Supermarket question

[c.j]

I use Morrisons, their value range is good. I find if I go to Tesco or Asda bits I don't really need, such as a couple of 3 pound t- shirts for the kids somehow find their way into my trolley!

I always avoid the clothes aisles!!

I don't feel any loyalty to any particular supermarket, I like Asda out of the big 4 but there isn't one anywhere near me (nearest is 17 miles away) so it's not often I go, I love aldi and get a lot from there, I get a few bits from lidl when they have offers, morrisons and tesco if I really have to (as I hate tesco and find it hugely overpriced) I get pepsi max from home bargains as it's always 79p for 2l in there, in fact I get loads from home bargains as I find it cheaper than anywhere else for things like coffee, sugar, drinks, tuna, tinned stuff, biscuits, crisps etc, blows the supermarkets out of the water really

I don't hate shopping, per se, I hate shoppers !!!! I am a hermit at heart and dislike mingling with crowds at the best of times, but since the ME I find crowds particulary exhausting, so, I generally go to Tesco as they are nearby and don't keep changing everything around --- if I know where everything is I can get the whole thing done faster !!!

No I'm a bit of an antisocial moo aswell to be honest, the other week we were shopping and I then discovered it was half term (different to my kids half term) and pension day!!!! I nearly had a mental breakdown

Lem right about Home Bargains if you have got one close by they are worth checking out.

I'm the same lem. To be honest I prefer animals to people!

I like shopping on Friday afternoon when I finish work at 12;15pm it's so much quieter than on a Saturday when I'm going this week grrrr.

If I'm not rushed or stressed I'm fine to shop but on some days I'm an impatient old moo!

[dunkynuts]

I know it sounds daft,but Iceland are really cheap for Toiletries and Laundry stuff when doing a Freezer shop!

I buy a lot of toiletries from Poundland. I bulk buy on washing powder etc when it's either on special in Asda or when we go to Costco.

I agree, Home Bargains can be great, as can Poundland. I also find Wilkinson do some good deals sometimes! I've found myself using mysupermarket.com a bit recently..and as sad as it sounds, only to see where the cheapest place to buy Velvet toilet roll is lol

[Shining]

I don't think it's sad, we're all trying to save a few pennies for that treat and to make the budger stretch that bit further. I'm known as the guru of bargains withim my workplace, if only they knew why I could recite the different prices in different shops!x

[kallis3]

I used to do a virtual shop at Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys each week but don't anymore. I pretty much know the prices of the stuff I want which probably is very sad!!!!

I use Wilkinsons for the water filter cartridges - so much cheaper than Brita or supermarkets own. Get our batteries from Poundland - shed loads for £1!!!! Do use Home Bargains occasionally as they do have some different things in than the supermarkets - curry sauces for example and they're really nice.

I find Morrisons really expensive, we tend to use, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Iceland and Sainsbury's, depends what we want, all are within 10 minutes of our house, the advantage of living in a city.
My sister when she visited couldn't get over that we shop most days but just for what ever we need for that day as she lives in the country and has to plan her shopping trips like a military operation. They do a once a month shop.

[kallis3]

I never like Morrisons - at least not the one close to me. Don't like the layout for one thing and I find they don't have a lot of choice. I'd shop in Sainsburys out of preference as ours is huge, it's a pleasure to walk round but the problem is that it's expensive.

Tesco I use for a top up shop but it's Asda for the main one. Don't like Lidl, Aldi or Iceland. We use Farm Foods sometimes to get hubby his Chinese curry sauce as it's the only place we know that sells it!!!
