Can't stand B&M generally though, it's full of rubbish I don't want or imported food and drinks. Have you ever seen a big one? If you do, give it a go, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Yeah, honestly hate them. First aisle is just processed foods mostly, then it's just a warehouse of mos...

It’ll be a big loss if it does close entirely. I never fully trust the quality or how consistent the range will be at the likes of Poundland or B&M. I’m not entirely sure being squeezed out by online is as much of an issue as the commentators on the news keep saying. Surely people tend to buy t...

Empire Cinemas has gone bust. Six closed immediately, leaving Sunderland and Wigan with no cinema at all. The other half of the chain remains open while the administators look for a buyer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66134084 I would imagine some of the closed sites will be acquired by othe...

I never really understand why Waitrose even try to push prices, people shopping in there are very unlikely shopping there because it's cheap. Because they’re losing a hell of a lot of customers to their (cheaper) rivals. Aye I get that but surely they should be trying to be unique in some form of w...

I never really understand why Waitrose even try to push prices, people shopping in there are very unlikely shopping there because it's cheap. They should focus on their quality like M&S do imo with marketing and push their Waitrose Essentials range as cheap as the rest but much better quality - ...

There's also shrinkflation on the 12 pack 500ml still water packs by using the cheaper plastic bottles that are easier to squash. That was more to do with them changing suppliers. They used to use Highland Spring which is decent water to the utter rubbish in Staffordshire which is usually used in t...

If you didn't know "The Fresh Market" is a Tesco concept, you'd think is Morrisons. Reminds me of a naff version of the new M&S store design than Morrison's personally. The only thing that reminds me of Morrison's is turning half the lights off and making the place look unwelcoming, r...

What an utterly shite scheme. Essentially 10% back in points on a few things (rounded down in awkward chunks) and 0.5% back on fuel. Boggles the mind that this is the best they could come up with. Hopeless ain't it. It's so ironic that this page - https://www.morrisons.com/help/new-morrisons-more/,...

Apparently it's just a trial for now: https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2023/04/morrisons-latest-grocer-to-launch-loyalty-member-only-prices/ Just got this as I'm in the North East and it's pointless 15 offers for points which expire at the end of May and most of them are for cakes which I don't...

Seen Morrisons is relaunching the More scheme for the second time on Tuesday which seems to be exactly the same as last time even known customers didn't like it...? It's been assuming leaked by Morrisons at Morpeth on their community page - https://www.facebook.com/Morries1899/ as it's not mentioned...

Related in The Observer: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/feb/27/is-private-equity-tearing-the-soul-out-of-morrisons-supermarket I note that even Waitrose are now trying the whole 'price investment' angle. It's funny I read that about 5 minutes after posting and if I had a rant about the p...
