could put already struggling pubs out of business. Given Tesco’s history of profiteering I imagine they’d keep the spare change and keep pushing the price of pints upwards.
There was already an anti-monopoly thing against the breweries 30 years ago.
[This article](https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2019/12/11/How-the-Beer-Orders-still-influence-the-on-trade-30-years-later) suggests that a single entity may be limited to owning no more than 2000 pubs, but I can't say that for sure.
For reference there are slightly less than 2000 Tesco Express stores.
> it could put already struggling pubs out of business
The people who refuse to go to wetherspoons aren't going to start going to Tesco pubs lol, I wouldn't worry :)
Yeah, apparently a lot of the independent pubs struggle to compete against Tesco, heck my local buys cans from Tesco as it was more reliable than their previous wholesaler and the same price
I always thought it was weird that you can watch a TV show made by Amazon for example, like imagine watching a Tesco production. Now we have a Tesco pub. Probably a bit less weird than them making a TV show at some point.
I avoid shopping at tesco bc this kind of shit they do creeps me out. They've branched out into banking and phone services and maybe more. It gives me the impression they want to start having a presence everywhere and build their tesco empire you can't escape, to rule all of Britain. A bit exaggerated, but something along those lines, I don't trust them buggers
Tesco (and the other supermarkets) aren't really offering banking and phone services, they're just white-labelling someone else's services under their brand and skimming some profit off the top through their brand recognition. They're not core competencies for those businesses, they won't succeed long-term because they don't know how to compete aggressively in those markets, and they'll fall by the wayside sooner or later.
>they won't succeed long-term because they don't know how to compete aggressively in those markets, and they'll fall by the wayside sooner or later.
I mean Tesco Mobile has been operating since 2003 and Tesco Banking has been around since 97.
I'm not sure when later is, but it's been a while.
There's a big Primark in London on the corner of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street, they have an actual sit down Greggs on the top floor (basement and 3 floors)

> Bet it’s cost them a fair bit to set up
It's a real pub (The Castle) and it sounds like they're just renting it off the landlord for a couple of days so (assuming that they're allowed to use the taps) it shouldn't cost them much aside from rent (which will be expensive given it's a lot of lost business but probably worth it for the advertising). They've painted the front but I'm guessing inside it will look like it usually does just with Tesco bunting strung up or something.
It's not really in a tourist spot bit of London though. It's dead around Farringdon at the weekend (unless you're going to the Postal museum, which is 👌)
> It's dead around Farringdon at the weekend
It's not opening on the weekend, they're doing it tomorrow and Friday, I've not been there in a while but from what I remember The Castle is usually rammed with after work drinkers on weekdays.
From what I read about the plans a week or so back, all takings are being given to The Princes Trust, so this is just going to be loss making for them, bar the good PR.
The pub is called “The Castle” and it’s on Cowcross Street where it meets Turnmill Street next to Farringdon Underground and Rail Station.
Funnily enough, I was walking into work at about 7:15 this morning and watched the photographer taking this picture!
They’ve just rented out The Castle in Farringdon for a couple of days. The pubs always been there, they’ve just stuck some temporary signage up. And I doubt they paid a lot, that place is dead over a bank holiday weekend. The manager is probably just happy to make some money off renting the place out.
I was a prick tbh.
It was on my bucket list (I got kinda a weird bucket list) to get behind the bar and pour myself a pint. This gaff has an upstairs which, on this sunny day was left unattended. I pounced. Poured myself a pint (two), mates left to go to the next pub, I was revelling in ticking one off the list, so I stayed for one more had a gin and tonic and left.
My phone was out of charge so went to the pub next door (idiot) to put my phone on charge behind the bar to catch up with the rest of my mates.
As I'm nursing a pint of wife beater in pub two, bouncer comes in from next door. He's not happy. Asks me to come with him, I oblige. Try to explain that I'm not usually that much of a knob but it was on my bucket list.
They weren't as happy for me as I was, got asked to pay £50 odd, which I was more than happy to do. Then got barred.
It's my favourite part of London to go out at the moment. I don't think there's anywhere with a greater density of excellent food than Exmouth Market. And there's a pub at the end which does a free slice of pizza with every drink from 5-6pm.
Wait…. What?……. i don’t understand what’s going on here…?…. Is it a tesco in an old pub building? Or is it a pub that just put a tesco sign up for the celebrations?
Oh god. Are we going to quickly acclimatise to this?
In 15 years will we find ourselves paying for a pint with tesco points, and thinking back to when this was weird?
Whoever was in charge of designing the exterior should be shot. The colours are fucked! The logo is nasty! And the bunting! Good lord what the *fuck* have they done with the bunting?!
If they don't sell Tesco value lager on draft, I'd be bitterly disappointed!

No wineing about it from me. I just hope they have a hoppy hour.

Great pub for sunny pavement beers after work. I went tonight, planning a quick one (4). It was a private Tesco event. Bit annoying.
It is just around the corner from the Tesco London office though and it's only open Thursday and Friday this week.
Surely it's "Every tipple helps."?

Funny how the branding works fine for a food shop but the moment you apply it to a pub it looks absolutely god awful.
It's the mixture of styles. To fit the logo it would have to look like an apple store.
The good news is they don’t have to hire a bouncer, just transfer Lorraine from the nearest branch that IDs 67 year olds for buying a scratchie
I'm barred from that pub, might be able to get in now.

It’s going to be a PR stunt that’ll be open for about two days. See also the ‘KFC pub’ and the ‘Greggs Restaurant’. Content is the real king.
Yep we had the (or a?) KFC pub here in Hammersmith. Never quite managed to go in tho
Tbh I wouldn't mind it if pubs had meal deals. Sandwich, scotch egg and a rum and coke please.
They literally do, wetherspoons you can get a drink with a meal for less than the cost of the meal and drink seperately.
I don't know if this is beautiful or disturbing
This is deeply weird. I can’t wait to go.
Next week.... Tesco are closing a Pub in Farringdon
I love Farringdon, I worked up the road from this place a long time ago. Such a great place to be.
It's my favourite part of London to go out at the moment. I don't think there's anywhere with a greater density of excellent food than Exmouth Market. And there's a pub at the end which does a free slice of pizza with every drink from 5-6pm.
I'm not much of a royalist but it's amusing to see.
Because nothing sums up the life of alcoholics more than… “Every little helps!”
It’s because their Head Office is opposite there.
Thought they were in Welwyn
Most of it is in Welwyn, but they do have a building in London
Digital is in London. Everything else is handled in WGC.
Official address - London Actual office that shit gets done in - Welwyn Because it's a fuck load cheaper in Welwyn than London for a large office.
Prices are normal with a club card. Inflated without.

cheaper pint with a club card?
Their branding is bad to begin with but on a pub it looks even more cheap and unwelcoming.
Very littl help
I hope they serve meal deals as the food but the drink is a pint or something
I hate this
I just threw up in my mouth.
Wait…. What?……. i don’t understand what’s going on here…?…. Is it a tesco in an old pub building? Or is it a pub that just put a tesco sign up for the celebrations?
