Morrisons

Our nearest Safeway changed into Morrisons earlier this year but I have yet to visit as it's a 25 minute drive away.

Do any of you that use it regularly think it's worth a special trip? Do they do anything extra nice there or have any brilliant bargains. I normally use Asda, Co-op, Tescos and the odd trip to Lidl...Thanks.

    Hi, I used to use it regulary when I was a student but dont now, much prefer the Tescos and Asda. I feel that morrisons has gone downhill alot recently - I wouldnt make a special trip or go to it if there is another better supermarket nearby

    Usually shop at Asda....there is a morrisons near where I work, but to be honest I don't like it at all.

    I go to Morrisons to get all the BOGOFS - they have some really good ones.
    It's only a mile up the road for me though - don't think I would make a special trip
    I haven't got one!

    Do they accept coupons - I know safeway used to?
    There is no need to run outside
    For better seeing,
    Nor to peer from a window.
    Rather abide at the center of your being.

    Don't like Morrisons - when our local was a Safeway the trolleys were all freely available, now you have to remember to get some change to put in the slot and "liberate" one, which is a damned nuisance! I don't like the checkpoint style security gates, either, and the uniformed security, complete with cap, patrolling the aisles - it makes me feel like a criminal! I only go in when in desperate need of some milk or something now, I find the whole atmosphere very off-putting, unnecessary, and bizarre!
  • no they don't take coupons at mine only if you buy the actual product.

    I wouldn't drive 25 mins to visit a Morrisons store and I work for them! But saying that if you are ever in the area for another reason, pop in you may be surprised. :)

    There are many BOGOF's and special offers on that you might be interested in. Check out their website and fixture ferrets to have a look.
