  • i buy what i like the taste of most. i love asda value bisquits etc.

    People are stupid to buy more expensive just because of what they think other people will think.

    I shop at a mixture of places. I tend to shop for some things at Lidl that I like, such as the salad cheese, lasagne (when it is on offer), egg noodles, fruit and veg etc. I like to keep an eye on their specials too.

    I do the majority of my shopping at Tesco purely because I can usually get what i need and use coupons - which makes sense to go there then. If I had to pay for everything without coupons then I would shop more at Lidl.

    I also go to waitrose when i have coupons as they take them and on a Sunday around 2pm I can get some cracking bargains of things I wouldn't normally buy (could afford them but object to spending obsene amounts of money for most things!)

    I will only ever buy what i need and anything reduced - often get great bargains - and I ALWAYS use coupons where I can - even if I could afford to spend more then I wouldn't - shopping economically with common sense makes perfect sense.

    And I am partial to the occasional Chinese Takeaway! Not the supermarket version either!
