Morrisons was advertising 20 Carlsberg for £11 on TV last night. Tried to order some this morning and they claim to be"out of stock". Omnishambles.

You're slipping even further off your trolley.

You appear to be suffering from the internet forum version of hearing voices

I'd call that a lucky escape

ain't me that drinks the shoite though

Some supermarket offers are absolutely ridiculous at times.

My local Morrisons often promotes some things at £2 each or "2 for £3". I bought some stuff that was on short-date reduction and because of the offer, when they scanned, they came out at £0.00p

Hey until a recent software update you could have ended up with ASDA giving you money

Thoughts on Sainsbury's bringing Netto back to the UK market?

Smacks of desperation to me, the big four can compete of the and choice, it is partly their fault this is all about price though.
Netto failed here for a reason, they will fail again. How long before ASDA bring back Farm Stores?

First thought is Asda must have messed up by not keeping them out. But I guess takeover laws may have prevented them from keeping them out after a certain time.

It seems like an admission of failure that Sainsbury's can't do this by themselves. But I guess Netto is an established name in discount shopping and the risks can be shared with them. There's also a separation between Sainsbury's and the new Netto's so that Sainsbury's aren't damaging their brand by going down-market.

Aldi and Lidl maybe small here by comparison but they are huge global brands - they have a simple low cost formula that is easily scalable and has been demonstrated to work in multiple markets - take them on at your peril.

Asda bought Netto for £778m.

They failed, or they were just taken over?

I hope it works out: the return of Netto's familiar carrier bags means I'd be able to use my "What's black and yellow and hangs from a count" joke again
