   Pre the new loyalty card scam:

   Item standard price £1

   To do an offer it would become 75p

   Now… the “loyalty card” offer price is £1

   The price without a loyalty card is £1.50

   There is no deal.

   All that’s happened is you’ve taken a price rise and the supermarket now makes more money off you both at transaction time and selling and using your data later. Don’t underestimate the value of the latter - they make *millions* from it.

     This is exactly why I stopped using Tesco over a year ago

     Lidl aren't (yet); they have a "loyalty" scheme but the price of goods don't depend on it.

     @botvolution Which is fine except they’re all doing it now - CoOp, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Tesco etc etc.

     …so now without the loyalty card you’ll be robbed by significant amounts.
