    I love ALDI. I would be more of a regular here if I drive, but unfortunately it's not within…read morewalking distance to justify more frequent trips. However, whenever I make a visit I always end up leaving with a smile on my face. I'm a massively frugal person who doesn't like spending extra money on the same product, so when I walk out of ALDI with a week's worth of groceries for roundabout £10, I'm one happy camper. Atmosphere: The only major downside. The layout of ALDI is always a bit cramped, squeezed, and generally not the most pleasant of shopping experiences. Rather than the typical supermarket layouts of wide aisles and plenty of room to maneuver, you might find yourself twisting and turning your body to avoid the loads of other shoppers. Products: Another great thing about ALDI is that they always have a bunch of random international goodies hard to find in other supermarkets. Aside from that, even if you're fond of the familiar, they provide that as well. Meat prices are dirt cheap (a packet of chicken thighs went for a whole £4 cheaper than what I normally pay for at Morrison's!) with good quality cuts as well. Like I said, I always walk out with a massive haul and I've always spent pennies for it. The only bone I have to pick with ALDI is that unfortunately they haven't gotten on that online shopping / delivery bandwagon, which is disappointing because since this place is a bit far away from me. I would love to be a regular!

    You have two choices in this immediate area for quick market essential needs: Sainsbury's Local or…read moreTesco Express located just nearly across the street. Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of the latter option, and here's why: 1. Because it's so high trafficked, this store is pretty dirty 2. The shelves always seem like they need to be stocked 3. It's a bizarre layout because it's such a small space 4. The queue here - as others have mentioned - is frustrating and confusing; who's actually in line?! It's hard to tell when it snakes down into the aisles Really, you'll find similar things at both places, so it's really just a matter of preference!

It's not exactly the first place you'd look for a Primark, a Lidl or a Wilkinsons (sadly, as I absolutely love a good Primark). But what should the less wealthy of us need a supermarket which isn't as elusive as Marks and Spencer and not as pricey as Waitrose? Sainsbury's local on Marmouth Street is a tiny supermarket which is an ideal one-stop shop for your basic essentials. The range of items on sale here is pretty limited, but when you're looking for reasonably priced goods like tea, coffee, bread and milk - this is the first place I head. And, because it's a Sainsbury's LOCAL the service is quick so there's no frustrating queues in sight.

I live closer to the Morrisons superstore in the same town shopping centre and because I don't have a car, my visits to Asda is occasional. However, recently I've visited again to make a big shop and it's definitely not as good as it once was. ~ Atmosphere: From what I remember, this Asda has gotten really hectic and to be honest hasn't been very good with keeping the place clean. I've seen loads of fallen items on the floor (kitchen rolls, clothes, etc). Maybe this place is now understaffed? Every time I make a visit, a good 50% of a lot of the veggie section are out of stock as well. ~ Prices: The value you get from Asda has really gone down. They used to be the best for meat shopping with constant deals on they had the most competitive prices around. Now, the deals are rare (and highly limited to certain items). I'd never thought I'd see the day when Morrisons is actually cheaper than Asda now. --- There are still some great things about this shop. It has a great selection of clothing and plenty of home essentials (what many grocery stores lack) not to mention it is open 24 hours. If Asda is a more convenient option for you, it definitely does the trick. However, it isn't the haven for glorious deals as it once was.

    Reviewing Sainsbury's does seem a little silly when this is the only big one in Cardiff but I feel…read moreI need to draw special attention to its card section. I'm usually disappointed by the cards in supermarkets, although it's usually the place I am when I remember that I need to get one and it's too late to go anywhere else. This is the situation I found myself in today, and readied myself to buy a boring card that's the same as you see everywhere else and will probably be the same as another card on the mantelpiece of my friend whose birthday it was. In my previous visits to Sainsbury's (and I do go there a few times a week) I had noticed the card section at the front of the store and assumed that it was pretty small, but I was surprised to find that there was rather a large selection to choose from. And they weren't all just your standard Hallmark cards either; they had lines that I'd never seen anywhere else and were really lovely. As well as the birthday card I needed, I found loads of blank cards with gorgeous pictures that I bought just because I liked them, and I ended up spending around £8 in total, which I think is rather a lot to spend on cards. This was not because they were expensive either, with most standard size cards costing around £1.50. So next time you need to buy someone a card, do not underestimate Sainsbury's! (Oh, and on a slightly different subject, this Sainsbury's petrol station is also the only place I know of where you can pump your tyres up for free. Thank-you, Sainsbury's)

This Sainsburys supermarket is big, but is by no means as intimidating as Tesco Extra can be (if you go with friends you can very easily loose them in Tesco's). They have a great selection of food at all prices available, and I particularly like Indian and Chinese ready meal selection. They also have a fresh fish and meat, delicatessen, and bakery counters, all manned by really lovely staff. Finally I'd also recommend checking out their DVD selection as prices are rather cheap, I managed to buy New Moon the week it came for only £7.99 (so I can now swoon at Robert Pattison to my hearts content).
