I would have thought a Waitrose Supermarket would have been better located here, as they're owned by John Lewis, it seems strange John Lewis letting a rival open up right next to them in the same building. It is fairly easy to get around the store, and the selection is good in most areas, although there were some notable issues. I did find the "Meal Deal" section consisting of bottled drinks, sandwiches, snacks etc being at the back of the store to be really annoying, and by the time I got there the section was depleted and out of stock of almost everything which is poor show. Sainsbury's Smartshop doesn't seem to work too well in this store due to the poor mobile signal, in some areas, I didn't have a service at all. Sainsbury's Smartshop is the feature which allows you to scan and bag items as you walk around the store before heading to the self-checkout to finish up. There is a Sainsbury's Cafe here, which is a dying breed now with Sainsbury's slowly phasing them across the store network. 3* - OK, it's a large Sainsbury's, fixing the signal issue and ensuring a good product selection in all areas are immediate improvements.

This is quite a nice branch of Tesco, located in Handsforth Dean, this is a big branch of Tesco,…read moresituated right next to a huge branch of Marks and Spencer. This store can be quite a nightmare to get to, being situated on a row of 5 or so roundabouts, especially when traveling in direction from North Manchester. This store has a small customer service desk, which is up to satisfactory standard yet could look much more welcoming and more like "the centre of the store" They was a Clubcard Machine, where you can print off vouchers and coupons however it seemed that it didn't work hence I couldn't log on and the problem was experienced by others as well, they was no staff around to know about it or even seem like it is being fixed. This store has a very big free from section, one of the biggest I have seen frozen-wise and helps to put many other branches (especially Middleton) to shame, their range was so big that is is worth traveling for and even includes some items that I can't even buy online at Tesco's website. They was a few disgusting things regarding this store, including an iced coffee, which was drank out of and then put back, drink was still in it, but they was not all of it left and it was open, I am glad I saw this before drinking out of it!!!! This store seems to be over 2 floors and is quite a nice store entering, with a standard Tesco looking including the yellow/ white colour flooring. I want to give this store 3 stars, mainly because of its' free from range and size, however I can't give any more because - The Clubcard machine was faulty - Customer Service could be slightly larger and more welcoming, especially for such a large store - The disgusting incident with the iced coffee - I have not had a good look around this store yet, as I just ran in to check the free from ranges while in the area.

Waitrose & Partners at Cheadle Hulme is a pretty good supermarket. While it is rather pricey, for…read moreboth branded and own-branded goods, for no good reason, it's still a rather nice store. PRO TIP: You can use the Waitrose Scan, Pay and Go, mobile app (or handheld scanners) to scan your shopping as you're going around the store, you can also claim one free coffee per day with your Waitrose card, using the coffee machine at the front of the store - BUT you must bring your own cup! From the parking lot to the store, it's fairly easy to navigate and get around the store, if using public transportation, you have Cheadle Hulme train station, opposite the supermarket, which is useful. The checkout process is also easy, with a large number of both manned and self-service checkouts. The selection in the store seems good, with most areas of the store from fresh fruit and vegetables, to snacks, dairy and toiletries always seems to be pretty good, they also have a nice Free From selection here, compared to the other major supermarkets. Not the largest Waitrose store, but still the selection is generally pretty good, and the staff are friendly, but far too expensive to do a regular weekly shop, with some items costing a good 20-25% more than rival supermarkets. 4*

I've gotta say that the best description that fits my wife and myself is 'foodies on a budget' - so…read morewhile we do our usual weekly shop at Aldi (where you can get some seriously good stuff), we also hit Waitrose at least once a week to pick up other 'essential' ingredients that you probably wouldn't find in most run of the mill supermarkets. On this occasion we bought perfectly ripe papaya, sushi rice, sesame oil, hot sauce, Canadian bread flour and Cartmel sticky toffee pudding amongst other items - quite an eclectic list but all stuff we really needed in to cook with. The staff are always friendly here and go the extra mile in finding stuff in the back, you get free coffee if you're a Waitrose card holder and a free newspaper at the weekend if you spend more than £10 - £5 in the week (not a bad deal at all!) Overall an always pleasant shopping experience, we could just do with a bit more cash to really indulge ourselves here each visit :-)

A fairly average-sized Asda store, located in Wythenshawe Civic Centre, there is also a Post Office…read morein this store, which is handy as it is the only Post Office in the town centre. The store was fine, although there are better ASDA stores nearby, the product selection was OK for a store of its' size, and I was able to pick up most of the few items I needed. Scan & Go Mobile is available in this store, where you can scan and bag items as you shop, I do think it is really difficult to pay here compared to other supermarkets as you can only go to one specific self-service checkout, which is on the end and mixed in with the others, this is the first ASDA location which does not either have a specific section or the technology added on to all self-service machines, I think it makes little sense to not signpost it, which leads to confusion, especially as there is no area to queue if you want this machine only. The staff seemed more annoying than helpful, after I found out where the machine was, the employee seemed eager to assist me, even though I told her I was fine and didn't require assistance, as I struggled to scan my barcode, she typed it in, she seemed to be doing it really slowly to waste time, and pressed the wrong button to delete everything to start again, she even touched my phone as the screen began to dim, without permission, which I didn't find to be appropriate, especially considering I didn't require help in the first place... someone should play her Raylee's entry into Melodi Grand Prix... "I don't need a hero" There was a pharmacy but this just seemed to get in the way, there were some warehouse/unloading cages around the store which also were an inconvenience, but this certainly wasn't as bad as many other stores nearby within the town centre. 3* - Pretty average ASDA, there are better stores nearby but with this being the only major supermarket in Wythenshawe town centre, a town of over 100,000 people, it is useful.

