The store is always full of stock and always has great offers on. The staff in store are usually friendly but I do find very quick at scanning the food and making people rush.

I find Lidl products hit or miss, some things I have tried there are really nice and a great find…read morefor the price, others I wouldn't feed to my cat. I think discount supermarkets such as these are meant as more of a try and see if you like it more than a weekly shopping trip. There are 5 or 6 things I regularly buy in Lidl but for my main shopping I stick to british supermarkets. They do some great deals such as half price fruit and vegetables, and its always worth picking up a flyer to see what is going to be on offer next week. Lidl do have an annoying habit of suddenly discontinuing certain stock and there isn't an alternative place to find it.

As a cardiff resident, I'm used to the ginormous Tesco Extra on Western Avenue. This store is…read moreprobably on the smallish side, but they do generally have all the products, you'd expect from any good supermarket, plus in my experience the staff are very helpful. It's location is unusual for a supermarket in the sense that it's very close to the main shopping centre. Also it's proximity to the central bus station makes it ideal for those without cars (generally students). If you do have a car, be warned, it's very hard to find parking, and you have to queue to get in and out of the car park (absolute nightmare at around 4pm)!

When I think of Tesco, I normally think of a massive supermarket with groceries galore…read more TIPS: ~ Ever go to a supermarket with not much of a clear picture of what you want, you just want to browse? Well, you can't really do that with this particular branch of Tesco. It's a very small supermarket and they can cover basic needs such as eggs and bread, but there isn't much room to pick and choose. Atmosphere: I usually don't mind smaller grocers, but the main problem with this place is that it is actually quite dirty and unkempt - not really what I would expect from a massive brand. I'd be more forgiving if this was a small independent supermarket, but that isn't the case. I mean, if you live closeby and you cannot be bothered traveling further to do your shopping, by all means go ahead. However, when it comes to variety and cleanliness, I would definitely make another grocer your favourite.

You will find a good range of food especially in the £1 range , it is all good quality and tastes good. During busy periods there can be long queues especially if only onetill is open. I recommend that you take a look in iceland you will be surprised at what you can get for really cheap prices. There is no parking outside Iceland so you will need to use the St Davids carpark which is not far away.

I rarely manage to get to iceland to do my food shopping as the city centre is a bit out of the way…read morefor me but when I do, I try to make the most of it and buy enough to fill my freezer. I find iceland own branded foods just as good as other brands and quite a bit cheaper. Most ready meals are £1 and are perfect to take to work for lunch. There is a good amount of choice and is rarely very busy even on saturdays. Compared to many other supermarkets, you can get a lot of food for not much money which is a very good thing these days.

This is an absolutely brilliant Tesco. It seems to stock absolutely everything! It has a great…read moreclothes section upstairs (great prices which are made even better with the regular sales they have), an electrical section (TVs, computers, mobiles etc.), home wares (plates, kitchen appliances, paint etc.) and loads of toys. They've also got a great card section, and an aisle which seems to be dedicated to seasonal specials. You can't help but pick up a few things that you didn't think you needed before you went in. There's also a pharmacy, photoshop and cafe in store. It's a big store, but once you know your way around, your weekly shop is easy. You soon get used to the extra choice, which you miss when you revert to a smaller store. The only down side is the parking. Tesco has drawn other retailers to the site, and at busy periods (like the run up to Christmas) it's impossible to park there. Thank goodness Tesco is open 24 hrs!

I do find some of the staff to be very helpful and friendly, and some staff to just not be too interested. The customer service isnt the best in this store, Especially when the nappy offer was on.
