I never received a reduction last week only on those that were Club Card prices :-S. The only time everything appeared to be reduced was when I used a voucher and they reduced every item rather that taking the voucher value of the final amount :-)

I have just received the online receipt for today's delivery and it is the same as usual. No sign of any extra reductions. They must have been unable to keep it up for some reason.

I am grateful for small mercies, as I just happened to have an order on the right day last week, but I feel very sorry for everyone else who has missed out. :-(

Mine was everything too - not just Tesco's stuff.
However, I wasn't aware of the reductions until I received the online receipt.

On my order it was everything, some of it Tesco's and some not, like Ryvita and sugar.

Andysmum, I have an order for next Friday and have been on & off adding things but I haven't noticed anything reduced like Maggie except for the club card offers???

Maggie, is it only Tesco branded items maybe?

I have just been doing next week's order and there is no sign of reduced prices - apart from the usual clubcard ones. :-S

I was beginning to think I had dreamt it all, except that Maggie had the same experience last week. So what is going on?

Well done, Tesco.

I have only occasionally shopped there though - only if I am passing that side of town - as I am in walking distance of Sainsburys, Co-op, M & S, Aldi, Lidl, Iceland (using a new name) and even a Home Bargains (which surprised me by its food range when it opened) as well as a Heron Store which began life, I think, as a frozen food store but now stocks a variety of brand-name groceries too.

I hope other stores follow the Tesco example,

I saw the cheesecake and have put one on as well, looks so scrummy.

Cant wait to see how much my bill goes down then .

It does, Florence - and by how much.
For example - Butter - was £1.89, reduced to £1.61.
It wasn't long ago, that it was £1.99!

Maggie, does it say on the online order against each item, that its reduced?

Same as you. Andysmum.
I've got an order coming this evening.
Have to admit, I knew the wine and strawberries were on offer, as was the cheese - but everything else - apart from the salted caramel cheesecake - is reduced!

Edit - just checked - the salted caramel cheesecake IS reduced, and everything else that was reduced when I ordered it, has been reduced AGAIN! :-D

That's brilliant Andy's mum, my next order is the 22nd Jun so I shall have a good look at the prices and hopefully save a few pennies as well. :-)

They'll soon make up the 'shortfall' when word gets round. Call me cynical :-0 :-D
I wonder if others will follow suit? Would help customers enormously.

I wont go into any Tesco, haven't done so for many years ever since I found out they bought land and did nothing with it, it was to stop other supermarkets building on it and there is a Tesco 5 minutes from my house.

I read the other day that Tesco were reducing a lot of their prices to make life a bit less expensive.

Yesterday I put in my weekly order and today received the usual receipt. I couldn't believe what I saw - every single item had been reduced. Not just the essentials, like bread and milk, but things like OH's wine as well. Some by just a few pence, others by quite a lot more, but added up it made a difference of a couple of pounds. :-)
