This is a little shop that AllyG has been talking about visiting for years. Finally on Saturday we…read moregot the chance to pop in. What a treat for us. The shop can only be describes as a treasure trove for all things Whisky, Cigar and tobacco. Not being smokers I can't really talk too much about the smoking products but there seemed to be an extensive collection and they have a humidor located at the back of the shop. The whisky selection was absolutely brilliant, with lots of bottles I had never seen before. I could have stood and looked at the range for hours but my attention was immediately pulled to their small selection of gins and wines. Deciding to treat myself to a little bottle I started looking at the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. After picking up a tasty looking little number a member of staff saw me looking at it and said it was the only wine Victoria Beckham drank and it was very difficult to find in Glasgow - SOLD! Who cares if it's true of not I still feel now that VickyB and I are now destined to be BFFs. As you would expect in this type of shop the staff are incredibly knowledgable and helpful. A great little shop selling brilliantly interesting things - I will definitely be back soon to stock up again.

Great place to get Cuban cigars. Staff was very informative and help us choose the right cigarread more

But when it comes to booze, I could go on all day. In a city where cocktails are questionable and scotch is king, Good Spirits Co is a gasp of fresh air to a drowning man. Not unlike Gerry's in Leeds/Soho or Astor Wines in NYC, this shop offers enough variety and substance to satisfy most any liquor lover. Beyond a product selection that could leave me browsing the shelves for hours, the staff is knowledgeable (and trying to become even more so!), welcoming, and the space is noteworthy in its own right. Ask about the cashier's counter sometime - it's a piece to be pondered and appreciated. I'm excited about the forthcoming tasting room to come, and hope that local Glaswegians come to admire and adore this liquid gold outlet for the treasure it already is.

I've even began to deliberately go out of my way - a little bit anyway - sometimes in order to pop in here. Why, you ask. Well, anytime I've been in the staff have been friendly, chatty and very nice. Which makes you feel a bit better about parting with your pennies. The pennies have got to be the big number two of list of good points about S & A Food Stores. Despite, being in a prime location for desperate people stopping in to buy booze, ciggies and munchies; they do not overprice their stock. In fact, I've actually got some of the best booze deals ever in this shop - two one-litre bottles of Merry Dowe quality cider for a mere £4.50. That's them just screaming out to be bought! Plus, if you're coming from getting a tasty pepperoni pizza from Da Vinci's you'll need something to wash it down with. Mmmmm. Their nonalcoholic stock is also decently priced and of good quality. You'll get loads of crisps, the latest chocolate releases (Malteaser bunny anyone?) and all the popular magazines and newspapers. Good little shop with nice staff, good stock and an excellent location.

For me, S & A Food Store definitely has the convenience factor, I usually pop in for a packet of…read morecrisps, some sweets or a magazine. The staff here are also really friendly, and as Laura points out, I too, have noticed that they don't charge you for the convenience factor and the prices are just the same as any other newsagents.

They often have deals on with bottled bears and Bazardi Breezers and they are often an absolute bargain. I came here last summer as I was making a family meal and I had forgotten to buy tomatoes which were a pretty important ingredient. I nipped along the Tesco Express just a few doors along but they had sold out. Oh dear. Not really sure what to do I decided to give this little store a try. As soon as I popped in the door I was greeted by a box of red, ripe, juicy tomatoes, phew! I bought around 4 and they came to about 80p, what a bargain! The woman working that day was really helpful and chatted to me as she was bagging my tomatoes so I decided to share my tomato based disaster with her. Thank goodness Value Convenient Store saved the day!
