In Germany, I have never really been a fan of Lidl - but in Aberystwyth (and for Machynlleth) it…read morehas helped me to survive on food really. Food prices in the UK are just too high, and I miss a quality of eating culture very, very much. I could not live like this forever. Every month once I shop here now: for the basics!!!!!! First, I get the sparkling mineral water in the bottles, lots of juices, toilet paper, pasta sauces. The beer they sell is good, too - but here the price is a lot because of high UK tax. When Lidl came to Britain my English and Welsh friends did not like it at all - but now that they see one can actually save some money - and some of the products are good or on the same level with other shops (but cheaper) they like it!!!!!

However, a 24 hour convenience store in a town with a population of 8,000, half of them students? It'd be a struggle for it NOT to be popular. The discerning student should save his or her money and buy food somewhere better - may I recommend Spartacus for a sandwich, or even Wetherspoon. The products are overpriced and often out of date, the staff in my experience usually rude, and the queues horrendous. I haven't even mentioned the Onion Bhaji I bought once, which was the size and toughness of an unexploded World War 1 bomb. Never again! The potato wedges are alright, though. Go there if everywhere else is closed and you're desperate for a pot noodle.

To say the layout wasn't very well thought out is a bit of an understatement. Unfortunately the store also has a thriving home delivery service which has expanded into the carpark. Shoppers use the free parking spaces at Tesco to visit the newly built Eagles Meadow Shopping Mall which is opposite the store making parking in what was already a small carpark almost impossible on a saturday. At peak times you'll be queuing to get in and queing to get out.

I'm not so sure that the person below is actually from the area, or has even been to the store in…read morequestion, as a couple of their observations are flawed - "Morrisions is on the slight outskirts of the main town center on a busy roundabout. This means that the place where it is situated is quite a bad place to walk to as it is on a very busy roundabout and would take quite a lot of nerve to do so." Yes, it is on a busy roundabout, arguably the biggest in Haverfordwest. And yes I agree that it takes a lot of nerve to walk across the remarkably busy road to get there and is quite dangerous. Therefore I recommend taking the "subway" which is a little, well-lit walkway located in the furthest corner of the carpark (opposite corner to the other stores located on the site, Halfords and Currys) which runs underneath the roundabout and main road, and leads you quite safely to and from the town center, no car-dodging required. "The shop is open twenty four hours a day and seems to be fully stocked most of the time." No, it's not. It closes at either 8pm or 9pm Monday to Saturday (not 10pm on Saturday, like Tesco's) depending on the day. I'm not chasing opening times for you round the internet, dear reader, you can do that yourself :p The opening hours are true as of this date from 2 very reliable sources: My brother who works there, and my Mother who goes down there pretty much every night without fail at either 7.30pm or 8.30pm to buy obscene amounts of 9 pence reduced end of day chicken :P Apart from that, everything else rings true :p

After a short wait a parking space became available and in I went. To be fair they have pretty much anything you can get in a larger store and I managed to get everything I needed. After another queue at the tills, not enough but no space for more, I made my way out of the car park which had if anything got even busier.

There is a large car park and I have never struggled to park here. The shop is often busy and it can be difficult to get around amongst all the other shoppers. There are not very many check outs which results in some long queues. The staff at the tills are generally quite friendly and there are usually quite a lot of staff on the shop floor, though they are more likely to be talking to friends than helping customers. The prices are quite low compared with other local supermarkets, but this is reflected in the quality of the goods. There are a lot of non food goods, and recently a George clothing department has been opened.

I have lived in a rural community before in the past and I think that both local stores and supermarkets can compliment each other. The shops that I find locally (Spar and Co-op) are not that attractive so we already shop at a Tesco in Porthmadog or in Cardiff - or go to Aberystwyth especially for our food shopping. Spar and Co-op are chains, too and the choice of food is bad. I really like the independent shops in Machynlleth but I will always go there if there is a Tesco's or not. Many of the good independent shops do not sell food. They are the Spectrum Art Gallery and Ian Snow. More people would visit those even if there was a Tesco. A good thing. Some of the traditional people never want to change things and are afraid. Unfortunately they contribute to negative effects.
