Get ready for avocado lovers everywhere to absolutely lose the run of themselves with tis news.

Tesco have started selling packs of frozen, pre-peeled, pre-stoned, avocado. 

Can you even? We feel like there are a lot of avocado on toast and matcha latte lovers in active wear who simply cannot even right now. 

Apparently, customers told the supermarket they REALLY love avocados but they are simply just too messy to prepare. Why do the things we love hurt us so much? A recent 30 percent spike in sales- which is supposedly thanks to Nigella Lawson's new TV show, has confirmed this love of the green superfood.

Consumers explained, “they often struggle with fresh avocados at home, as they go off very quickly which can result in food waste,” said Tesco frozen produce buyer, Marianne Aitken. 

This is true, there is nothing worse than waiting patiently for an avocado to ripen and then in a split second they have become a gross brown alien. What on earth are those brown strings doing, someone tell us, please!

“They can also be a bit messy to prepare so we’ve not only frozen, but also peeled and halved them so they’re ready to use in salads, smoothies or guacamole.” 

“Of course because they’re frozen from fresh all the nutrients are locked in through the freezing process.” Marianne added.

The avocados are fast frozen so texture is not impaired. This was a move that has been welcomed by waste advisory body Wrap. There is 54,000 tonnes of stone fruit related food waste each year, 32,000 tonnes of which is avoidable. 

So say hello to world where 32,000 extra tonnes of guacamole is just waiting for you to enjoy. What a time to be alive.

We are in support of pretty much anything festive these days. November is a month filled with the promise of tinsel, giant Christmas trees and matching jumpers for the whole family (including Rover the puppy). 

We cannot wait to see what happens when December arrives. 

However, a certain lunch item that is claiming to be exactly what we would expect when it comes to festive desserts has sent the internet into meltdown.

Tesco is selling an Everyday Value Chocolate and Cherry Mascarpone Christmas sandwich on cinnamon bread and no one seems to be able to deal with this news.

A picture of the new meal deal item was shared on Sh*t London’s Facebook page by Londoner Nic Branch who captioned the image: ‘More gold at Tesco’. Since then people have been taking serious issue with the sandwich. 

‘Chocolate and cherry sandwiches? Has the world gone mad?’ asked Jane Craigie-Payne.

 

Others legitimately questioned the cherry content. Tesco seemed to be able to have a laugh about all the fuss:

Luckily, Metro were able to speak with someone who had actually tried the interesting foodie concoction. Seb Budd explained:

“The first few bites were actually OK. The cinnamon bread was a nice touch but after a few more mouthfuls I soon began to realise that this is the sort of sandwich you’d buy to tell someone you really don’t like them.”

Oh?

Seb must not be a mascarpone fan then, but we feel like this might be something that we need to taste-test for ourselves to be absolutely certain.

Where are your Christmas lights right now? If you're like the rest of us, they're probably in a tangled ball of horror somewhere in your attic.

While most of us run screaming at the thought of being presented with a mound of tangled cables – especially if there's a broken bulb in there – some people actually get enjoyment out of solving those kinds of problems.

If you (God forbid) actually find untangling lights rewarding and simple, then Tesco wants to hear from you.

For the first time ever, the retail giant is looking for a full-time "Christmas Light Untangler" to work out of its Wrexham store in the four weeks leading up to Christmas.

Yes, this is a legit job application, and yes it's paid. Tesco promises a "competitive salary" for the lucky candidate.

Throughout December, customers will be able to bring their lights along to the store for a free untangling service, plus replacement of any broken bulbs.

So what will the successful candidate be like?

Well, aside from having a "passion" for all things festive (obvz), you'll need the ability to "untangle three metres of Christmas lights in under three minutes."

If anyone's looking to test their skills, we can point you in the direction of some very tangled lights. Fancy putting up our tree too?

This complaint will certainly brighten up your day!

Billy Cunningham from Kent was shocked to find his meal deal offer invalid as he went through the self service till in Tesco.

