Tesco
Has anyone noticed over the past few months that Tesco fruit and veg are not great to say the least. The amount I've had to bin is sad.
I made stew tonight for supper and dd wanted broccoli with it. I had to bin a whole broccoli becouse it was yucky and mushy. It was still in date and I only bought it on Tuesday. |

I would have taken it back, throwing it away is enabling them!

I have 4 local shops - all small as live right bang in centre of London . I avoid Coop and Sainsbury for fruit and veg but my local Waitrose (best) and Tesco (reasonable ) are ok
There is a UK issue with broccoli and other brassicas at the moment so I am avoiding them - waterlogged so won’t be great anywhere but no excuse to sell them really - if they are not A class then ready for compost |

Your so right Sue but my nearest Tesco is 60 odd miles away. It's happening all the time with me. The money we are wasting is all adding up. I buy lots of fruit n veg becouse we use a lot its sad to see it going in the bin.
I did try to grow my own this year but it was an epic fail 😢 never mind will try again next year 😊 |

Yes
Fruit, particularly tangerines and clementines are c£&p, many a rank fruit in the net when we get home... we have stopped buying peaches and nectarines as they all ripen with mould after a day or so. Useless Tesco Disney332

I have Tesco food delivered and have had loads of problems, grapes being mouldy, cucumbers rotten, I have given up with their carrots. All these items are like this when they are being delivered. Also, a lot of items have very short dates.
I now check everything whilst its being delivered. Had a bottle of port delivered - complete with its security tag. Their customer service is also getting worst. |

I now buy most of our fruit and veg from a local community shop which sells them from the local allotments and a few small farms in the area only open a few months ago but converted. The fruit and veg taste so much better than anything from the supermarkets, have started to go to a local butcher for meat now as well have to say its cost a little more but on taste alone worth it I usually go to the community shop twice a week now and the butcher once a week.
