Tesco Berkhamsted has gone through some major changes of late. It once was the only decent…read moresupermarket in the area, and then the large Waitrose opened, and tesco downsized to 'Tesco Metro', opening a large Tesco in Tring. Thankfully the top floor of the Tesco is now open, making it possible to finally do shopping in Berkhamsted without spending a small fortune in Waitrose. The store is always busy, clean and whilst quite small, surprisingly well stocked. The re-opening of the top floor means that clothes are now available as well as home essentials. If you live in Berkhamsted, do your shopping here!

This place is massive, and I do mean massive as in gigantic!…read moreThe car park is the size of good park, and the signing is bewildering. My first time there, so give me a break, hey I only wanted petrol (well chocolate too) and had been told it was 'right around the back'. Ok, I understnd that instruction. But it evaporates when, as a newcomer, you enter the entrance of the car park. Where the heck is the back? I'd missed the sign of course, so I tootled round and about, and saw a chap in a reflector jacket, I asked him the way. He made sense, was insructive and clear, until I got to the corner he told me about. Hmmm, what's the worst that could happen? I kept going and finally actually saw a sign, just as I clocked the petrol station. The staff were very friendly indeed, and amused at the quantity of chocolate I bought. Alas, I still need to sponge my skirt as most of it melted on my lap.

I do love Tescos and use the one at Faraday Retail Park in Coatbridge!…read more Unlike Bluesofty's parking experience (ha, ha!) the car park is in front of the store, which is all you see of it when you enter the retail park thank goodness!!! My problem is always (and wherever I am) not being able to find my car when I finish shopping! Not funny when it's a freezing winter's night and one is having a youthful incontinence moment!!!!! The selection of fresh fruit and veg, fish and meat (everything really) in Tescos is brilliant and it is very hard to drag me away from the chocolate aisle! I am a Cadburys Dairty Milkaholic and it has to be the largest possible bar available! I get severe withdrawal symptoms when I detox ocassionally due to the jeans waiste tightening feeling!!! When going through one of these periods I linger for many minutes at a time just looking at the chocolate on the shelf and willing myself not to put any in my trolley!!! A couple of weeks of this and the cravings disappear! I can spend hours in Tesco just looking, wishing to buy and thinking can I or can I not afford (clothes, books, shoes, bags, electrical goods, toys, games, kitchen ware, paint, DIY, the lot)! You name it Tesco has it! It's clean and staff are helpful plus usually share a joke with you, which always makes a day feel even better! I also have 2 lovely large cloth green bags but unfortunately I keep leaving them at home or, when I put them in the boot of my car I forget to take them out before going into the store! Is this an age things I wonder! Probably more honest to say I've always been a bit of an eejit!!! I do love you Tesco! Thumbs up!

Hatfield branch Paying by cash is getting more and more…read moredifficult at Tesco, Hatfield. You can either pay cash at the check out counter or in the self checkout basket section which might be 3, 4 or 5 tiles. This changes all the time - apparently the tiles have 'problems' according to one of the staff. Customers are being asked to use the self scan service which works well if you pay by card. If you pay cash then you must queue - WHY. The customer is already doing everything and gets penalised because they pay cash. TESCO wake up to the real world, not everyone has a card !!!!!

Did not feel safe shopping here for groceries. Way too many people about, the cashiers do not wear masks, barely any sanitising equipment about. Maybe do your shopping elsewhere or online better still if you wish to remain safe from Covid.

This Sainsburys is quite near to St Albans City Centre and has ample parking outside and also 2…read morecash machines. There is a bakery, a pharmacy, a dry cleaner (Johnsons), a butcher and a fishmonger. The left hand aisles of the store are dedicated to toys, home furnishings and cds/dvds and books. This store is perfectly big enough for you to buy just about anything you would want from a supermarket. It has 2 aisles of alcohol for you to choose from. The queues are never too bad and there are several basket only checkouts. There is also a cafe. It is uninspiring but functional.

They do seem to have many offers on each day with a healthy selection of reduced to clear items down each aisle. Staff are friendly although a customer in front of me didn't think so and was accusing the staff of stealing a voucher from him! If you're local to the store it's more than suffice to do your weekly shop.

I'll give this shop five stars with a heavy heart. I don't loke the way Tescos are expanding, but I…read morehave to say that their store here improved the village centre immensly. There used to be a godawful Quicksave supermarket here before, a real magnet for local scrotes and an absolute eyesore, both outside and within.

I don't think the fruit and veg last any longer than any other supermarket and the bread is expensive but search around. The Earl Grey tea is cheaper than the co-op. The range of pulses in (I think biodegradable) unfussy packaging is cheap and they do reduce short sell by date stuff. As has been said..the only place in the old town so not a major value place but convenient. It also has a post office.

We wouldn't shop for groceries anywhere else, although nearly always via Waitrose Direct nowadays…read more You get a much better deal through the internet as anything near its sell-by date is given to you free, and as long as you order 50 quid's worth delivery is free too. You also get decent heavy-duty single use plastic bags in abundance, unlike the flimsy sort you get in the store. Having said that you have to book a shopping slot at least a month in advance for popular times (e.g. Friday mornings), which does involve checking out a basket worth at least 50 quid. This is not as bad as it sounds because you can always add and subtract that basket right up to mid day on the day before delivery. Beware however that the website gets incredibly slow as this deadline approaches, so you're better off finalising the delivery the evening before.

It is located just outside the Arndale centre of Luton…read more The shop is always very tidy, clean and neat. Farmfoods sell an assortment of frozen foods including meat, vegetables and various other groceries. Though there is not too many staff in there but we get a very good and quick service. There is not a long wait at checkout. The bargains are great a bit similar to Lidl, but mainly in frozen section. I do look for ongoing offers on icecreams, ready to eat food items before going to any other shop. In our area we regularly get the money off coupons to use in farmfoods, which is generally £2.50 off £25 spend, so that's even 10% off on top of their great bargains.
