How many people shop at more them one supermarket?
Comments

I shop at Tesco, Asda, Lidl, Supervalu (locally owned), Home Bargains and Poundstretcher. I use M&S only for the dine in for £10, Percy Pigs and pizza.
Unfortunately we have no Aldi or I'd be there too!
I buy all meat from local farmshop, it is dearer but fantastic quality. I buy chicken from Moy Park factory shop.
I have been known to hit all of the above in one day

I shop at several, wherever the offers are on!
I use mostly Aldi & Morrisons, then home bargains, B & M bargains, & Asda & Tesco when there are offers. The only place I never go is Sainsburys, always seems too expensive, although I will be going at Christmas to spend the free £80 I have earnt so far on my nectar card from nectar canvas surveys!!0 -
As there doesn't seem to be THE ideal supermarket, I shop at all three in my area : Sainsburys - I can park free for two hours which means I can do the rest of the high road; Waitrose - the staff are nicer and the meat counter is better; M&S has good reductions early in the day, not just before closing. I really wish we had an Aldi, Lidless or Asda, but no such luck.0

Another shopper with no car.
Tesco online (£1 delivery slot) to get things like loo roll, cupboard items and chilled like cheese. Going to the store via bus and taxi home would cost £7.50.
Iceland to fill the freezer - we switched recently because it got so expensive to do it at Tesco and a convenient branch opened. All for bus fare and I try to work it in when I would be going into town anyway to do other bits.
First couple of months our spend was the same but got loads more for the money. Last time we managed a £4 saving :j
M&S for a few bits as a treat when I have vouchers from cash back or deals.
Mum does top ups at Sainsburys occasionally with the Nectar point vouchers because she works near there. But has been using Iceland more and more for work lunch ingredients and so on.0 -
I seem the odd one out here but I do all my shopping in Waitrose. I like the quality and don't find it any more expensive.0

I'd do more of my shopping at Waitrose if only my local branch had a car park.0 -

Free parking helps a great deal.:j
I dislike having to put in a £1 for the trolleys as I normally don't have one because I use plastic everywhere. I did have the trolley token but its done missing, need to get another one, all my local supermarkets now have these £1 slot trolleys.:mad:0 -

Agree totally, I'd be lost without my tokens and they do go missing it's true.0 -
if I am shopping one supermarket I will have separate "bargain" basket. this basket has all offers on in other supermarkets. as long as I remember to have enough items to compare and other rules, works out just fine. I look up before going for big shop so I now offers on other supermarkets so I don't miss out.SPC #2138
