What can you say about a chain supermarket that hasn't been said already?…read more Well I've been using this ASDA since it opened (even worked there when it opened) and it's changed a lot. It has everything from the usual clothes, food, electricals etc to a pizza counter, fish counter (in store) as well as an optician, photo processing and pharmacy (past the tills). There appear to be 3 areas dedicated to promotions. The first to the left of the Produce (fruit & veg), then in the middle of the store (till side) and then the back wall (beside the frozen food). Saying that the prices go up and down like a yo-yo so you have to watch whether things are really the best price or not, however with current competition the prices are usually on the low side. There is a "Grocery Collectuon" point at the back of the ample car park, for people who have ordered on-line and don't want to go into store (not really that busy). Overall it's like most larger size stores but not as wide a range as other stores (Govan or Cumbernauld), a good all rounder.

Ahh good old Asda! I do my weekly shop at this Asda as I find it to be the cheapest of the…read moresupermarket chains and this branch is huge. I always go in for food but spend at least 45 minutes wondering around the George section then meandering over to the books and magazines taking a detour past the DVDs and Cd's. Eventually thought I do reluctantly go and get some food. This Asda is open 24 hours which is great for me because I am an incredibly impatient shopper and can't stand crowds so I tend to go late at night when this place is more or less dead. I know the self service till things are hated by many but I love them because it means I don't need to actual speak to any of the mutant staff, phew! The only real issue I have with this Asda are the fegs, let me explain what these are. In England they have chavs but in Scotland we have neds. However in the Ferguslie area of Paisley (which is right beside this Asda branch) we have an extra strong breed of ned known as the feg. They run riff in Asda but if you go late at night but not tooooo late, say around 9 o'clock you can usually avoid them.

Costco itself was awesome, this review is more for the food court only…read more Use the kiosk to order and get in line until you hear your number. We got the following: - one hotdog w/o onions - one hotdog w/ onions - jacket potatoes with chili - mango smoothie - drinks from fountain machine Hotdog: the hotdog itself is good, the bun they use here was dry and falling apart. If you order your dog with onions, it's already inside the bun. No relish, so all you get is ketchup, mustard and mayo. The jacket potato was decent, i wish you could add cheese on top of the chili (didn't see that option when order). Mango Smoothie was probably the best of all the items we ordered. Coke Zero - do UK folks like their soft drinks flat? Their drinks were all flat and no carbonation. Of a food courts that I've tried in different countries, I would have to rate UK's way at the bottom.

An experience for three travelers. Very grateful for Costco being here, (we went into the store too…read morefor groceries (the lowest cost and best selection of our trip)! We 3 did figure out what to do and gassed up our rental car, line wasn't long either. 5 stars so far. Our friend paid with her Costco card ... but noticed a charge on her card later - a pre-charge or something... in Addition to the gas Cost.... Odd, we were told the charge would be taken off when the gas bill cleared. Didn't understand, not our experience in USA.

I wonder how this store has a new page now, as they only closed for a short period for a revamp…read more The store before was disorganised, and wet floor signs everywhere. The new shop is such a nice change with the freezers and fridges up to shoulder level. There is a costa brand coffee machine in store so you can heap a cup of coffee on the way out. There are self service tills and checkouts but still not enough staff to man them. Always been a good selection of wine available at this shop. I did spot a cash machine that wasn't there before.

I like the Co-op. It's nice to know that the place where you buy your groceries is at least having…read morea go at being vaguely ethical and I think that quite often the Co-op even manages to succeed. If you shop here regularly I recommend signing up as a member and once a year they'll send you some money back, which you can either keep or choose to pass on to one of their charities. This particular store isn't huge but it does have a good selection of stock. I think it does particularly well on fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh flowers and wine and beer. I really like that the wine and beer section is slightly seperated from the main part of the store - it even has its own dedicated check out and entrance, so it's almost like a seperate off license. Being so close to Central Station means it's the perfect place to stop for groceries on the way home and it's a good bit larger than other nearby options. I only have two complaints that prevent this from getting 5 stars: 1. The layout isn't perfect, and things feel especially cramped near the prepacked sandwiches and magazines 2. They have a hot food section that almost never seems to have anything in it.

I stopped off here yesterday evening on my way back to Kilmarnock from Edinburgh. I was very…read morepleased to find a large supermarket that was open 24 hours and especially an Asda as it's my favourite supermarket! It's a very large store with a good clothing range so I had a browse there before I bought the groceries. I liked the freshness of the salads here and the large range of vegetables and fruits. I found the staff very helpful and friendly too. There are plenty of disabled parking bays all along the front of the store which is better than at many supermarkets where there are only a few at the side. There are two free withdrawal cash points at the front as well.

Staff in Asda are not paid as much as staff in some other supermarket chain but their green uniform…read morehas to be better than that colour the poor Morrisons staff have to wear. This is a medium size Asda that sells clothes, mobiles, home stuff and food. What is impressive though is the staff. Ninety five percent of who know how to smile and try to make the best of their lot. Does it not just make a huge difference when someone who you have to deal with is smiling and friendly? It kinda makes you want to go back.............. My advice? Oh try it out and smile right back and make their day :))))) I hope you are reading marketing managers lol.......

Okay, so this is ASDA so I'm sure everyone knows the kind of groceries that you will find here. My…read moreinterest in this ASDA doesn't just lie with the food related goodies, no sir, I head straight to the CDs and DVDs section. I have picked up DVDs for as little as £2 here, such as classics like Jumanji, My Girl, but for that bargain price I've also bought newer releases such as Step Up, Step Up 2, Madagascar 1 & 2 and Kite Runner. So definitely check out the DVDs here if you're looking for a little boost for you collection I also treated myself to a nice hand blender from here for only £8! Now I can make delicious smoothies for breakfast. Oh and it's also open 24 hours, hurrah!

