This is a huge Sainsbury's that has only recently completed its refit. Straight off the Felixstowe…read moreRoad, it is easy to find. Be warned, however, that the store is now much too big for its car park. You will struggle for a place at peak times - often having to resort to parking in the Homebase car park that adjoins it. Once inside, it's a great store with large aisles and an airy feel. It has a vast array of non-consumable goods at very good prices (including clothing and electricals). The only real letdown here is the cafe unbelievably slow on and off peak, understaffed or undertrained. It's not a nice place to sit - nor is it a pleasant experience. Apart from that it's a great store with good customer service.

Located just off the main pedestrianised shopping area in town but well located alongside…read moreWilkinsons. Good range of products stocked and it is really useful for popping in to get lunch or shopping that you may have forgotten. Loads of baskets and trolleys available. Quite a lot of tills but you still do sometimes have to queue for a few minutes. Prices are reasonable. Staff are helpful. Parking available outside for those with a blue badge. Alternatively parking is in the pay and display car parks or if you can find a space down Lower Brook Street.

The Co-op supermarket is located in the High Street of Walton on the Naze, just before you reach…read morethe seaside promenade. It is a relatively small supermarket with very narrow aisles which can get quite congested during the holiday season. It has long opening hours but always seems busy even in the evening. Often all 3 tills are in use. I would say however that the range of food is very good. Fair trade products being a strength of the Co-op chain. I think you can buy most of what you need if you are self-catering in the area and the nearest large supermarket is quite a way away. It is more expensive than a low cost supermarket but not particularly so. I would recommend this shop if self catering in the area. Its a cheaper option than eating out.

Asda is one of the major supermarkets in Colchester, mainly competing with Tesco in Highwoods and…read morethe Hythe. As mentioned by previous reviewers, a fun feature of the store is the travelators, which allow you take a trolley up to the clothing department. Even I, as mature as I clearly am, cannot resist the urge to walk the wrong way down these flat walkways, pretending to be Michael Jackson (before he went weird, of course!). The store itself offers most of the usual features, such as food, a bakery, fishmongers and entertainment. In all, a decent store with cheap prices on everyday goods.

Tesco Hythe is the smaller of the two stores in Colchester, and is by no means the best. The usual…read moreTesco set up is present, with cheap food and a huge variety of goods. The main disadvantage with the Hythe store is its proximity to the University of Essex. At weekends, the supermarket is overrun by students stocking up on cheap booze and crisps, meaning the store is extremely busy and a nightmare to shop in. Also, Tesco Hythe does not have quite the same range of non-food goods as its bigger brother up the road. In all, good but not perfect.

Tesco based near the waterfront in Ipswich…read more Small sized shop but stocks a reasonable amount of items including meat, groceries, fresh fruit and veg, papers, magazines, wines, beers, spirits etc. Reasonable prices. Good service. They also have two tills where you can scan and pack yourself. Parking is available outside in the layby - do not park down the side roads as you run the risk of receiving a ticket or being clamped but to be fair there are plenty of signs up warning of this.

There are cash points outside. This store sells everything you would expect from Tesco's but also offers clothes, toys, luggage etc. The store is well laid out. The isles are spacious and there is plenty of room to maneuver your trolley. The food is well presented and fresh. There is also a nice deli counter, where the staff serving you are clean, polite and helpful. The shelves are regularly stocked and if you ask any of the floor staff where an item is they are happy to show/advise you. The prices are very reasonable and there are always excellent deals on there products. They have a good sized restaurant/coffee shop with a varied menu, which is reasonably priced.
