    Aldi, Lidl, Iceland, Morrison's. I rarely go to Tesco (and only if absolutely necessary.)

    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Iceland cos it just feels a bit grubby, one stop/nisa and the like - just too expensive

    I avoid Co-Op/Nisa unless I really need to shop on Sundays after 5pm.

    Otherwise I rarely use Aldi/Lidl because it seems easier to just do one shop at Tesco rather than have to look elsewhere for some bits.

    Not much choice in my town but I avoid Co-op (expensive and a 30 minute walk). There's only Morrison and Budgens, otherwise convenience/booze/lottery-type shops. Tesco, LIDL, Aldi are a drive, others a bigger drive!
