Supermarket basic food that's better than the branded version.
|

Always thought that this couldn't be the case until I tried Sainsbury's Basic sliced corned beef.
It's a hell of a lot better than any of the canned stuff or the 'better' versions of the sliced.
Are there any other food that are better this way?

Mrs Bungo orders everything online.
Bloke from Ocado delivers it and brings it into the kitchen.
I first encounter it when it's cooked and on a plate in front of me.
No idea what packaging it came out of.
How many Zoltan points is this worth?

Few years ago you could get a tin of sainsbury's basics chopped pineapple in pineapple juice for 15p. Within a couple of years it went up to 35p, think its hovered around that makr since. I have no way of proving it but I'm absolutely sure it's cos it coincided with the whole nutri bullet/smoothy craze thing.
I'm sure it was similar with "super foods" like kale and quinoa etc as well.
Sainsbury's also used to do a tinned steak and gravy stew thing with about 50g protein per half tin serving as well for about 80p which you can't get any more. Shit like that is a cheapskate/student gym rat's wet dream.

What do you go for rios?
I get all mine for free but if i do shop i'm quite 'brand loyal' so i find it easy.
Surface - you're wasted in your job fella. You should be getting big bunce at a retailer at the very top with all this knowledge!

"The know how people shop, they know how age ranges shop, they know how different genders shop, they know how long you spend at a shelf, they know where you look on a shelf, they know what kind of signage to use to get your attention, they know where to put the products on the shelf,"
So how come i can never find my toothpaste or deodorant?

And yet they all have the same attitude to their goods that Gerald Ratner did. How did that work out for him?
Sounds like they are idiots or you are making it up about them putting stuff on the bottom shelf because it is rubbish.
If they were rubbish, do you think an organisation with the financial clout of Tesco would decide about their baked beans
1) Hey, these are rubbish, let's put them on the bottom shelf, or
2) Let's find a manufacturer to make some not-rubbish ones
