So who absorbs that cut? Them or their suppliers?
You have 1 person buying cheese not 2, you have one account with Heinz not 2, some of your distribution will be slim lined, lots of little savings along the way will account for some of it, then bigger accounts with the suppliers will mean a sharper price - like Tesco gets probably.
Anyone thinking of leaving school with no skills needs to have a chat with those about to lose their job to a robot.
Anyone whose job involves moving numbers around on a spreadsheet while sat at a desk needs to talk to them too.
Sainsbury had a dabble in the Lidl/Aldi end of the market with their limited relaunch collaboration with Netto a couple of years back. Seems like they've decided it's a good place to target, but changed the way they're doing it.
I’m not a food snob but I’d rather shop in Aldi or Lidl than Asda.
Miketually, I have people that move my spreadsheet numbers for me 🙂
Somebody is in the money...

If our local, brand new town centre Sainsburys is anything to go by their business model is a mess. Seem to have managed to be the worst of all worlds, with an overpriced but limited product range and long checkout lines with very few tills open. Our Lidl and Aldi have smarter looking stores and shorter lines. I tend to walk through the Sainsburys on the way home from work and hit the yellow label aisle, and the amount of products that regularly appear in it would suggest they make poor buying decisions too.
Sainsburys are moving argos stores into asda now, as well as into sainsburys stores , another chain leaving the high street, more job loses etc, then there is the logistics side, a lot less lgvs required in different branding along with logistic fulfillment centres.
Sainsburys is a little closer to me than Morrisons, and there’s no Asda in town, but I always shop at Morrisons.

The counter to that is there are more argos stored now than before sainsbury took them over.
Flip side of using your hgv fleets more efficiently is less traffic & less pollution which is a very good thing.

Asda food quality beats Tesco hands down.
The Germans beat them both, up there with Booths and Sainsbos and better at many things.
God knows how Tesco are so successful when they can't get basic foodstuffs right.
