I am from Chennai.Though I am no supporter of Ramdoss & co, I have certain points to put forward regarding Reliance
I have been shopping at Reliance Fresh for past few months. I should accept the rate was fair & products were good initially. Apart from fruits & vegetables, they were selling other items like Atta, Rice, Dal etc below MRP. For example, MRP of Moong Dal was given as Rs 65 & they were selling for around Rs 45. Initially, I was excited. But, later on I found that the actual price for a quality Moong Dal was only Rs 45. So, they are just hiking the price & show it low in the bill. If you buy other items like Complan, Horlicks etc, the price is same as MRP. On the other hand, if you buy the same items from small sized %u201CANNACHI%u201D shops (Shops usually run by Nadars who sell it on a low margin), you will get the same product for lower price.
Another thing that I noticed is that the %u201CToday%u2019s Offer%u201D from Reliance. They sell fruit juices like Tropicana, Real etc about Rs 10 to Rs 15 less than the MRP. But, customers should be careful. They are actually old stocks & the product might expire in few days.
Once they gave an offer of buy one sliced carrot packet and get one free. I bought it and found that both packets contained sliced %u201Crotten%u201D carrot.
I decided to go back to usual local ANNACHI Shops and famous vegetable markets in Koyembedu, TNagar, Perambur etc as I get fresh products in cheap rate.
