    That's fair enough, then! Might as well make the most of it while youre there!
  • We live approx 5 miles west of Cambridge. We have Morrisons 3 miles away, one of the biggest Tesco in the UK 5 miles away (used very occasionally - this store drives me insane due to it's size and constant moving around of stock :D) an Aldi and Iceland about 6 miles away, Waitrose about 8 miles away, and 11 miles away another big Tesco + Sainsburys + Asda within a mile of each other. Plus a Sainsburys in Cambridge city centre, plus another Tesco about 7 miles away at Milton, and another about 12 miles away at Royston.

    Sainsburys is where we do our main shop, but we use Morrisons for top ups/special offers, plus there are certain things we only get in Tesco/Asda/Waitrose :)

    I have a Somerfield, Aldi, Lidl, Iceland, Sainsburys and Tesco all less than a mile from my house. Infact Somerfields car park is over my back wall.

    Then less than 5 miles we have Co-op, asda, Farmfoods, Morrisons. We are quite lucky really.
    £100 - £10,000
  • I was thinking about this this morning on the way back from shopping and was going to post the same.

    In Ipswich, there is a large supermarket at every junction on the a14 from west to east. (except wherstead but I'd include Jimmy's farm ;)) oh and there's the Suffolk food hall at that junction.

    Asda, Morriosns, Tesco, Sainsburys amd then opposite my house a co-op and Lidl. More in town M&S, Aldi, Sainsburys, Iceland etc etc
    Always on the hunt for a bargain.
  • Within 5-10 mins drive we have Tesco extra, tesco, asda, sainsburys, waitrose, iceland, lidl, aldi, netto - i think that is all of them which are a short drive!! spoilt for choice lol