Another wee visit to one of my favourite Stores to pick up an order I had placed online, I always…read morelike to pick my parcels at Govan as it is handy for work and it is a great store for shopping anyway. By ordering online you know if you are going to get the correct size that might not be available instore. By regularly ordering online I get first chance to view the sale and I lkie a bargain. I am a bit of a lazy shopper but I like nice clothes at a reasonable price, good quality and good fit. Tonight I picked up some Wonderfit Jeans, I bought some in Grey last week instore and they are so comfortable. I never been comfortable in Jeans after buying some cropped ones in the Summer I now have new black ones, a new dress for the weekend and a top to match my Jeans all for £33.00

I placed an online order with HoF and paid for next-day delivery. I received a confirmation from…read moreEvri that the package was out for delivery, but then I received an update from them one hour before the delivery time slot indicating that they could not deliver the package until the next business day. Four days on, Evri cannot locate the package. Today, I attempted to contact HoF customer service, which is an exercise in frustration. I requested a full refund but have only been refunded the delivery charges. Had I known that HoF uses Evri I would have never placed the order. I certainly would never order from HoF. I honestly can't say whose customer service is worse - HoF's or Evri's. They're both terrible. Unless you enjoy being gaslighted (by both HoF and Evri), I would highly discourage anyone from making an online purchase from HoF.

My review today is not for the shop as a whole but of the free personal shopping service they…read moreoffer. I have used this service twice now and loved it both times. The first time I used it I had lost a lot of weight and did not know what suited my new figure. I was going to a wedding so went to get an outfit for that. I think if your going to do this you should be open-minded and try everything they bring, this is what I did and I got a beautiful dress that I would never have picked for myself. I have a wedding coming up in December so decided to do it again. They offer services for any type of outfit you need, like going on holiday, new work clothes and they also offer a wardrobe renewal if you fancy a change. I booked online which was quick and simple they ask you a few questions about what your looking for, what you like, colours and your sizes. I was given a 90 minute slot. I headed to the personal shopper area, based near the men's shoes department. I was met by my personal shopper, Jordan. He explained that the normal rooms they use were busy so I was brought to a make shift dressing room in Mr Fraser's old office, which was stunning, apparently not many people get to see in the office. It made the experience even more special. Jordan asked me a few questions and then he headed off to find me some outfits. I sat on the couch and looked at magazines and relaxed. Jordan then arrived with armfulls of dresses. I then began trying them on. There was no pressure to like them, but I tried them all on. Nothing in the first lot suited. So Jordan headed off again. The 2nd last dress I tried on was the one, loved it, and again like my first personal shopper experience it was a dress I would never have picked for myself. I would highly recommend giving this a go, I think you worry that you are going to feel pressured into buying something but it's all very chilled out and fun to get a little pampered.

This little Sainsbury's has some tough competition, with two separate branches of Tesco nearby but…read moreit seems to get by. It's definitely on the small side, but the layout is pretty smart and it doesn't suffer as much from the cramped feeling you get in a lot of these smaller stores. The staff do a pretty good job of keeping it clean and tidy and don't try to restock the shelves during peak shopping hours. The staff are pretty quick at working through the queues at the checkout too - these can get quite long at around 6pm but it's deceptive, you won't need to wait long to get served. There are a few self service checkouts too, which obviously help, and actually work fairly well most of the time. It has a decent selection of fresh fruit and veg, even managing a few less common items, as well as sandwiches, ready meals, fresh meat and fish, a small frozen section as well as jars and packets, magazines, chocolates, etc. Usually they also have a stand near the tills that sells things for the home - coffee mugs and so on. For such a small store they have a fair selection of wine and beer as well. Most of the time you should be able to find most of the things you might need here. The only problem is the price. As with any of these smaller supermarkets you can expect to pay a premium for convenience. Don't expect to find cheaper options for products when they have limited shelf space - only the medium to high price point items will be available.

This store is a recent addition to the area…read more This store feels really cramped and very claustrophobic as if they have tried their very best to cram as much as possible into a small space, not a place that l would recommend for your weekly shop as a lot of the items here are on the high side. I would describe it only as OK nothing special. The security guards stand and stare at you as if you are a robber. The fire alarm in this store goes off every 15 or so minutes as there is a fault some where.

Poundland. The land of things that cost a pound…read more There are so many of these shops now, it's unbelievable. This one has the unique selling point of being on Union Street and being pretty big, though not as big as the one on Sauchiehall Street which boasts being the biggest in Europe, for better or worse. There's some obscurities in here in the form of children's toys from trends 5 years ago, spraypaint and cheap stationary right through to general madness that is surely never bought by anyone? Who knows. It's decent for bits and bobs, but be warned, it's not so easy to find what you're looking for and it's often mobbed. Everything costs a pound in here. Just to clarify that.

It seems that these days no city centre is complete without a small collection of pound shops, as…read morethe economy crunch continues these are becoming more popular and socially acceptable appealing to anybody who is keen to grab a canny bargain. I'm telling you, you have no idea quite how much you are being ripped off by supermarkets until you have a browse in one of these shops. In this branch I found large selection of multi-pack cans of juice, crisps, sweets, blank CDs and toiletries which I deemed to be categorical as excellent bargains which I hastily bought thinking haha in your face co-op as left the shop.
