Everyone is a risk, companies entering into ever spiralling price wars that end up with them charging below the correct amount for the ascociated risk will just result in those companies ending up losing money, which in the long run isnt good for anyone.

Funny u should post this iv just had my come through yesterday from tescos £550 for the year, which is £100 more than last year, so shopped around and going with shelias wheels which is £312 for the year with all the extras. I think tescos have been undercutting for too many years and now they cant afford to.

you should 'go compare' every year and not just sign on the dotted line, you'll be surprised at how much money you'll save
