Ripoff Britain - Tesco coffee

Just checking the prices before I do another 6-weekly shopping trip to Calais. Tesco own-brand French ground coffee is £2.00/250g. Maison du Cafe Tradition 250g at Auchan , not on offer, is £1.17 even at this piss-poor exchange rate. Six packets - six weeks coffee - therefore saves me £4.98. And the rest of the prices are the same.

Don't be surprised next year when Tesco show record profits for 2008/09. Not knocking them - good luck to them - but they're not making very much profit from me, thank you. And that £4.98 saved buys me three and a half bottles of onze% everyday quaffing wine.

Sorry, Gordon. Nothing in it for you, either.
