It's funny, I remember seeing all those posters in the supermarket windows in the 70s and 80s with stuff like "Heinz Baked Beans 17p", then they sort of disappeared in the late 80s. I suppose you look for this stuff on the shelves now, and it's all 'buy one get one free' rather than '3p off'.

Noone other than housewives had ever stepped foot in to a supermarket before the 80s.

[@andrewjones-productions]

The Waitrose MD speaks and sounds a lot like Sir Humphrey Appleby of 'Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister'. The Tesco MD on the other hand, clearly had his finger on the pulse and the future success of Tesco in the next decade is clear to see. Like someone else, I never knew Waitrose had been around for so long which is indicative of the fact that they didn't have much of a presence, if any at all in North Wales during the 1970s. Tesco and Asda on the other hand, were the main large supermarkets in the 1980s, with the 'Co-Op' and 'KwikSave' being the primary place for weekly or weekend shopping in the 1970s. For fresh and daily shopping, it was still very much the village or nearby town shops that were the main places that everyone shopped at.

[@Skaterbun]

Waitrose were only in the south east during the 70s and 80s, it was like the Morrisons of the south, we didn’t have Morrison in the south until they acquired the Safeway stores.

And now they can buy a rancid Aldi Turkey for Christmas. They are cheaper than most supermarkets. I still shop at Waitrose if I have the opportunity and I can do it online. Good PR from Tesco though they have changed quite a bit now and are more aggressive. And what happened to Spar Vivo Ltd. A lot of retailing is going down the pan at the moment. People are often purely driven by price and don't give a stuff as to how much it cost the environment. At least I know where my food comes from.

[@clairemcfadyen90]

You shouldn't be such a snob = Believe me or not, Aldis meat is Far Superior to Tesco's meat. Far, far superior. I will not buy Tesco's meat, not when better quality Scottish meat is available at Aldi. I live in Scotland and Aldis Scottish stores get All their meat from Scotland..... Not exactly "rancid".

[@jeremytravis360]

@@clairemcfadyen90 I just prefer to support British companies.

[@clairemcfadyen90]

@@jeremytravis360 I prefer to buy the best quality meat, more than I care for conserving the profit's of a company of which I gain nothing, but each to their own. The big supermarkets didn't care about all the small businesses that they put out of business, why should you now care about them to the detriment of your pocket? Tesco's contain vastly inflated prices in comparison to what is in Aldi. The last few times I've bought meat from Tesco's I've not been able to eat it, as I'm so used to the high quality and good Scottish Free Range meat I get from Aldi, Lidl or my butcher. Trust me, there are no "rancid" chicken's in Aldi. A shopping bill at Tesco costing £150 will cost £75 in Aldi and the quality of meat is better at Aldi. The choice won't be as big, but what you are able to buy is great. My jaw dropped the first time I went there. You will not get every brand you seek, however for the money you save you can afford to take yourself off to another supermarket or/and Marks and Spencers to spend double again 😊 x

I like how the older generation who lived through rationing in the wars were not swayed by cheap gimmicks, buying extra unnecessary food, they just went to buy what they needed to make a simple meal and had a budget to stick to. Today we live in an impulsive society where we don’t just eat to live but eat to over-consume.
