This is a handy medium sized grocers and greengrocers that sells both Asian (Indian subcontinent)…read moreand English food, and a wide range of both, with a halal meat counter at the back and chest freezers with a range of fish. I go there for the basics like milk and marge, but also for rice, herbs, spices, cheap cleaning items, large bags of dried fruit and nuts, oven chips, frozen samosas, and tahini and tinned chickpeas for making my own hummus. They also have a very big range of soft drinks. Service at the till is no better or worse than most shops, the people at the tills are mostly young and a little offhand, like shop assistants in most small businesses. But they are helpful if you need to ask them where to find something. I like that they open slightly longer than average hours, too, it makes it more convenient to shop here.

Feeling shackled by the supermarket chains? Want to break free of buying your goods at silly…read moreprices? Wish your money would go back into Yorkshire? I might have an answer for you: Leeds Kirkgate Market NOW DELIVERS. Whaaat? C'EST VRAI! Via this amazing company and website, MarketDelivered. So, MarketDelivered are an amazing wee outfit. Their story is dead cute: started with a stall, outgrew it, decided to deliver, decided to deliver from several markets. I mean, who DOESN'T prefer to spend less, and spend locally, when buying groceries? The only reason I don't do my weekly shop at Leeds Kirkgate is convenience: it's too far for me, I don't drive, and I'm always busy. I can't stand the idea of online shopping from a supermarket since they end up with so much of my money its crazy. And local fruit/veg boxes or meat boxes are ALWAYS designed for couples and families -- that sucks if you're single. MarketDelivered seem to know this. I spent around £20 on my shop for a £5 fruit box (pictured), a piece of fish, a whole sea bass, milk, eggs, and assorted veg, and it was delivered right to my door from Kirkgate. The chap was lovely! He clearly cared about his business and my produce -- he asked where I'd heard about them. Would you believe it? From an NCP car park poster! Hilarious. But, I'm spreading the word. The fruit box was generous -- from Neils, I believe: so much for a fiver I can't even begin to describe what a deal that was. The fish seemed pretty fresh (tough, because Yorkshire -- we're landlocked. Whaddya gonna do?!) and the only thing I noticed was that one or two tomatoes had started to turn. Also, they were a bit stingy on the spring onions -- only five for fifty pence? Anyway, I think that's more on Neils than these guys. The rest of the deal was excellent. Basically, I can't see any reason for me to shop at the supermarket any more. There's all the fresh fruit, baked goods, veg, meat, fish, and more that you'd need and there's a pretty decent section for other household goods too -- food cupboard, drinks, pets, baby, and even a health and beauty section. Give 'em a go!

This is a large Sainsbury's store, on Heaton Park Road in North Manchester…read more It is a large supermarket, so the selection is fairly good as you would expect from a store of its size. The Cafe area was transformed recently, with Boparan Restaurant Group, and now features brands such as Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Ed's Easy Diner and Carluccio's, offering a reduced menu to what you'd find in their usual restaurants, a cool idea in principle but the limited menu offering leaves pretty much nothing for those with allergies. The store is in the middle of having receipt gates, similar to what you may find in The Netherlands, at the entrances and exits, where you must scan a receipt to leave the store, they are currently advertising this to be in place, but it is not required yet, which would cause a great deal of confusion. I'm against the idea of receipt gates anyway. Besides the receipt gates, the store appeared to be clean and easy to follow, with a good selection of clothing and grocery products. The staff in the store seemed friendly, I visited later on in the day, and the staff still seemed helpful and in good spirits. Prices seem in line with what you'd expect to pay at Sainsbury's, there are some good deals to be found, but many items you'd be better off purchasing elsewhere. 4* - A useful location, with many good points, and the fact the store is open until 23:00 during the week is also handy.

This supermarket was completely rebuilt 2/3 years ago so everything is still fresh and new. There is a nice cafe upstairs with views outside. There's also some random things you don't always get at a supermarket such as key cutting, shoe repairs, foreign exchange, a dentist and a pharmacy. They recently reduced the size of the clothing department a little in order to add a small Netto supermarket next door. This is the best of both worlds now as without moving your car you can pop into Netto for a few bits then into Sainsburys for the rest.

The car park is free for customers. However, after making payment at counter, the customers' needs to make entry of car registration number on t the display screen next to exit door. Regrettably, it appears that during this process, there might have been an error on my part--I may have inadvertently entered an old car registration number or, worse yet, forgotten to input the details entirely. Upon receiving a notice of car parking charges from the rental company, I promptly lodged an appeal, attaching proof of my shopping receipt from ASM as evidence of my visit. Despite providing this concrete evidence, which unequivocally verifies my presence at your store during the specified time, my appeal was callously overruled. This unjust dismissal of my appeal, despite furnishing proof of purchase, suggests a blatant disregard for customer goodwill and fairness.

All the usual favourites are there, the dhals, rices, spices and speciality fruit & veg and fresh herbs. So if you are in Ashton experiencing hunger pangs for okra or yam or a big bunch of coriander leaf or fenugreek or a box of honey mangoes - ASM Cash & Carry are your people! On this visit, I discovered some different poppadum makes and varieties - including one incorporating fenugreek leaf which I can't wait to try! A plus for me is that this place appears to be totally vegetarian, and that would make sense as the adjacent Indian café-restaurant is called Lily's Vegetarian - I think Lily's is owned by the same people. The staff are really sweet, and the atmosphere is understandably a bit less hurried than Rusholme equivalents. I will definitely visit ASM when I'm in the area, and any Ashton foodie worth their salt should be a regular visitor!

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.

In terms of the cheaper end of the supermarket line, I think Aldi is the best. Lidl was ok when I…read morelived almost next door to one,but I never find myself wanting to go now that i'm a few miles away from it. I used to like our branch of Netto (Now gone the way of Nu-Metal and dial up internet) because it was round the corner,and thus pretty handy. If we are not doing the preverbial 'big' shop then we will always pop along to this branch of Aldi to get the few bits and pieces that we need,milk,sugar,eggs,human organs,that type of thing. My main reason for going though is the Clarke's Bourbon that they sell. Out of all of the non main brands of this beverage that you can buy,Clarke's is by far the best,and at £11.49 it's quite a few quid cheaper than the top brands. Handy if you are an alcoholic on a budget! I probably could do the majority of our shopping at Aldi,but I have a feeling that Mrs Z has been surgically implanted into that place where every little helps. Disclaimer-I have been reliably informed that we get our human organs from Dr Bloodbath,and not Aldi as I first thought. I think they sell Lambs liver though.
