I like Morrisons compared with the other big 4 but I think their chief executive hasn't got a clue. It will be interesting to see whether a full scale price war ensues. If it does it will cost them all dearly and cost a lot of jobs. Apparently, in 2003 in response to Aldi & Lidl a major Dutch supermarket tried to take them one. Food prices fell by 8%, the supermarket industry lost £700 million of profits in one year and 33,000 jobs were lost. Givewn our population is about 4 times theirs we could see mayhem if the big boys go into a price war. Can't see Aldi and Lidl losing out though as they have more efficient business models. Can see Morrisons going bust though.

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

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

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?
