VO: Michael Jayston

Only if we had the wages we had back in 1977!

Ahh, yes. The good old days of shopping commercials back in the 70's. Classic ad, that. Cya! And the prices were so much cheaper. Byeeee!😎

Tesco need to a roll back…

I remember this advert being played in the cinema before The Spy Who Loved Me started, in 1977.

RIP Michael Jayston

this was nearly 47 years ago

19 and a half pence for a six pack of penguin bars? That seems literally out of this world compared to how much they cost today. Bloody sugar tax.

To get the equivalent of these prices in real terms 2023 money, multiply them by roughly 5. Not as cheap as they look.

I still walk out of my local Tesco Express and sing "Today's Tesco!"

I have been wide awake this evening with far too little to do, and I have just multiplied these prices by £5.57, which the Bank of England says is the July 2023 equivalent to one 1977 pound. I then compared them with what Tesco is flogging today, and food prices have more or less doubled since 1977. Heinz beans being an obvious culprit, working out at the modern equivalent of 70p per single tin - £1.40 nowadays. But yes, you can still get Stork and it’s double the price for a similar quantity. Jacobs Crackers are sold in 300g now, as opposed to 200g, but they’re still £1.70 a pack, and 64p for 200g in 77. Add an extra 100g and it works out at about 95p. So we’re being fleeced. The food industry, with all its flying products half way round the world and back, underpaying farmers in third world countries etc… are ruining the planet, and they are the only ones who stand to benefit. Tesco shareholder dividends tripled in the tax year 21-22, Sainsbury’s doubled in the same period. They can afford to do more to ease the burden than they’re doing.

Just look at the prices now 2023.

The music when the prices appear on the cash register is rather reminiscent of this... ruclips.net/video/Ua0jaWrx29s/видео.htmlm56s

We got through a lot of 1/2p coins back in those days!!

I like the voice-over on this one. He has quite an interesting voice! I'm not sure about the horrible low-calorie drinks though! Eugh! And I've never eaten Penguin biscuits.

Don't forget that the imperial measurements skew things slightly. The 15 & 3/4 ounce Heinz bean can is bigger than the cans we have today, whereas the "half pound of Tesco butter" is smaller, at only 227g as opposed to the 250g packs we tend to see today. All those 1/2p prices were really annoying. Round them up or down!

Check it out! ...... 🎶 "41 years ago Tesco!" 🎶 🤣

46 years later in 2023, we could do with "Price cuts that help keep the cost of living in check!" 👍🤣

Most of those items are cheaper today mainly because they don't appeal,tastes have moved on ... the price of butter has really shot up though ...that has almost doubled in price since 1977 and yogurt then was cheap although ski would be considered cheaper brand today so probably about right

I remember buying two dresses from Tesco’s in the Seventies, under their Delamare brand. They were excellent value for money!❤️

Woof

O O O the good old days

NINTEEN P FOR BUTTER now even a mini fudge is 25

I was looking for people looking for fnaf toys in tesco and then I find this video, sick. ✨

Every price ended with 1/2 p? That's probably to fool people into thinking if you don't see the next full p, things are cheaper. In the U.S., gasoline prices are often displayed as $5.19 9/10 per gallon, like pricing stuff in 1/10 of a cent increments makes a difference.

Those were the days

Tescos own brand crap now

1 9 7 7

Once you take Into account inflation the prices are pretty much the same as they are now. Well the tin of Heinz beans would equal about 50p today but you can get a pack of four decent beans for about £1.20. the flour is actually cheaper now than it was then

The first 12 seconds of the ad were quite modern and futuristic - then kicks in the old fashioned music (even by 82 standards) why does it start so differently to how it ends lol?

Ah, the good old days when we had shops. Now all we've got are empty buildings used by junkies and alkies.

1982. I'd go back to then, if given the option, before you could blink. I was 11. Life was good.

Aye now a days am paying £3 for 1 2L bottle of juice

Sad when you think of it how affordable groceries were back then and now Tesco is FUCKING EXPENSIVE!! and not that great standards either 😒😒😒 WAY TOO MANY VULTURES!!

½p is the theme

And not a black face in sight. The good old days.

I hated the half pennies.

Their prices don’t do things by halves!

I used to love this place, too sad I moved to a place that doesn’t have these

Lol @ the naff music and awful, cheap and nasty products!

What's with that annoying "scrape" sound in between each item? I didn't much like the look of some of those products. The butter was alright and the beans haven't changed terribly much, however all the other products look mediocre. Where's the freshly-squeezed orange juice, tenderstem broccoli and extra virgin olive oil? I quite like the diction of the voice-over artist though - he has a nice voice that is not jarring to listen to - a far cry from the horrible patronising immature womens' voices that are in vogue today.

When decimalisation was introduced in 1971 a box of Englands Glory matches cost 1/2p.
