If you're limited to only shopping in the centre, then this place is your best bet. They may not have my preferred brand, but they usually have at least a version of the sauce I'm looking for. Your other choices are GG Oriental Snack Shack in Gloucester Green or to venture out onto Cowley Road. My only warning is, if it's not priced, ASK before you buy. I didn't realize until I got home that the one small jar I didn't see labeled with a price and that the till lady couldn't scan, she manually entered 9£ for it!

It is very small, and every space, including the window sill, is covered in merchandise. Chances are, you can do a good portion of your grocery or snack shopping here at East West.

The Nine to Nine is closer to me, but I will pop over to this corner shop sometimes for their nice…read moreselection. Very clean and pleasant interior, and they excel at dessert and beverage options. There are also some decent freezer/ready meals, so it really is a convenience store that is very helpful when I'm feeling too lazy to manage.

So tiny but I will 9/10 times choose shopping here over Tesco. They have a shocking variety of…read moreitems considering that there are only 2 aisles and great prices. Even a good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables! I also enjoy poking through the shelves to see what I can find. Best of all it's just a 10 minute walk from LMH. Highly recommended for daily needs and small shopping trips. Updating with one small caveat: I cannot get milk from here to hold more than 2-3 days after purchase; I suspect it's their small fridge and slow turnover rate. So unless for immediate usage I do recommend getting milk (and probably meat) elsewhere.

This handy little shop is bursting with everything you could need for your daily food needs…read more There's fresh fruit in wooden boxes outside and greetings cards, whilst inside are all the basics in terms of snacks, basic cooking ingredients and some more unusual food items, as well as basic stationery. It's cluttered, but surprisingly easy to find things, and it's a great place for bumping into people you know. Prices are reasonable and it feels great to support a local shop rather than trekking to the electronic, advert-filled world of Oxford supermarkets.

The cheap wine doesn't taste fab, but there's a good range. This particular store is a lot nicer than many of them, but they're also quite strict on ID, especially with the high number of students buying there. If you don't look 30, be prepared to be ID-d!

Be careful to check the opening times - I always seem to go at the wrong time. It's more convenient than going to the main post office, though, and does most of the same things: most importantly, you can post things and get certain foreign currencies (eg: Euros) pretty easily. Aside from postal facilities, it stocks a good range of magazines, especially some more unusual, academic ones. It's the sort of shop you pop into when you know exactly what you want and you're in a hurry. Excellent.
