Tesco half-price offers

half price naughtiness

I have noticed this sort of thing going on with Tesco ready made curries. I sometimes eat ready made curries on a Tuesday as I eat alone for logistical reasons. My wife is not a great fan of the ready made curries.

I can’t go into the details of how Tesco do naughty things with ready made curries because I am still ill and the naughtiness in question is very complex. You’ll just have to believe me.

    sorry to hear you are feeling ill. I ‘came down with something’ the the day and felt very bad for a few days – had fantastic dreams though. I find that ASDA make the finest ready made curries – a guilty pleasure. You are very lucky to have RMC on Tuesday. I have to wait ’til Friday.

    One of the funniest blog posts I’ve read this week had to do with a deceptive retailer here in the states. I probably need to explain it, though, rather than just linking to it.

    There is an author and radio host in the U.S. named Dave Ramsey. His topic is personal financial management — particularly getting and staying out of debt.

    He happens to be based in Nashville, which is just an hour’s drive north of me. Since he got his start here and is based here, he’s a bigger celebrity in this area than elsewhere. But he’s a radio celebrity, meaning not everyone knows what he looks like unless they read his books.

    Anyway, Dave Ramsey apparently went into an appliance store looking for a new washing machine. He found one he liked, but then the sales representative started to try to sell him the extended warranty. Ramsey is skeptical of extended warranties and frequently advises against buying them on his show. But the sales rep apparently did not know this — because he persisted, at last confiding in his customer, “Dave Ramsey came in here last week, bought a washing machine like this one, and _he_ took the extended warranty.”

    Ramsey told the sales rep that he was willing to bet that Dave Ramsey had not done any such thing. He then pulled out his wallet, showed the astonished sales rep his driver’s license and walked out of the store without buying anything.

    Ramsey told the story at one of his staff meetings and two different employees blogged about it, which is where I heard it.