The aisles are jam packed with fresh fruit and veg at super low prices meaning you can live healthily on a budget. Throw in quality fresh fish, meat and snacks and you have yourself a winner. Ok there's a few gaps in specialist stuff which mean you still need to go to another supermarket too but overall 95% is available here. Loads of free onsite parking, just make sure you register your vehicle on the monitors before leaving or you may get a fine.

Waitrose on Park Lane serves the town centre of Poynton. The store is reasonably clean and tidy, it…read moreis slightly on the high-end side of things price-wise, but there were some good offers available on my recent visit to store. The car park appears to be shared by the Civic Hall and includes a doctor's surgery, but you do get two hours of free parking which is surely enough to do your shopping. The store is a decent size, and the checkout staff were friendly. I had some issues scanning my gift card at the self-checkout due to the sunlight reflection making it difficult for me to read the screen, and the screen to read the product barcodes, but a staff member noticed the kerfuffle I was facing and offered assistance, without me having to ask him. The store was reasonably well stocked, but I was unable to find the Waitrose Free From crumpets that I had come in for. The store layout could do with some work, as the coffee on offer appeared to be separate from the rest of the coffee section, which made little sense, as it was in a different area of the store. PRO TIP: Bring your reusable cup and get a free coffee with a MyWaitrose card 3* - A decent supermarket, with many positives for sure including the staff but far from perfect, it would also be useful for the store to have evening openings past 20:00 during the week.

Asda on London Road in Hazel Grove is a fairly decent sized supermarket, although styled as "Asda…read moreSupermarket", it is slightly smaller than a Superstore and doesn't have all the facilities you'd expect to find in an ASDA such as an optician, café or an ASDA branded pharmacy (There are a few small kiosks inside the store, offering a Post Office, and a Well branded pharmacy as well as a former travel agent which has now shut down due to being owned by Thomas Cook) The product range is reduced to what you'd usually find in an ASDA store, while they do have a good range of products and most the range you'd expect, the number of products and then the different types of a similar product is limited, for example, the milk section was rather small and they didn't have the large Lipton Iced Teas, but they still had a small selection of what you'd expect, making this place OK if you're not too bothered about flavours/brands etc. It isn't the best supermarket in Hazel Grove, and I much prefer Sainsbury's, but I do prefer this store to the larger location in Stockport town centre nearby. You potentially would be able to do a weekly shop here but it would be a big push and reliant on your flexibility and luck, but there are much larger supermarkets nearby whether you're looking for an ASDA or Sainsbury's, so that does make it better. 4* - Slightly generous rating given the fact it is far from the best supermarket in the area in terms of choice of groceries but it is different, it has some cool and unique parts about the shopping experience which I like, as they do have a good number of facilities here and I do prefer this to the larger ASDA store, the Post Office is handy and it is useful that they have managed to get a pharmacy to be located here, but I do find it strange Asda missed the opportunity to add their own pharmacy here, which they have in many other stores, again including Stockport nearby.

This branch of Sainsbury's is a very small store in Wilmslow, which in my opinion, in ways is more…read moreof a local-store, and certainly not somewhere you can conduct a weekly shop, especially when compared to other supermarkets, especially from the Sainsbury's brand who tend to occupy rather large stores and have a history of doing this at Heaton Park, Oldham and Blackpool, to name just 3 larger locations I have visited. The range in this store, was pretty basic and it was only a small store, the free from range was very poor, and the frozen selection was non-existent. The isles of the store as well were very short, and it seems 2 of them made up the size of an isle at another, larger store such as the branch at Heaton Park, Manchester for example. This store didn't have a good feel to it either, due to the size and range, it didn't have a cafe, which is similar to a nearby Waitrose supermarket. The prices were satisfactory, with some items being avaliable elsewhere for cheaper, the same or more expensive prices, for example Waitrose had better offers with newspapers and coffee, with a free newspaper if you spend £5 on a weekday or £10 on a weekend, and a free tea or coffee each day, but other items such as The new Kettle Bites seemed cheaper here by 50%, with it being £1 here but 50% more expensive at Waitrose for £1.50, although to be fair to Waitrose, they did have the full range and the 2 nicer flavours in my opinion, compared to this Sainsbury's who just had 2 out of the 4 in the full range that Waitrose did have. The staff didn't seem great, they seemed to be their just for the pay-check and not enhancing the customer experience and making it both better and easier for customers. This store is rather similar in size to the branch in Huddersfield, although I would say this store is slightly smaller. This store does have some nice stuff in, but that's about it and this store sadly isn't somewhere you could do a full weekly shop, and it does sadly deserve nothing more than a 2 star rating, which I still feel is quite fair.
