    Hi daisyburps,

    As this is a shopping thread rather than old style I've moved it across to the Shop but Don't Drop board where you'll find lots of threads on offers available in different supermarkets.

  • food and cleaning products
    I tend to buy them both at Tesco, if i know Asda/morrisons have a "great deal" on a certain product i will make a detour before continuing to Tesco.
    Clothes
    Im rather "picky" about clothes, in the past i've spent £££ at Primark and other "lowcost shops" but i find the clothes dont last! ,, so now i tend to buy "more expensive" items less frequently!
    "Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone, and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering"
  • Food - Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury
    Cleaning Stuff - Aldi, Wilkinsons
    Clothes - I buy loads from charity shops and customise them to my own creation, Primark....erm.....I tend to hack last years stuff up and re-wear it!

    If you live in the North or the Midlands you can't beat Home Bargains for stuff like cleaning materials, toiletries and small items of homeware. Also great for toys if need to buy birthday/Christmas pressies for kids.

    The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water
    And I look like a tramp and tramps like us
    Baby we were born to walk
  • Food - Tesco, Co-op (plus a good wander around all the others when I get the chance)

    Cleaning Stuff - Lidl, Tesco whoevers got good deals on

    Clothes - TKMaxx mainly
  • I live in London and fruit and veg can be found at a fraction of the price from corner shops and other fruit/veg sellers.

    Other products such as food and domestic items I would go to co-op or tesco (if you time it right you can get some great clearance deals - around 8pm for shops that shut around 10pm)

    The Homebargains in my town is a poky little shop, with hardly any room and just 2 tills.You have to stand in the queue and pick the stuff off the shelves as you stand in line.I don`t go in often for that reason, plus the wait to be served etc.:mad:
  • I buy Ecover cleaning products from Supermarkets when they have special offers on.

    I buy toothpaste etc from Poundland.

    I buy fruit from the local market and I buy more expensive clothes (from Coast) which tend to last.
