    the only drawback is that there is only Morissons and Aldi, while I would like Asda and Lidl
    Aldi has worst quality in contrast to Lidl
    And Morissons doesn't have so much variety as Asda
    I hate Tesco and ofcourse Waitrose and M&S are ridiculously expensive
    that's the only drawback

    any opinions?

    I couldn't possibly advise buying in an area that doesn't have an Asda.

    technically it has, but it's 8 min by car
    I am more worried by the lack of Lidl

    not convenient
    they force you to spend £25
    and it costs £1

    if you order 200 times in a year is a whopping £200!

    plus you don't see what you get
    you don't take advantage of offers
    you forget what you want to buy if you don't visit it

    I think you need to pop over to the food and groceries board. I would teach you the basics of shopping but they are much more helpful over there.

    If you need to order shopping 200 times a year you so desperately need help. Go on, go ask them :D

    ... Grays ... while I would like ...Lidl
    You're in luck, then

    Aldi has worst quality in contrast to Lidl

    It's a bit more complicated than that. Aldi is more "British" in its products, and Lidl is more continental.

    South Ockendon is very far from Grays, it doesn't worth the fuel and time

    Aldi has very low stock maintenance and everything I tried so far is absolutely garbage, from chicken, tomatoes, to rubbish bags and shower gel

    You're not meant to throw them all into the pie.
