Tesco Metro prices are higher than their other stores due to the location, but still managed to be cheaper than Budgens - in fact anybody who goes in there knows Budgens was more expensive than other shops around the area. istapp 06-11-2007, 16:59 budgens had some cool and slightly unusual stuff though! i was really disappointed when i went the other week and it was gone. callippo 06-11-2007, 17:24 i used to use them all the time. queues were less, and they had some decent offers, i disagree with #5 tesco didn't enjoy a particular price advantage for the goods i wanted to buy - but #1 is correct. it were the tesco nearby wot done it. one only had to compare the obvious difference in trade between the 2 shops in the months preceeding budgens' closure to realise it was only a matter of time. foxydebs 06-11-2007, 17:54 Thats how much I go down that end of town, I didnt even know it had shut Kalka 06-11-2007, 18:11 its shame it closed as many students were coming back, they used to hire students. the queue in tescos is too long now.

If anything alot of these convenience shops seem to be understaffed if anything. Probably because it was incredibly expensive. ultracynic 21-01-2008, 11:09 saw junkies stealing jars of coffee in there a few times |
