Sainsburys, Tesco, M&S, Waitrose, Iceland and Poundland.
However, I would shop at Aldi if there was one closer.0 -
Before moving to a new area, Waitrose and M&S. Moved out to the country and found I had a local Tesco and Aldi, started at Aldi.
Aldi went completely down hill as it got too busy so now I have gone back to Waitrose for fruit, the local butcher for meat and almost everything else comes from Makro or Amazon. I still buy half a dozen things in Aldi that I like and that they're unable to screw up.

Ldl, because it's closest. Once I've "got the basics" there I've usually got more than enough food for a week for about £6-8 tops and so there's no point in venturing further afield, perchance to find some gem of a product I'd like to eat.
I have an Aldee coming soon .... that'll be exciting.
Sainsbobs is my nearest of the Big 4, but I dislike their range/prices and the actual shop itself. All others are a 6-8 mile drive, so it never happens.
I've always dreamt of living close to an Azdah. That's my "dream shop" for the sheer range of products they stock and the exciting stuff you can find in their chiller meal for one ranges.0 -
Asda and Iceland. I don't like Aldi.0

Aldi, Waitrose and the Co-op. And occasionally Asda.0

I used to shop at Morrison's until a super large Tesco's was built within walking distance from where I live.
So I now use Tesco's and Aldi for the main shop and top shopping from the Co-op and Iceland.

Main shop is at Aldi with extras from Sainsbury's that I can't buy there. Usually pop in Iceland too as it's between the two.
I also nip into Poundland, Poundstretcher, Home Bargains, Fulton Foods, B & M and FarmFoods if I am in the vicinity, though not on a regular basis, and stock up on any decent bargains I spot.
We have a Morrisons and Asda but too big, busy and noisy for my liking so never shop there. I got quite excited last year when there was talk of a Lidl opening here but the plans were shelved. A shame really as my nearest is 10 miles away so that's not on the agenda either."If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0 -
By choice Aldi for my main weekly shop, although as I shop on the way home from work, sometimes I am based in an office where Lidl makes more sense, and if I'm working from home, then Morrisons.Zebras rock0

Split between Aldi and Lidl as they're both in walking distance. It depends on who's got the best offers on or products we prefer. Wife likes Lidl's Ryvitaalike crispbreads. I prefer Aldi's Bratwurst, and, sweet potatoes for convenient size. I will also buy specific items in Sainsbury's, M&S or Iceland. Being retired, I can afford to walk to town every day and shop around for best value.The mind of the bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.
