Asda! my favourite supermarket of them all, and Asda Monks Cross is HUGE!!…read more Asda is probably the cheapest of the 'big' supermarkets, I'm going to start by telling you about the clothes! To get to the clothes you have to journey up the 'travelator', my daughter thinks this is the best bit! it's like a slanting walkway that takes you up to the mezzanine floor where the clothes are. The best part of Asda clothes is the value, t shirts and jeans, jumpers etc. Wardrobe essentials at great prices, typically you can get a pair of jeans from as little as £3! The childrens clothes are fantastic, hard wearing and value for money whilst still very much on trend! Back down the travelator to the dvd's, cd's, compter games as well as mobile phones, tv's dvd players and sometimes even computers and laptops! There's always a brilliant selection of electrical items at good prices and they even have a 'budget' range! Great for students (toaster for £3 anyone)? Asda's own range of food is great, worth a try. Definitely give the Tiger bread a try .. YUMMY

This place is an absolutely MASSIVE Asda!…read more This is a really big Asda store at Monks Cross York, including a huge clothing and jewellery range upstairs and everything else under the sun downstairs, including all the usual Asda counters such as hot food, fish, freshly made pizzas, delicatessan, indian & chinese take aways, meat and bakery. Asda is usually great for offers as well and the Welcomer at the front of the store usually announces what offers they currently have over the tannoy at regular intervals. There is a massive car park, petrol station (usually the cheapest in York), car wash, Pharmacy, Opticians and cafe. Also it is surrounded by a wide range of other shops on the Monks Cross shopping park.

This is a great Waitrose. The coffee machine is good and the cafe is a really nice place for…read moremeeting friends. The shop is well stocked and laid out with fresh counted for fish, meat, cheese and cakes. They have an excellent wine section with a specialist roaming around nearby :) As a regular I have come to know the people that work there so it makes the experience all the more enjoyable. The quick pay service and the free newspaper for myWaitrose members is an added bonus. I go shopping on my motorbike so it helps that I can pack my rucksack and saddle bags as I go rather than all at the end of my shop at the checkout. Enjoy :)

Aldi is a cheap supermarket selling a range of food as well as other household items…read more It is cheap and they have good offers but I find the stores themselves very unwelcoming, weirdly quiet, and not very aesthetically pleasing. I go occasionaly but do prefer a slightly more welcoming, friendly atmosphere is shops. I am more likely to go when I see an advert on TV for a good offer they have on!

This Morrisons store is fairly new to York and is located on Foss Islands road…read more Morrisons offers what you would expect from a large supermarket chain - but it is a little different. Morrisons 'market place' is a unique set out for a supermarket and you can find fresh fruit and veg along side a fish monger and butchers where just like the advert shows you, the staff will be more than happy to talk you through whatever cut of meat you require or even fillet your fish for you. There is also a bakery and rotisserie offering yummy treats such as pork pies and sausage rolls as well as hot roast chickens. Another good point worth mentioning about Morrisons is that they do from time to time do brilliant offers. It's worth looking out for them on the internet or in your local paper.

A new Morrisons supermarket between Foss Islands Road and James street near to the centre of the…read morecity of York. It is large enough to have a full range of goods that you would expect of Morrisons and is conveniently located for York city centre. Being brand new it is also clean and specious, There is also a large car park with petrol station and car wash available. Petrol & Diesel is usually the cheapest in York as Morrison's always seem to be the first retailer to announce price changes. This store is also on the same site as a large Homebase store and Frankie & Benny's restaurant!

I was glad when they opened this Tesco as I think it's handy to have a little one in town. It sells…read morea smaller selection of the usual Tesco groceries. The only thing is they don't stock most of the cheaper ranges so it can be a bit more expensive.

This is my first experience of and Aldi store, and I must say I'm hugely impressed!…read more We visited on the stores 'grand opening' and a lovely member of staff gave my daughter a balloon! brill - it kept her entertain so I could have a good nosy round. what I noticed first that some of the produce, washing up liquid for example was extreemly cheap, 60p I think, but it was in the same shape and style bottle as fairy liquid. The only thing different was the lable and that's what's great about Aldi, you're getting top brand stuff, perhaps with a different lable at rock bottem prices! Excellent! It's well worth having a good browse round as there're lots of bargains to be found.

Cracking new Aldi store at Monks Cross in York!…read more This place opened in November 2008 and is really good, a lot bigger than the other Aldi in York and in a great lcoation adjacent to one of Yorks biggest and best out of town shopping centres, Monks Cross. There is a huge array of food, drink and other items available from TVs to laptops! The only drawback is that that car park is a bit on the small side for a shop of this size!

I went to this Sainsburys for the first time yesterday as I was in York city centre and needed some…read moregroceries. This is the only big supermarket in town that I know of (apart from M&S but they don't sell everything I wanted.) There is no big Asda/Tesco/Morrisons in town though. It's a nice big Sainsburys and they sell everything I would need, lots of frozen food, fresh fruit and veg, tins, bakery, household cleaning, etc. It was busy when I went but they have lots of tills and self scanners so there was no queueing.

Went in this Asda the other day for the first time. It used to be a Netto until a bit ago. The Asda…read moreis nice and fairly big but not as big as most of the other large Asda supermarkets. They sell a wide range of tinned, frozen, and fridge food, as well as magazines and confectionary. Staff were nice too.
