Morrisons or Asda. Asda because is closer - but I like some of the Morrisons own brands. (The Morrisons own spaghetti bolognaise is SO much nicer than waitrose own!) Morrisons always seem to have good bargains too when I go.

I use the coop sometimes as its a 5 minute walk away if I need milk/bread etc.

Seeing as they're all perpetually under cutting each other these days I don't think it makes a massive difference. That said I did my first ever online shop this week with ocado and found more useful special offers than I usually do at my local tescos or sainos (saved 12 quid plus an extra tenner because it was my first time using them) but on the flipside they don't have any gloriously cheap white label goods.
Bottom line as far as all the big supermarkets are concerned I think they're all unreliable money grabbing bastards so you might as well go to whichever is bigger and closest to your house.

How do you manage to go from posh Harrods to lidl or aldi lol.

We use mainly lidl or aldi too, sometimes dunnes or tescos.

If I do online shopping it goes between tesco or asda, depending who has coke on offer. Sainsburys are the worst online shopping thing!Actually going to the supermarket....Waitrose is my fav, but I quite like tescos but we do our weekly shop at sainsburys as its closest!




There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

I love Tesco!

My town is renowned for its tesco.
Got a virgin holidays store, costa, phone shop, electronic shop, optitians, pharmacy, photo printing bit.....

So yes. Tesco all the way!
I occasionally go to morrisons but not a fan really.



I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!


Who else is fine?!?!?

Morrisons - the choice, the freshness and the variety just expands further than most supermarkets.

Asda - full of crap food, crap choice of food

I buy my veg from Lidl (because it's cheap and seems to be really good - best avocados I've ever had were from there).

Other food from Sainsburys or Waitrose, just because there's a local one of each near me.

I like Tesco, but only really the big ones - apart from the one on Charlotte Street, near Goodge Street, I've not found a good local one yet.

I really dislike Morrisons. It feels like you're walking into 1995, it's not overly cheap and is often really badly laid out. Plus I've had many a manky carrot from there.

I can't shop in Morrisons because of their colours and the feel of the shop. Freaks me the hell out. Brown and yellow are NOT welcoming colours. I really struggle to walk past one, never mind go in!

This is going to sound daft but every time I try to go into the ASDA near me I get upset and leave.
One of the problems is a girl I knew from a sports team when I was really unwell works on security there and it's so awkward. she sits on the desk with that screen following people around on camera and I always have the feeling I'm being watched which is so uncomfortable. The other thing is I feel they treat me like a suspsicous shoplifter despite never shoplifting. I don't know why.

The layout of the place is really bad in terms of if I'm anxious the only way in off the car park is either in a lift that usually has a lot of people in it, which I won't do, or down about 6 flights of stairs, or 8 if there's no parking on the first level. The stairs are enclosed and set me off feeling anxious too (which I recently realised might be a physical thing as well as there are so many, and no air in there).

Because I associate that place so much with being unwell, I just can't go there, which is a shame because it's close to where I live. It's been a bone of contention with my mum who thinks I should just shop there.

There's a Tesco which is an out of town supermarket about 3 miles away and I just go to that. I LOVE IT. A massive open plan car park on one level and no problems getting in and out of the store. Set out in a spacious way and stuff I like is near the entrance so I don't have to walk around the whole thing. SO pleased I found this as going there is totally different.

I usually go to Sainsburys as I know the layout well and they do my lactofree milk and nurofen meltlets tablets.

Sometimes I go to Asda because it's cheaper. Tesco is too far away and so is Waitrose (and expensive)



Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

I hate co op! The "fresh" food (fruit and veg) always goes rotten the next day, its rank, the cooked chicken is always dry and they don't do the Caesar dressing I like! And considering I pretty much live off chicken Caesar salad its quite a problem! The only other shops in my town are waitrose, m&s (both too expensive,) or sainsburys, so I use sainsburys and I like it. The fresh food is always perfect even days past the "sell/use by date"

I always get pathetically excited going into Tescos when I go back to see my parents. Self-service checkouts are an amazing invention!

Supermarkets here have rubbish choice and the fresh food isn't wonderful (especially in winter.) Their only saving grace is that you can take stuff off the shelves yourself without having to ask for it.

All the shops in my district are the type where you have to ask for what you want at the counter. I dislike these.

Oh my god don't get me started on co-ops self service checkouts, they are TERRIBLE! If we do go there (very very occasionally) I always tell my dad not to use them, but he does, then gets angry at them gives up half way though and storms off to a proper checkout haha!

Really? The first time I used one I was like, 'omg supermarkets are now perfect!'
