What's your favourite supermarket?

Wholefoods!

Due to its expense, I limit this to a once every couple of months bag of lovely treats like grinding my own coffee beans, olives the size of eyeballs, various condiments that other supermarkets don't sell and pricey chocolate, plus stock up on tofu, posh toiletries, a fancy loaf and rare breed eggs.

But I have no loyalty and will just pick up stuff from Aldi, M&S, Lidl, Morrisons and get the odd bulky order delivered from Tescos.

Waitrose. There are far fewer poor smelly people, and it's all so civilised. Heaven!

I rarely notice the other shoppers.
I'm there to buy what I need and get out and back to more interesting things - not conduct a social survey.

I do think Waitrose do especially cater for people with more time on their hands with their free coffee offer who want a "social experience" from their shopping rather than shop and go. I'm sure it fulfills a need

Which appeals to the unemployed! Go in Waitrose and buy a few bits from Essential range and you can have a free coffee whilst you're there!

It seems to me that Waitrose are are attracting the lower class with free coffee whilst Aldi are attracting the upper classes with higher range goods for discount prices. Those of us who shop at Aldi can well afford to buy a proper coffee from a proper coffee shop

You are a marketing dream!

It's the wealthy people who shop savvy, wherever they go. To go into a supermarket to feel superior is a bit sad

Whichever one will deliver the stuff I want at the time I want.

Currently, that's Tesco.

Morrisons

I would say Morrisons is my favourite although the convenience of click and collect means that I shop at Tesco now.

I don't find Lidl and Aldi that much cheaper, but I like seeing what they have each week. My main gripe with them is they never have enough tills open.

Perhaps, but I'm happy to pay the difference if it means not having to rub shoulders with the chavs and proletariat.

Oh my goodness, you are a snob beyond snobs. Either that or a troll. You've clearly never been to an Aldi store. Try it. You might be pleasantly surprised. I'm middle class and previously shopped at Waitrose/Sainsbury but now I buy 90% of my weekly groceries at Aldi.

Oh, and I've yet to meet any "chavs" in there.

Morrisons

Used to be Sainsburys but it kept getting more and more expensive so started shopping in Morrisons, the stores aren't as nice to walk round but the produce especially bakery and meat is if a good quality.
