Green's Food Fare

I have *always* wanted to have a peek in Green's. Until yesterday, I thought it was some form of…read morespeciality food shop but it is, in actual fact, just an old school grocery store. And I like old-school. Very reminiscent of Stewart's (they were the days), Green's has a little line of retro tills just as you walk through the door. Beyond this are aisles upon aisles of every kind of food you'd expect to find in a grocery store. Some of the stock is slightly different to what you'd find in Tesco etc. - they had rather a lot of Scottish biscuits and shortbread for example. Nice. The highlight of my visit was the pic n mix section, and this was really old-school. More old-school than I initially realised. Having selected my sweets and lumped them all in one of the plastic bags provided, I headed towards the till and set the bag down. "Oooh, they need weighed love", said the shop assistant, and marched off towards the pic n mix section, with my sister and I hot on her heels. "Sorry, I didn't realise!", I explained, but she wasn't fazed in the slightest. She placed the bag on a set of scales (yes...remember those?! They even gave you a little sticker to put on your items), and headed back to the till. I apologised once again, saying I hadn't realised that the shop was quite so nostalgic, but she just laughed and said, "Ah, this is Green's after all!". I appreciated that. Rummaging through my purse, I produced three pound coins, ready for her to inform me of the price. "£1.64 love" came the unexpected statement. 'Sweet!' (in more ways than one) thought I...it was a heavy bag, and I was prepared to pay quite a bit more. It really was the icing on the cake, so to speak. Happy days...until *someone* ate all my pic n mix, that is. Grrrr. Just means I'll have to pop back someday...

Green's is somewhere I have always walked past in Lisburn, but not gone into, until recently…read more It is a proper wee old fashioned convenience store, something that you literally never see anymore. A thought flashed through my head for a second, wondering how in the world they would get any business, what with the huge Teso superstore in Lisburn, until I took a good look around, the place was absolutely packed. Then I took a closer look. The prices were very, very competitive. I don't know how they do it, but it's a brilliant thing, to see a shop like this nowadays, and not just some generic supermarket. It doesn't look that big from the front, but it's like a tardis inside, with lots of aisles and even a coffee shop in there! There is a huge pick and mix section (I resisted temptation with all my willpower!) and lots of brands you wouldn't often see in the supermarket, including lots of household names, all stacked neatly, with labels facing the front, with great care. I will never bypass this wee shop again!

Had a very poor experience tonight in Asda. As usual, the price marked on the shelf is not the…read moreprice when scanned so I took a photo of the shelf and when using the self checkout I showed it to the woman at the tills. She wouldn't look at my photo, instead she asked me to show her the items that were incorrect. I pointed to them (even though they were very visible in the trolley) She then asked me what aisle they were on, I said I took a photo, this was ignored and she said a price check would have to be done. Off she went, 10mins later she returned and said she wasn't adjusting the price as the reduction had expired?! I, as a customer is supposed to know this how? I told her that was ridiculous as the shelf was clearly marked as a rollback price but she was very adamant with me that she was not going to adjust the price, it had expired and she was unable to override it. Well I know for a fact this is nonsense as I purchase these products on a regular basis and they have never been marked down correctly. Strangely the staff during the day just say "Oh those still are not scanning properly, I will adjust them" This member of staff was not obliging whatsoever, she claimed management would not allow this and the best she can do is reduce one of the items, rest would be charged at the higher price! Considering they are still 50p more expensive each than in Tescos, I told her that I wasn't accepting the reduction in just one so she lifted the items from my trolley and confiscated them! Wow! Unbelievably poor customer service! The joke was her outfit said 'Happy to help' Asda take these people off your customer facing roles! Very, very off putting! Stock levels in store were shockingly bad too!

Poor level of stock on shelves. Very few staff and long lines at the checkouts. The store is untidy…read moreand we have found a range of products being sold after their sell/use by dates still on the shelves. This was once the best shopping experience in Portadown now it is unpleasant and exceptionally disappointing. Why has this happened? What is management doing?

Sainsbury's is my favourite supermarket. Its quality products are the best available and it sells a…read moregreat range of items. I'm a fan of their vegetarian foods and Sainsbury's own brand items (love Sainsbury's Nut Cutlets and veggie mince). They have the best labelling of all the supermarkets with all their own brand products clearly labelled as to whether or not they are vegetarian or BUAV approved (not tested on animals). In addition their brand match scheme ensures you don't pay more with Sainsbury's than with another supermarket. As per Sainsbury's website "When you buy ten or more different products, we'll tot up the comparable brands in your basket. If you could have paid less at Asda - even because of the deal - we'll give you a coupon for the difference off your next shop." I always use my brand match vouchers at my next Sainsbury's grocery shop. Plus their wine selection is superior to all other supermarket selections. Quality store with unbeatable prices, pleasant to browse and lovely, helpful staff. Perfect. At Christmas and New Year Sainsbury's have a special range of fabulous food you can order and collect in store, I would especially recommend the: *Three nut roast with cranberry sauce *Butternut & mushroom en croute *Limoncello buche de Noel If you want indulgent, treat foods try Sainsbury's 'Taste The Difference' range. This blows every other supermarkets 'luxury' items clean out of the water. Definitely the best you'll get, bar none.

Sainsbury's is the main supermarket in the Forestside shopping centre, so for this reason it is…read morealways packed, no matter what time of the day it is. The supermarket has all the stuff you would expect and more, and is a good place to get all your weekly shop done. They have a very large fruit and veg section, complete with salad bar if you are that way inclined, with a very large delicatessen meat and cheese counter. The store also has a large range of magazines, books, CDs, DVDs and games, and is always worth a check for a better price if you are about to buy a recently released item from HMV. As for the rest of the store there is a large range of everything as you would expect. The store has its own cafe which is good for pacifying those who have been dragged along or those who have worked up a hunger in their arduous shopping trip! The store also has installed self scanning machines, which is a real boost to customers as they can get in and for a few items much faster than in the past! I will sign off with a tip: try the white chocolate and cranberry cookies from here. You will not find a better cookie from any supermarket, pinky promise!

It was only then that I realised it was actually quite good. Fruit and veg arrives daily with nice additions like papaya, watermelons, kumquats and persimmons. The little bakery has fresh baked bread made on site along with pastries, buns, donuts, cookies and scones. All really well priced. There is a big selection of regular bagged breads, pancakes and wraps etc. Also gluten free ranges of bread, rolls and rice/corn cakes. Irish, grass fed beef is pretty good. Reasonably big range of fresh meat and already cooked. The beef pastrami is very good! The constant rotation of different county produce each month is a great addition. Things like lovely Greek yogurt, olives, spreads and very good pittas from Greece, baklava, hummus and beans from Turkey or flavoured oils, vinegars and cured meats from Spain. The have 10 pack of Belgium caramel waffles at £1.50 that taste exactly like Starbucks 2 pack that cost about 62 quid There is a forever changing middle section with homeware, kitchenware, gardening, tools, school stuff and fitness etc. The alcohol section has some super cheap beer and cider deals. Most of the spirits are cheaper brands(the ones that give killer hangovers) Some things to avoid: The herbs/spices, they are pretty wick apart from the white pepper. Baresa olives! The black ones are awful. Dentalux toothpaste. The staff are mostly friendly.

The prices here are so cheap! You can buy good chocolate for well under $1. Check out is quick as…read morewell.
