Good selection of produce and baked goods, especially for an express tesco. Appreciated how it is located near residential area.

Things they didn't have tonight included a jar of mincemeat and individual foil cases. Given the size of the store this really surprised me. I was in at around 8pm and wandered aimlessly for ages (genuinely about 10 minutes) trying to find a member of staff to ask about the above items. Eventually when I tracked someone down they had no idea where I'd get either of the things, so I gave up and went to another supermarket! Not good enough Tesco, I dread to think what it would be like nearer Christmas!

There is also a medium sized car park at the rear. It sells unknown brands for lower prices. The quality of the food and household supplies are acceptable and well within the value you pay for it. Their sweets section is one of a kind and the chocolate a must try. They also sell cat food called VitaCat that my cats like and which is a bit cheaper than the popular brand names. Household items are particularly well priced: toilet and kitchen roles, cleaners, candles..... You can also rumble you special on offer items, which are exchanged each month. During Christmas time they are much better stocked with a wider selection. For bread and meaty goods, however, I still shop somewhere else, but in any case my household bills have decreased.

The media are always mentioning how amazing Aldi is with its cheap produce and all that jazz. This Aldi is quite big for a city grocery market - well bigger than I expected. And they have a pretty big car park! I visited on a sunday afternoon and it was busy. One thing you notice is that the aisles are narrow. They have the fresh veg on the right hand side when you first enter. Then meats and fish followed by milk and cheese and then prepared foods. I came specifically for their fillet of beef - a bargain at £4.99 for 170g (it wasn't bad!). Aldi also sell things you didn't realize you needed - like an exercise mat or face cream for £2.99 (hey the magazines say it will get rid of all of your wrinkles!) Aldi have some great deals and if I lived closer I'd be a regular!

It has everything. Clothes, fridges, celeriac, bin bags, spectacles, dentist, bank, bakery, fishmongers, coffee place, toys, booze, frozen food, petrol, Gaviscon.... The list goes on, almost endlessly. And it's open 24 hours. Staff are usually really helpful and always manage to point me in the right direction for whatever weird little item I've come in for. I realise it's Tesco, but for what it does it does it incredibly well. No wonder this brand is taking over the UK, street corner by street corner.

Since it used to be a Safeway a very long time ago, it still has that 70s dated charm to it but in here it doesn't really work well and it just comes across as run down. There is a cafe at the front which just looked like a standard supermarket cafeteria but the toilets next to it were stinking. Not to mention that they are horrid and small. At least they have a family butcher, a bakery, a pizza counter and a deli along the back wall which makes up for the run down feel of the place. But the place always feels dead because everyone that shops in the Gyle is off at the other end doing their grocery shop at the epic M&S superstore and not here in the dingy Morrisons. I will only be in here if Starbucks, Costa and the M&S Café are full. If they give it a state of the art refurbishment, I will return.

Unless you have a car, then the big Tesco in New Town or the big Asda over by the Corn Exchange are a pain to get to, which means that this is where you'll head when you need a big shop. As well as all the usual food and grocery-related stuff this branch also offers a pharmacy, a household section, clothing, a bakery, a cheese counter as well as a butcher/fishmonger counter. It just so happens to be housed within the world's ugliest shopping centre, Cameron Toll. But don't let that put you off; with free parking and good bus links this is a pretty handy one as far as supermarkets go. Just avoid it at the beginning of all the uni terms, as it's packed to the rafters with students accompanied by their doting mums buying them enough food to last them until the next holidays and then some.
This is an absolutely massive Sainsbury's and is the best thing about the Cameron Toll centre by…read morequite a way. It is in a great location for students as well as it is near the Kings Buildings and therefore many people get flats in the area. Sainsbury's therefore get a good amount of younger customers. The store really does allow you to save a lot of money because if you go to the smaller branches of supermarkets such as Tesco Metro or Sainsbury's local, they tend to concentrate on stocking branded items rather than the cheaper Sainsbury's brands. I mean I really can't tell that much difference between Sainsnury's own baked beans than Heinz beans, and this shop would allow you to get these cheaper options. The shop also has a great range of clothes items and home items and would sure to be of great use at picking up some bargains for the house.

Since I first put up my review Morrisons have moved with the times and now have a much expanded free-from section, including more frozen options, etc. Their Quorn selection is still limited (no steak strips!) and frequently sold out, but it's overall a much better place for vegetarian products now.

Can't believe I'm actually reviewing a supermarket, but given that I visit here a fair amount and…read morenobody else has so far reviewed it, I thought I might as well! (Gotta love them firsts, right?) As Tescos go, this one's actually quite good! It's pretty massive, spread out over 2 floors and pretty much has everything you could ever need. I say pretty much, because the clothing/accessories etc. range isn't that great - I was looking for a beach bag for my holidays and they barely had any of the ones I'd seen online. Their clothing bit definitely seems smaller than other stores I've been in but hey, at least they have one. The only other downside is the layout as I STILL get confused about where things are, since it doesn't seem to be quite the same as other larger Tescos. It took me far too long to find tea bags in here for the office the other week, since a lot of the aisles aren't very clearly marked with what's actually in them, and I sometimes find the order of them doesn't entirely make sense. (Yes, I could have asked a member of staff but I need to be practically tearing my hair out to resort to that, I'm stubborn and I get a sad sense of achievement when I manage to find things myself.) I much prefer it to the other 2 giant supermarkets in the area - ASDA and Morrisons - as it's a lot more well stocked and less chaotic than the others. The staff are generally nice and friendly too, special mention goes to the older guy who works at the self-scan tills as he is always so ridiculously cheery and efficient when you need help, something I value when I'm dashing to the shops during my 30 min lunch break! But the most wondrous thing about this particular Tesco is that it has a KRISPY KREME CABINET. Yes, Nic's NYC Deli make far better doughnuts and yes, getting them from a cabinet is never the same as getting them from a shop, but if I've had a particularly mince day (or even if I've had a great day but I've decided to be a piggy) then it's good to know that Tesco Alloa will provide me with some KK doughnutty goodness.
