Safeway's Booze Bargains!!

talkshop

I thought all Safeways were changing to Morrissons stores.....the one my sister works at is now Morrissons.

Morrissons is my nearest supermarket, and I rate them very highly. All the delivery trucks have Safeway on the side of them since the got taken over.

Here is my order of preference for locally available shops.

1) Morrissons
2) Somerfields
3) Sainsburys
4) Tesco
5) Aldi

Somerfields would have made position 1, but there is no free car parking, so I have to walk and therefore cannot carry much. ( I refuse to pay parking fees)

Plumb do you know when the Bath store is being done?

I wasn't aware that Somerfields had taken over Safeways, thought that was Morrisons.

We have a Somerfields very local and they are great. Quality of stuff very good, meat better than Tesco or Asda and the weekly offers are really worth buying. Stuff from the instore bakery is delicious, especially the bread and the double choc chip muffins.

Morrisons were allowed to take over Safeway on the basis that they had to get rid of a certain number of stores - all to do with monopolies commission and that kind of gumph.

Anyway, they have sold the excess to Somerfield - but most are still to be Morrisons.

My local store turned briefly into Morrisons then into Sainsburys.

We have 4 safeways within a 15 minite drive away and were told the bigger stores were going as morrisons and the 2 smaller stores were to be somerfields, so now we will have 2 morrisons, 3 somerfields,1 sainsburys and 0 tesco or asda -now why that just aint right. >:(

You wanna count it as a blessing that you missed the half priced Teachers. You might have been tempted to buy it. That stuff is bad. Give me a single malt any day.

It seems to be the little stores that Morrisons didn't want. I know ours is very small. We'll just have to wait and see what Somerfields is like when they open in a couple of weeks.