He was so disappointed that he wrote a letter of complaint on Facebook that was so melodramatic, it caught everyone by surprise.

To make matters even more hilarious, Tesco replied with an even better responce to Billy.

Our faith in humanity is restored!

If you bought a box of Tesco bran flakes recently – you should probably return them: the supermarket giant is now warning that some packs may contain small pieces of plastic "due a production fault".

It's just the 1kg size that is under scrutiny: the batch codes to look out for are 52320953, 52320953A, 52330953, and 52340953. They'll all also have a best before date of May 2016 on them.

The Food Safety Authority Of Ireland warns today: Tesco Ireland is recalling the above batches of Tesco Bran Flakes, as a small number of packets may contain plastic fragments. 

"No other products are affected by this recall.

"Tesco Ireland is issuing in-store recall notices requesting customers who have bought these implicated batches to return them to a Tesco store."

The cereal is all made and packaged in the UK. 

"If you have bought this product," Tesco says. "Do not eat it. Instead, return it to your nearest Tesco store for a full refund."

Being a grown up and having to go to your food shopping is already enough of an ordeal, but it's made that little bit worse by the computer woman who decides to tip you over the edge with her "unexpected item in bagging area" catch phrase. 

Thankfully, Tesco have decided to make shopping at the self-service counter that little bit less painful by introducing a new 'friendlier' voice to remind you that "your item can now be placed in your bag".

Following customers feedback, Tesco realised that the current voice had "become a source of frustration" for people shopping in their stores, with some people describing it as "shouty" (We agree)

Tesco will also introduce some friendlier phrases such as "thank you for shopping at Tesco" alongside ditching those dreaded five words. 

James Dewen, self service checkout operations manager at Tesco said: "Customers really like the convenience of our self-service checkouts, especially when they're just popping into store to pick up lunch or a few items after work. But for some, the voice leaves them a bit frustrated."

All of the female voices phrases will now be replaced with the friendlier male voice:

Looking for ways to improve your health without having to sign your life away to a gym or endure awful, apparently healthy, meals? Well, Tesco’s newest service should be right up your street.

To help customers improve their health and wellbeing, Tesco have launched their healthy living service, Tesco Health & Wellbeing.

The 100% free to join service is in stark contrast to their original paid subscription Tesco Diets – the #1 rated online weight loss service – which they have stopped taking subscriptions for.

While the brave move to stop the paid service will obviously have an impact on revenue, it is in keeping with their campaign to help more customers improve their health and wellbeing.

Through an interactive digital platform, Tesco Health & Wellbeing aims to help customers be healthy, improve their overall wellbeing and enjoy life more. The website, iOS and Android apps include all the must-have tools of Tesco Diets plus much more in the area of wellbeing, fitness, nutrition analysis, healthy recipes, personalisation and expert advice.

Some of the many highlights of the service include the ability to plan or track in the food diary, get healthy meal ideas (this will definitely come in handy), order groceries online and discover new exercises.

The service is easy enough to use –  all you need to do is visit www.tescohealthandwellbeing.com or download the app from Apple or Google play store, sign up and fill in your personal settings.

Having a healthy lifestyle couldn’t be easier.

Supermarket shopping can often be a dull task but one prankster decided to make the alcohol section a little more fun, by changing the wine descriptions with his own hilarious versions.

The joker printed off his own homemade wine descriptions and placed them at a Tesco store in South London.

What makes the joke even better is that you wouldn’t notice the prank until some closer inspection, as the funny wine descriptions are identical to the normal Tesco labels. Some of the wine descriptions even include a fake barcode and information about Clubcard points.

The anonymous joker said he came up with the idea while shopping with his partner.

“I was navigating the aisles of my local supermarket when, due to my girlfriend’s inability to make a quick decision, my eye was drawn to the flowery descriptions of some of their lower end.”

Our personal favourite is definitely the description J.P. Chenet which says the wine is made of “bitter clown tears with a hint of suspicion”.
