Southall Market began in the 1600s as a cattle market and over time, has evolved into a place to…read morebuy cheap bananas and cheap-ass clothes and materials. Since this is now one of London's most Indian/SE Asian nabes, I thought it might be a bit more funky in content and possibly have some nice grub as well. Unfortunately, it's pretty much run-of-the mill discount veggies, low end clothes, assorted sundries and a caravan selling tean and cakes. I wouldn't bother traveling there and likely wouldn't visit if I lived next door... not a single this was unique. But if you want 5lbs of carrots for a quid, I guess it would work.

Right before I walked in, I had the privilege of tasting their strawberry protein shake which was very appealing to the taste buds! The store is nicely lit up and organised selling health and nutrition items for men and women with a sales person available to talk you through what each product does and how it could be (or not so) beneficial to you. After almost 25 minutes of looking around the dainty store, I couldn't resist trying their peanut butter. I've had the big container for months now and I can't wait to go back for more! It is quite pricey for "just peanut butter" but good health equals good wealth. Their products are on the high side interns if pricing but they are worth it at the end of the day. Oh, did I mention that I got a cool and flashy water bottle? Whoops ! ...Fitness freak problems

It has been six months since my last venture to ASDA. What has happened? This used to be my go to…read moreplace for cheap, quality food. All I saw this time was 2 for £2 deals. Now this may sound great, but I'm not sure. When you see a small bag of oranges for £1.80 or 2 for £2, and then this trend of really expensive for one or 2 for £2 - 3 for £5 etc etc... it forces you to buy more than you want. I confess I've spent the last six months shopping around, finding deals, spending more times in markets looking for healthier organic goods, the stuff superstores just cannot contend with. I am growing an aversion to processed packaged foods. Look in any superstore and a huge percentage of their discounted goods are processed naffness. So maybe it isn't ASDA that has changed, maybe it's me. To be fair ADSA is still great for doing your weekly shop, maybe the best, but their prices definitely seem to be higher than last time I was there. For the discerning shopper, those of us that care what we put in our bodies, stick to the farmers market.

Before the suspense mounts to a terrifying frenzy I must tell you all about the magnificence that…read moreis Asda. To all Americans, please reserve your judgement, I do realize this place is part of the Walmart family. In the midst of the recession and with forever tightening purse strings, this store is a mecca of bargain basement prices and superb selection. Where else can you the vast array of products in a one-stop shop. The Wembley store has clothing, a late night pharmacy, all the basic housewares, electronics and of course, food. While I still prefer to buy vegetables and fruit from street side markets, buying spuds and carrots in bulk is best done at Asda. I particularly love the dry goods section where a 3kg bag of pasta rings in at £3.49 and every type of rice or cous cous is at your fingertips. The bakery includes West Indian hard-dough bread, a big favourite in my house and the staff is unbelievably attentive. When the vest tops I was looking for were out of stock, a sales assistant offered to call me when they arrived in. Seriously, when is the last time you were offered a personal service anywhere other than Harrods. If you are within a 1 hour travelling distance from an Asda, I would suggest the once-a-month stop in. Restock your pantry with the basics and leave the fancy stuff to organic shops and your community butcher.
