Chit chat #4

[BelleAmie]

I have a riveting question for you all on a Saturday afternoon; where do you do your food shop?
I used to go to Morrisons but it’s further away and they’ve stopped/changed their loyalty scheme so now I go to Tesco - I like that the clubcard prices makes things cheaper (although people say it’s not cheaper, they just inflate the non-clubcard cost) and they have the handheld scanners so you can pack as you go round.
I’m wondering whether to start doing the bulk of shopping at Aldi/Lidl - is it actually cheaper to do a big shop there? Tesco always go on about the ‘Aldi price match’ so I’m not sure. I think I’m a bit snobbish put off because the shops are much smaller and seem a little bit more chaotic

i do most of mine in Asda because it’s the closest one to me and I Cba to drive the extra 4 miles to Tesco’s I get a few bits from Aldi too purely because they are cheaper and nice though. I don’t think I could do a full shop at Aldi, there’s some stuff they just don’t do and I don’t like their versions of some things!

@BelleAmie i do find it cheaper at Aldi/Lidl so I get lots from there (usually Lidl cos I didn’t have an Aldi but now we’ve got a new one that I’m gonna check out soon!!!) but there’s some stuff they don’t do or you know, branded stuff cos there’s some fake stuff I can’t accept and for that I usually get at Asda

 

[watermelon sugar]

I do my food shop at the Asda! I live a bit far from the Aldi to do it there but I would like to change but think I’d still need to go the Asda for a lot of stuff too!?

 

[GladiatorReady]

I do the majority of mine at Aldi, in particular for unbranded things like bread/meat/fish/veg/fruit, but will get the odd thing from other ones every so often (or in the case of the co-op, too often).

 

[Moongirl69]

There's an Aldi 5 mins from me so I get most of my food shop there and Morrisons for the rest. I love Aldi, mostly because they sell just food. I get too distracted by clothes, homeware etc.

 

[Penguin86]

I shop online at morrisons weekly (housemate gets staff discount) and do once a month freezer shop at iceland online. I don't drive and suffer from agoraphobia so find it hard to leave the house

you get your Dad to come kill spiders for you

 

[WilmaHun]

Yes! One min I’m in Asda to get one item next thing I’m upstairs buying everything for the house. I can avoid the random aisle of crap in Lidl / Aldi cos it’s mostly junk

Do you mind sending him round? Will he offer a discount for bulk catching or is it a set price per spider?

I’ll put in a request for you

omg does your Asda have an upstairs ours doesn’t

 

[BelleAmie]

Our Asda has an upstairs where the clothes and home stuff is and that’s where all my money goes. Food is downstairs

 

[Moongirl69]

Asda near me has a massive clothes bit upstairs.
I don't like Asda or Tesco.

 

[Peaches_xox]

omg does your Asda have an upstairs ours doesn’t

Yes! Upstairs for clothes, homeware, technology stuff & a cafe

 

[GladiatorReady]

I love Asda but it would take me almost two hours to walk each way...

...I don't like Asda that much.

 

[watermelon sugar]

I love the Asda but I think it’s cos I’ve always seemed to live close to one
Tesco seems good but I’ve never lived close to one to do a food shop
Mozza’s bakery is good
Saino’s is a bit rubbish, not much to it
Lidl bakery is the only good thing about the place
Aldi is really good but I reckon if I did my food shop there it’d just be mainly snacks
I’m not posh enough for Waitrose
Don’t live by a Co op
M&s is pricey but the snack bit is good

Mine doesnt either. It's just huge.
