Tesco was quoted in a Better Together leaflet suggesting prices would rise 16 per cent with independence — a claim bosses were forced to publicly shoot down. But there are two reasons why the price of your shopping will not rise because of independence. One is Aldi and the other is Lidl. Tesco profits are down by £900million this year. The big supermarket chains are losing out hand over fist, undercut by the newly arrived chains. These guys can manage to run a supermarket operation in Scotland all the way from Germany. So the chances are Tesco can manage to do it from Kent if they really put their minds to it. But if they are absolutely determined to make sure more people shop at Aldi, a good way to do that would be to make their prices even higher
