It has fresh fruit and fizzy drinks and sweets and crisps for your kids. I would recommend this Tesco and every other Tesco because the quality is great and the workers are really kind and its even better once u get a club card. It is easy to sign up for one. If u have a club card they also send you vouchers for things you regularly buy so u can save money. AWSOME!!!

I like Lidl. It's inexpensive and its easy. And by inexpensive, I don't mean cheap. They very…read morecarefully pare down the extras to ensure a quick, efficient and low cost operation. Where the local Tesco might have five or six brands of a product, at Lidl there will be two. Usually only one. And this means that they can put out more product for shopping. I would find it difficult if Lidl was my regular shopping destination because there are certain things that I want that they don't ever stock. Pita breads, good ground coffee, bagels and hummus are some examples. But what they do have is generally exactly what I want. So I don't mind spending less at Lidl and using Tesco or Asda to fill in the blanks. Lidl does not accept credit cards. This is again to help keep their costs down. They do accept cash, of course. And they will be happy to accept your debit card. But Visa and MasterCard and definitely American Express are not welcome here. (You know that V/MC/AX charge upwards of 2.5% to the vendor, right?) Lidl started the trend of chaining up the shopping trolleys ("carts" or "wagons" might be your terms) and requiring a deposit to unlock them. You get the deposit back when you return the carts. It helps them to keep the costs down since they don't have to employ a cart wrangler, but I seem to forget this when I go shopping and I don't have a £1 coin.

I know Lidl gets a bad rep from most general supermarket-goers as being a cheap, second rate store…read morethat's full of sub-standard foreign imports; but for me, Lidl is an awesome shop to snag some great deals and bargains. While you won't find the finest cuts of chiselled sirloin on these shelves, you will find a fair few items that warrant a double take as you wander around the aisles. With items as cheap as single figure prices and a varied selection on general cupboard fillers, Lidl is the ideal place to shop if you're looking to shave a few unnecessary pounds off the weekly shopping bill. From fresh vegetables and fruit to canned goods and frozen foods, as well as a large selection of beers, wines and spirits, Lidl have a lot more to offer than most would even realise. They also boast an ever-changing range of homeware, which varies monthly, so it's always worth checking back to see what's on offer from time to time. In recent years, the chain store has seen a faster rapid growth spurt than you're average steroid abuser and you can now find a Lidl outlet in most towns and cities across the country. If you want to save yourself bit of extra cash, this is the place to go for the weekly groceries.

Not the best of supermarkets, in fact I drive halfway across Cardiff to shop in Sainsburys instead…read more The selection of food here is ok, but they really don't have much in the way of quality products or specialist foodstuffs. Additionally they're not particularly great when it comes to stocking organic and fair-trade food products (not verygood in this day and age). I have noticed that I have plenty of offers on in store, especially when it comes to branded goods such as Pringles, Coca Cola, Penguins etc... making them much better value than in other supermarkets. As you've probably noticed from my list however, they really only generally have offers on junk food (no wonder we're all getting obese). I do come here though, quite regularly when I'm after DVDs, video games and electronic goods, which in my experience are often cheaper than even Amazon.com. So that's something too really bear in mind.

But for the bulky thing ASDA is just the job. Yesterday we bought toilet rolls, cat food, washing and cleaning stuff and a stock of shampoo that should last until 2012. The clothing department seems to have lost the plot in the last few years. There used to be nice things and now we wonder who exactly wears this stuff. The home department is very cheap and good for replacing broken dishes and worn-out pans. Don't ever buy the 'Smart-Price' pans, they last about 11 seconds before losing all their coating and going rusty.

I love ALDI. I would be more of a regular here if I drive, but unfortunately it's not within…read morewalking distance to justify more frequent trips. However, whenever I make a visit I always end up leaving with a smile on my face. I'm a massively frugal person who doesn't like spending extra money on the same product, so when I walk out of ALDI with a week's worth of groceries for roundabout £10, I'm one happy camper. Atmosphere: The only major downside. The layout of ALDI is always a bit cramped, squeezed, and generally not the most pleasant of shopping experiences. Rather than the typical supermarket layouts of wide aisles and plenty of room to maneuver, you might find yourself twisting and turning your body to avoid the loads of other shoppers. Products: Another great thing about ALDI is that they always have a bunch of random international goodies hard to find in other supermarkets. Aside from that, even if you're fond of the familiar, they provide that as well. Meat prices are dirt cheap (a packet of chicken thighs went for a whole £4 cheaper than what I normally pay for at Morrison's!) with good quality cuts as well. Like I said, I always walk out with a massive haul and I've always spent pennies for it. The only bone I have to pick with ALDI is that unfortunately they haven't gotten on that online shopping / delivery bandwagon, which is disappointing because since this place is a bit far away from me. I would love to be a regular!

Medina Food Store is one of several convenience stores competing for the local business in the…read moreimmediate area. It stocks all of the usual staples like milk, bread, confection and soft drinks, as well as a good selection of inexpensive spices alongside the pulses and grains. And of course, there are the usual jars and cans, as well as an unfeasibly large selection of dates! More quirky items, not often seen in this kind of store, include large bags of BBQ charcoal stacked by the door, and a row of glittering shisha pipes racked up on the top shelf closest to the counter. They used to sell Halal meat from the chilled counter at the back of the shop. Sadly, these days this is filled with Arabian-style cakes and confection, as it wasn't feasible to continue stocking it. With the main serving counter at the front of the store, and the chilled counter at the rear, it meant that two people had to be consistently present, which just wasn't economically viable. There was insufficient trade to make this option workable. They tried operating both counters with only one member of staff, but shop-lifting became such a big issue they have been forced to suspend meat sales until they can find a Halal butcher to take the counter over as a separate concession. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the theft of meat is pretty common. It's a high-cost item that people have found increasingly difficult to afford as the recession grinds on. All meat retailers are suffering the same problem across they board; supermarkets and independent stores alike. Peshwan, who was serving when I called in recently, told me that things are looking up. The owner is talking to a butcher at the moment, and so the issue looks like it maybe resolved quite soon.
