What's your favourite supermarket?

I live in the city centre, why would I be rushing to the supermarket for wellies?

Waitrose

Someone commented on clientele, well all I can say is that the majority of the clientele at my local Aldi drive high end cars, SUVs and 4x4s and the like and live in £250k+ properties. Whereas it's not uncommon to find lower class pseudo-rich shopping for essential range produce in Waitrose :rotfl:

I don't care where they live and what they earn, just as long as they're not going round the supermarket in their onesies, screeching obscenities at their multiple (badly-behaved) kids, and abusing the cashiers/nicking stuff, etc.. a la ASDA on a Saturday morning :undecided Not sure about Aldi, as we don't have one local to us, but the nearest Lidl is a bit of a chav-magnet, too.

Never experienced that type of behaviour in any of the three Aldi stores I regularly visit. Wouldn't know about Lidl, don't have one local enough to visit and I avoid Asda/Tesco like the plague.

Asda

I dislike Tesco, I don't know why - I just don't 'enjoy' (as much as you can enjoy) shopping in Tesco. The one on the edge of town is too big - overwhelmingly big - and has no flow to it IMO. There's just too much that you can't possibly look at everything.

The smaller Tesco is pleasant enough - but I still don't like it.

Sainsburys I like and, when shopping online, I use them the most. I mostly shop at Asda when I'm doing it in person, I like their store, it's well laid out, the aisles are big enough and it's less than 10 minutes away there and back.

We don't have a Waitrose or Budgens. Our M&S only has a small range of food so I don't really count it as a 'supermarket', Morrisons is right out of town and impossible to get to (though I do quite like it when we go but it's roughly a tenner each way in a taxi so reserved for times when they have a deal I can't miss.... haven't been for about 2 years), Aldi is too far away to walk with shopping and Lidl is okay, but only a smallish store here

Lidl

I've gone for Lidl. We don't have Aldi in Northern Ireland but I went into the one in Liverpool and found it to be a complete nightmare of a shop

I used to be loyal to sainsburys but my nearest one is a 40 mile round trip and is always freezing in store

None of the big supermarkets in my nearest towns offer the range of products I was used to having lived in London all my life. I often have to travel huge distances if I want an unusual item ( asda staff didn't know what porcini mushrooms were and tesco didn't do black beans nor rice wine )!!

So I stick to lidl now for the basics and just go the the big stores when im in that particular town to pick up store cupboard unusuals

For pure quality I went with M&S. Everything they sell is divine.

However, for price and every day shopping I choose Aldi!

Sainsbury's

I have all the supermarkets fairly close by. I do my main shop in Sainsburys. The store is large with plenty of space between the aisles and I can almost always get everything I want. I don't find them any more expensive than other supermarkets - in fact I almost always put my shop into "mysupermarket.co.uk" and often Sainsbury comes out the cheapest. Even when not the cheapest it is usually cheaper than Tesco and Asda.


I buy bits and pieces in M&S (my local stores has quite a large food section) and Waitrose.


I go to Lidl about once every 6 weeks and Aldi maybe twice a year. I much prefer Lidl to Aldi. They just don't sell the kind of items I buy or if they do (chickpeas, lentils) the packets are just too small

Aldi

I voted aldi - do my main shop there every week. and use the local village shop for everything else. but the local shop probably carries more lines than Aldi does - but at village shop prices!

Aldi

Aldi here too, we have a Lidl locally but last time I went I got invited to have a fight so I don't go there now as fighting isn't on my list of favorite pass times.
