There are plenty of arguments for and against the social impact of segregated communities in…read moreManchester. One of the overwhelming advantages of such communities however, which I'm sure will gain universal approval is their complete immunity from being threatened by giant retail food chains. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones that've been driving out small independents outta business across across the country. I LOVE the fact that the communities remain militantly loyal to local foodstores like Madina. Upon close inspection, turns out the reason is a little more complex than just cultural affiliation. One of the main one reasons? This place is AWESOME!! There's literally a library of spices to buy (at BARGAIN prices) and experiment at home with. Any foodie/charlie out there who's sick of the monotonous nature of the shopping experience, will find this to be their culinary/chocolate factory. True, London probably bigger volume of such establishments, but they probably cant beat us for sheer quality. So next time you're stuck in traffic driving to town on Stockport road (through Levenshulme) have a break, and instead of having a kitkat, park up and have a cheeky gander.

Despite having a deceptively small storefront, once inside Madina Superstore turns out to be…read moreanother Desi supermarket easily on a par with branches of Worldwide Foods or Manchester Superstore. With the UK 'hungry gap' upon us, I bagged a box of lychees plus sundry Desi vegetable and fresh herbs. Freshness of the produce was very good, although a bit of banter with a Desi customer revealed that he was passing up on the tinda as being too big - although this is no doubt an out-of-season issue. For the mobile cosmopolitan foodie such as myself, the aim is to know where all the ethnic food stores are so that ethnic food shopping can be done with a minimum of detour from other city business and pleasure. Although there is nothing really oustanding about Madina Superstore to make you travel beyond your nearest Desi superstore, it is nice to have a proper Desi supermarket in Levenshulme to save Levy locals a trip up Stockport Road to Longsight. And visitors such as myself can combine a visit to Madina Superstore with a trip to the monthly Levy Market, or else the permanent Trove café bakery or POD deli.

This is a nice Tesco store, although it is small, especially for a "Tesco Superstore", the store…read morestill looks and feels new as it was refurbished towards the end of 2019, after being converted from a Jack's store (Tesco's failed attempt to create a budget supermarket brand to compete with Aldi and Lidl). It is located in the Rossendale town of Rawtenstall on Bocholt Way. They have the handheld Scan as You Shop Scanners here which was a pleasant surprise, most Tesco stores have them now but it never said they did online, so I presume they are a new addition. I like how this store is located with views of the river, this does mean the only way to access it as a pedestrian is via a very small and narrow bridge, this could be a nightmare to cross in the dark as it isn't very well lit, it could also be a problem if you need extra space to cross. I did find the whole of Rawtenstall to be pretty poor for pedestrian access anyway. The product ranges is OK, I couldn't find what I was looking for, but most items you'd expect to find here were on offer in some shape or form, which is of course supported by many other supermarkets also within Rawtenstall town centre including Iceland, Marks and Spencer, Aldi, Lidl and ASDA, the latter is the only store bigger than this one, as many of them are pretty small. 3* - I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but it isn't too bad.

According to the locals, this is a bigger store than the regular ones. If I get a chance to visit a regular store, I'll confirm, lol. This one does have 2 levels, and you can take the lift (elevator) or the escaltors escalators. The escalator going down wasn't working the times I've been, but just walk down anyway. They have cashiers for check out as well as self check-out lanes. Prices here are awesome! I'm a huge fan of their bakery bread and the snacks. Their sparkling water game is pretty strong, too. Don't be shocked if I check in here again, lol!

If you're around Liverpool, Tesco's of all versions are dotted around places: metro, local, express, superstore. If there are any more, you'll have to let me know! The Liverpool One branch of Superstore is not actually the most super I have come across in Liverpool as there is one in Litherland which is gargantuan in comparison. However, Liverpool One Tesco is certainly what the town needs. You still have plenty of choice here, a variety of sections such as deli, clothes and international foods to keep you adding more to your basket! I find this place more of a relaxing and enjoyable shopping experience as opposed to the Metro version by the big screen, because its more spacious and offers an abundance of products. The location isn't great if you're driving there as it'll cost you pounds to park somewhere nearby but certainly convenient when you have other chores to do around town.

A very large Tesco Extra store in Burnley town centre, it's close to the bus station too, making…read morethis one of the easier supermarkets in Burnley to get to on public transport, compared to ASDA and Sainsbury's. A typical large Tesco store, where you go in through a sheltered car-park and then up a high gradient walkway into the main store, there is also a lift if you prefer which is right by the Costa Coffee location which is inside the store. The store could do with some TLC from some areas to match the modern, large, grand exterior with the slightly outdated interior. The selection in most areas was pretty good, they had a great selection of branded ready meals and soups but this came at the expense of their Tesco Finest selection, which I actually prefer. While they had a fantastic selection of booze, I do find their to-go food range was a little disappointing, most other areas were average/good. Scan as You Shop Facilities are offered by this store, like most big supermarkets now, they also have the newer, more modern scanners (only in a selected number of stores) which I find are cooler and easier to use, making your shopping experience much quicker. The staff are friendly too. 4* - My favourite out of the supermarkets in Burnley town centre, not a bad Tesco location for sure.

This "super" Tesco is one of the better ones-- it's massive, tidy and for the most part, very well…read morestocked (aside from Sundays where everything is pretty much picked through and gone from the Saturday craziness. So if you are looking to do a full shop, forget it). I'm still getting used to the grocery superstore milieu in the UK, but thus far I'm firmly in the Tesco camp. They have better deals, a better selection (well, the bigger ones like the Burnley location does anyway), and a healthy book aisle. Truly one stop shopping, Tesco is a discovery waiting to happen. One criticism of this location in particular is that they keep moving things-- it may not seem like a huge deal, but when you're used to finding your, oh, minced turkey in one place and then all of the sudden it's not there anymore, it's a little off-putting. Also, they stop carrying things every so often. Not just run out of it-- just completely stop selling it, without warning or notification. Like Method hand soap and Tom's toothpaste. Who's with me to join the campaign for consistent products at Tesco? (Or at least to get them to keep carrying the stuff they used to sell?). In any case-- yay, Tesco!
