Saturday at my local Tesco. For three days Tesco teamed up with the Trussell Trust to allow people from local TT food banks to stand at the front of the store and ask shoppers to donate items for the local community from a small list.
Tesco was doing its bit. A huge selection of its value basics range was on show so shoppers could instantly grab items ranging from value orange juice to value cereal and put it in with their shopping.
After passing the checkout you would then put the items into the donation-marked trollies. Customer service staff then wheeled them away to the storage area and then apparently Tesco would match whatever was donated with 30 per cent more.
