Having a snack page on Instagram (check it out at @thesweetspot_sv) and doing snack swaps with…read moreother countries, I've tried many different snacks from around the world. However, my favorite ones are from Germany and the UK. I knew when I came to the UK, I had to take a look to see what they had to offer. One of the stores I wanted to check out was Tesco. There was a Tesco Express near my hotel, but I wanted to look at what was available in the bigger store. While not exactly close, my kids were able to trek the 20 minutes from where we were and the 25 minutes back to the hotel. What troopers! Well, it was either that or no snacks for them!
While I wouldn't exactly call this Tesco a "superstore" per se, it was a lot bigger than the express. It was basically a regular size grocery store. However, their selection of snacks was insane! I'll be honest, I didn't go thru any of the other aisles, but I'm sure they had a good supply of lotions and Kleenex, too. You know, just in case you're looking for those 2 things together. Just sayin'.
Anyway, like I said, one aisle had all the candy, cookies, snack cakes and anything else that will give you diabetes. If that isn't enough, they have a huge selection of ice creams in another aisle, too! Including Kinder Ice Cream!
Now, back to that snack selection. Of course, they will have a lot of Kinder and Cadbury items. But, they also have unique M&Ms and Kit Kats, that you can't find in the US. Not to mention other brands like Galaxy, Mr. Kipling, McVities, and Thorntons. Also underrated are the Tesco-branded snacks. They have unique flavors and the taste is that of any other name-brand item.
Unless you are a snack freak like me, you can probably get most of your snack needs at any Tesco Express. Yes, they have a bigger selection, but of course, the more popular items are stocked up at the other stores.
