Tescos - at the centre of a web of consumption...

We only had a few people today due to the study skills day, but there was some work to be done.

We started with the Tesco Value Quiz !
How low can they go ?

I gave you 10 items and you guessed how much (or how little) they cost...
Some serious overestimation going on...

Check out this TIMES ARTICLE, about a student trying to live on Tesco value items for a week.

We then discussed how it was possible that Tesco could offer these items so cheaply...

Finally, we began to make a web of connections between Tesco and the world, with headings such as: Employment, Transport, Trade, Energy, Waste etc.
