This is a large Morrisons store, located on Hagley Road in Edgbaston Village, a short ride on the…read moreWest Midlands Metro tram from Birmingham city centre. The store seems much more modern than I'm used to from Morrisons. The store is visually pleasant. As you enter the store, you'll be greeted by their Market Kitchen area where food counters are available offering a rotational daily selection of hot dishes, pizza and a couple of other options alongside the regular Morrisons Cafe offering. The facilities inside the store are good and also include Amazon Lockers. The selection in terms of groceries was reasonable. Prices were competitive but did seem fairly expensive for some items including Cravendale Milk, even out pricing some convenience stores in Birmingham city centre. The staff seemed friendly enough; there was a lack of them on the shop floor however to assist customers. 4* - An impressive Morrisons with an overall store look/feel that I hope they roll out across more of their supermarkets nationwide.

Ah, Waitrose. Land of the daily free tea and coffee, home of frozen game and Duchy products…read more The Harborne Waitrose is smallish, as they often are, but it still has pretty much everything you'd need to do a full shop- if you don't mind it being a bit more expensive. They started price- matching brand products a while back though, and the Waitrose Essentials stuff is pretty good- and top quality. I digress. This Waitrose has two tea and coffee machines, near the entrance, so I frequently pop in for my free beverage. It also has a pretty decent cheese counter, deli, butcher and fish counter. It also does rotisserie chickens, which are soooo good. I really rate the wine selection too- with a good sized section of both everyday and special occasion wines (the occasion could just be that you bought some nice wine, of course). Generally it's a great place to shop. Staff are super friendly, polite and helpful. If you're clumsy like me, they won't charge you for breakages either... It's also not so big that you get lost, and I like to think about how I'll buy all those fancy biscuits when I'm rich.

I do love waitrose, there food is very good.. it runs close competition with marks & spencers but i…read moredo think M&S is slightly better. However waitrose is slightly cheaper. I do have to say the quality of waitrose food is very very very good!!!!! This store has very friendly staff who are willing to help and sow you to where a product is kept. The store is well organised and stocked, i guess there isnt much to criticise really in regards to the store. The car park outside isn't huge and fills up very quickly especially on weekends. But its free for 1.5 hours which is a good bonus. This store also has scanners so you can scan your shopping as you go around the store and hand in your scanner at the checkout for easier payment. Overall it has very fresh food, meat, veg and fruit. very efficient, its clean and the store is just the right size, not too big and not too small.

NEVER EVER GOING THERE AGAIN. AVOID THESE FAKESTERS. MEDINA SUPERSTORE, MAS BAZAR and even BANGLa STATION with its high prices is better than Paks supermarket lozells road, atleast in Bangl station you gonna get fresh produce at the weight it's supposed to be at even if they charge extra but at PaKsSupermarket Lozells not only they charge you but the hive you produce which is gone bad and even from there they will steal a few pieces out. STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY. BTW have you guys seen the TikTok videos by PaKs lozells road, all comments are turned off. we wonder why. must be a reason. what have you got to hide. you don't want the word getting around that you guys are leeching off the local community. you disgraceful people.

As you may have seen from previous reviews, I am a bit of a bargain hunter. I like to eat well (by…read morehaving a very mixed diet) and save as much money as possible on the boring stuff (like the food shop). This makes me a really big fan of Aldi. I remember the stigma that was attached to discount supermarkets when I was younger and the shame of having "non branded" crisps in your lunchbox at school, well, I certainly feel that a lot has changed and these stores are now a viable option to get great quality, cheaper food (and drink) options. This branch is actually my favourite. I know, it's weird having a favourite branch of Aldi, but when we can't get to market on a weekend we have a plethora of Aldi's and Lidl's around us to choose from. This one (just by Cannon Hill park) is always tidy, clean and tends to have the items we need in stock (rather than other branches which seem to run out of things). I always find it really funny to see how many Mercedes, Jag's and high end cars are parked in the car park of this branch. Clearly the discount supermarket is no longer a taboo! As well as the usual choice of fruit, veg and meat you will find lots of speciality items here. With everything from award winning wines and champagnes to a great selection of baking paraphernalia and season items in stock, if you're anything like me you'll usually spend more than you bargained for! Again, this is my favourite branch of Aldi in Birmingham. If you are looking for a way to cut down the cost of the weekly shop or just get a picnic in before visiting Cannon Hill, you could do much worse than popping in and seeing what these guys have in stock.

Oh Aldi, you always make me spend more money than I intend to. Why must you insist on having such…read moredelectable goodies poking their noses over the edges of the shelves which somehow always find their way into my trolley? But in all seriousness Aldi really has managed to shake off the stigma it once had by continuing to stock good quality items at slightly lower prices than the big supermarkets. Especially with the 'super 6' offers and weekly offers on meat that often beat the big supermarkets measly 20p off by a country mile. Aldi is great for the vast majority of things but it's quite rare that we can do an entire weekly shop there, unfortunately some items we can only get at our local supermarket that shall remain nameless. That being said their selection of beers is great (and lets face it, it's what we're all here for!), with several ales, weissbier, pilsner and a few other bits and pieces as well all coming in at £1.25 or less per bottle - bargain! Just make sure you take some carrier bags to reuse, they will charge you!

