ASDA is a grocery chain- a larger store chain in the UK. This location is right by the train station in bournemouth and was honestly a life saver for me as a traveler hanging out in this comfy college beach town. This store was massive and felt like the Walmart of UK. The prices were quite cheap and sold every type of thing from garden tools, economic clothing, basic electronics, food, soaps, and other housewares. It made my stay here economical and convenient as I was able to buy some food for a train ride to my next adventure or a low key dinner in my hotel room.
there's a clothing section so that if you're in a pinch and need clothes, this place would be reasonable. certainly not the most fashionable and sizes are larger but hey, it's a beach town so comfort is the fashion here
The produce section is actually very affordable and was how I managed to keep my produce load up while traveling. I would grab a bag of watercress, spinach, arugula mix and pair it some fruits on sale in my hotel room. they were all fresh, none were rotting or spoiling and were good priced.
There's a good cold foods section- rows and rows of it. The only down side to this place is a hot foods section. Thus, if you're looking for a hot bar besides rotisserie chicken, there's not that great of a section for this and no where to sit and eat unless you paid more. There's even a clearance section for the cold foods if you had a home and stove to cook some stuff fast.
There's also a money exchange and other random services here. in otherwords, a great community jack of all trades store here. Nothing fancy but definitely inclusive, affordable, large variety, large and pretty clean. read more