If yes, then Bearwood Cash and Carry on the end of the main Bearwood Road is the place for you. Actually, novelty items aside this is a pretty useful shop especially for cheap kitchenware. I came away with a couple of wooden spoons, a pack of notepads and a few toiletries - all for under a tenner.

And make sure you do carry cash with you when shopping here, as the minimum card spend is a tenner…read more Amongst the various items I've walked away from here clutching (I had paid for them, just to clarify) are a hot water bottle in a leopard-print cover, a fire-lighter, some kitchen utensils and some blank CDs. If you looked around hard enough, you could probably find a cuddly toy hidden away somewhere - it's that kind of shop. It's cheap but not Poundland and the quality of a fair few of the goods is approximately the same. They do however sell more expensive household items that you wouldn't find (or want to buy from) in a pound shop. AND they sell cassettes (or at least they did recently) which is great if you, erm well, need cassettes for your retro home mix-taping. Important tip for cash and carry first-timers: There's one door to walk in and a different door for walking out. I still get them mixed up, so beware!

A handy lil version of sainsbury's, located smack bang in the centre of the city…read more It's often really difficult to find something quick to grab at lunch time in Brum but this place does loads of sarnies, cakes and pots of fruit which you can easily take back to the office. It's deceptively large with a good selection of food to combine lunch with shopping for dinner. It also sells ciggarettes and magazines near to the front entrance so you can 'in theory' nip in and out. The location means that it is often quite busy though.

There are a few aisles of bathroom and household goods such as deodorants, polishes, sanitary towels, and everyday items such as soap, toothpaste, shower gels and shampoos. They do not stock frozen produce, but they do have a few fridges stocked with ice creams and cold alcoholic beverages. They have a lot of accessories and jewellery instore, as well as a large magazine selection. It is always busy at lunchtime because of many business people queuing up for their lunch but the staff are very good even though there are only three tills.

This supermarket is one of my favourite independent places to shop, based in the heart of Soho…read moreRoad. I try and shop here every 2 - 3 weeks, and the discounted prices on shopping to be had in here, are gob-smackingly good! The ideal place to get all your authentic ingredients for that all special curry and what not. I buy all of my asain, Indian ingredients in here and more. The small packets of spices are convenient and the cheapest that you can get! Everything from the Basmati Tilda rice, flour, nuts, great juices, tea, snacks, lentils, oils, juices, cereals, shop here first. You'll be hooked, with famous brands it's a shame they don't offer some kind of reward scheme! My tip, try the bags of 'Paneer' in the fridge section, on your right when you walk in (past the big bags of onions....) at £3.99. Fry into a tomato curry, just delightful and beats takeaway food. I find I always fill my trolley shopping in here. The prices ARE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN GET! They close early on Wednesdays and only the far till on your right accepts debit cards. They even have free asian newspapers for you to take away, if you can read them. What makes this place extra special is staff at the door will look after your shopping bags and give you a numbered ticket whilst you shop and browse! 1 Hour free car parking is available for shoppers, there after, it's £1 per hour. Enjoy. A great gem and a much valued and appreciated store for all communities.

Only if I am in Handsworth and am desperate to buy Indian ingredients. There are closer green grocer stores that have Indian spices and plus there are high retail stores that sell Indian ingredients needed for making curries. But the prices at S&D Supermarket are excellent and they won't be beaten anywhere else. From tea to Indian snacks and savouries to cereals, these are some of the things you can buy from this supermarket. This is an excellent store for the locals and those living in Birmingham. To top it all off, the staff are top class here and they will help you out. If you do need guidance on any of the products at this supermarket, they will be there. There is car parking on-site and parking will be free for an hour. After that you will be charged £1 for every hour.

Sainsbury's at Martineau Square is probably the largest supermarket style store in Birmingham city…read morecentre, at least in the Sainsbury's brand anyway but it is far from the best. The store was really understaffed when I came in, it felt like they were ready to shut in the middle of the day with no manned tills or counters, the store was even really dark to get around (perhaps a power outage in part of the store), yet there was no staff members apologising or offering assistance. Other reviews suggest it isn't even a lighting issue and it has been going on for weeks and months, which surely makes no sense: as someone who visits Sainsbury's stores across England and Wales, I've not seen anything like it. I couldn't get any of the items I came in for which strangely were on sale in a smaller Sainsbury's store on Colmore Row, it is a large supermarket but I just wasn't impressed with the selection. The ramped enterance into the store remains dangerous and is an accident waiting to happen as it involves a sharp and narrow corner blocked by a wall, I really don't know how health and safety approved it as it is too narrow to have two lanes and all it takes is to people coming up at the same time (and then unable to go back) and BANG. The store really does need to review their staffing levels, ramped enterance and lighting as a matter of urgency.

For £2.95 you can have yourself a medium salad bowl packed full of bean, beetroot, red pepper, chickpea and other salads which I have to say tastes great! Big shouts to the pea and mint salad which gives the whole bowl freshness and a whole load of extra flavour....I strongly recommend going in on that scoop for a lunchtime win! I know you are thinking.....supermarket salad bowl.....it's going to be rubbish.....but this one shames other supermarkets. I need to say that compared to Morrisons dried out salads this is on another level. If you want a cheap lunch on the move and want to be healthy in a savage world of burger temptation.....give this a go.
