Last month, I visited ASM store, using curtsey car due to a car accident that rendered my vehicle…read moreunusable. As I understand, PCE, manages the car park of ASM. The car park is free for customers. However, after making payment at counter, the customers' needs to make entry of car registration number on t the display screen next to exit door. Regrettably, it appears that during this process, there might have been an error on my part--I may have inadvertently entered an old car registration number or, worse yet, forgotten to input the details entirely. Upon receiving a notice of car parking charges from the rental company, I promptly lodged an appeal, attaching proof of my shopping receipt from ASM as evidence of my visit. Despite providing this concrete evidence, which unequivocally verifies my presence at your store during the specified time, my appeal was callously overruled. This unjust dismissal of my appeal, despite furnishing proof of purchase, suggests a blatant disregard for customer goodwill and fairness.

ASM Cash & Carry is a surprisingly large Indian grocery store in the style of Worldwide Foods in…read moreRusholme, although ASM has the added attraction of a sari shop under the same roof! All the usual favourites are there, the dhals, rices, spices and speciality fruit & veg and fresh herbs. So if you are in Ashton experiencing hunger pangs for okra or yam or a big bunch of coriander leaf or fenugreek or a box of honey mangoes - ASM Cash & Carry are your people! On this visit, I discovered some different poppadum makes and varieties - including one incorporating fenugreek leaf which I can't wait to try! A plus for me is that this place appears to be totally vegetarian, and that would make sense as the adjacent Indian café-restaurant is called Lily's Vegetarian - I think Lily's is owned by the same people. The staff are really sweet, and the atmosphere is understandably a bit less hurried than Rusholme equivalents. I will definitely visit ASM when I'm in the area, and any Ashton foodie worth their salt should be a regular visitor!

While I was shopping at ASDA, I Decided to give this store a visit, it is a fantastic shop with…read moregreat bargains and even some Gluten Free Items. I was delighted to pick up 4 packs of DS Gluten Free Cornish Pasties for £2.95, from a range what is normally 3 pounds each. They get different stock in all the time, so it is worth going in very regularly to get all the latest bargains. If you are shopping at ASDA to get your main groceries, I would recommended giving this store a visit as it is in the same complex as the ASDA and you can pick up some really good frozen stuff for really good value. I was so shocked at the price, I had to ask the man if It was actually 4 boxes for £2.95 and It was. So many great products here with fantastic value, you wouldn't expect to see from a chain, Some of their products are so cheap, I wonder how they can make a good profit. UPDATE: I previously gave this place 5 stars but I think they is one bad thing I have been overlooking since I gave them that prestigous honour in August 2014, I feel that constantly changing stock is a bad thing, because you could go out of your way to get to this store looking for a certain product, when they could have replaced it with something else. If this store had more permenant stock without it changing as often as Portsmouth keep changing leagues, I would seriously would consider putting it back to 5 stars, but for now I feel that the fairer rating for this store is 3 stars.

I called at the Tommyfield Superstore while shopping in Oldham, looking to pick up a drink, and I…read morewas very dissapointed with my in-store experience, and had something happen which was to quote Judas Priest, "breaking the law, breaking the law!" The store its-self, is quite large but in general isn't a really nice place to shop due to the decor and color scheme, they even charge 5p for a bag here despite not being a large enough store with over 200 employees, instead just being one store, which was strange as they didn't need to comply with this law as far as I'm aware. They had a good selection of drinks, including Lipton Iced Tea, I picked up the Mango flavor, which is normally hard to get, they were sold at their RRP of 99p which was reasonable, despite being available cheaper at Heron Foods at 4 for £1, this is still the average price and I was happy to pay it. I noticed my drink tasted funny, I originally blamed it on a problem with the fridges until I taken a look at the expiration date, which stated November 2015, at the time of my experience, they were 4 months past this date, with no notice on. I was angered for this to happen, the staff didn't seem too helpful either, they just seemed quiet and talking to them, was near enough like a scan-it yourself machine, the manager seemed to do well in "clearing the stock", but the rest of the staff seemed poor. This isn't a great place in general, and mainly acts as a local shop, just by Tommyfield Pub and Market in Oldham city center, but I've really been put off this store by the issue with my Lipton Iced Tea, and other factors mentioned in this review.

This is a handy medium sized grocers and greengrocers that sells both Asian (Indian subcontinent)…read moreand English food, and a wide range of both, with a halal meat counter at the back and chest freezers with a range of fish. I go there for the basics like milk and marge, but also for rice, herbs, spices, cheap cleaning items, large bags of dried fruit and nuts, oven chips, frozen samosas, and tahini and tinned chickpeas for making my own hummus. They also have a very big range of soft drinks. Service at the till is no better or worse than most shops, the people at the tills are mostly young and a little offhand, like shop assistants in most small businesses. But they are helpful if you need to ask them where to find something. I like that they open slightly longer than average hours, too, it makes it more convenient to shop here.

I've been on a mission to discover more of north Manchester recently. Cheetham Hill is one of the…read morereas which holds a lot of interest for me as a foodie with Cheetham hill road being a great example of multi-cultural Manchester. As well as being another central hub of Manchester's south Asian community it's also adjacent to Manchester's Jewish community. This Superstore sits inbetween the two communities and is buzzing with activity all week long. It's probably one of the biggest stores of its kind in the city. The summertime is a perfect time to visit, for me at least because it's mango season! Honey mangos are shipped in all the way from Pakistan and are priced very reasonably considering they are HEAVENLY! There's also a butchers in house and the store houses a library of herbs and spices. In short there are stores like this littered aross the city in smaller denominations. And in all honesty they probably cater for all the things that are available here. But if you want that remote spice from a youtube recipe or want a faluda flavour ice cream like I do, this is the only place to go.

Wow, no review for the largest branch of Manchester Superstore - says a lot about the current…read moredemographic of Yelp reviewers in Manchester! There are actually two large premises of Manchester Superstore directly opposite each other on either side of Cheetham Hill Road, and if you are into these kind of stores then you will need to check them both out! It may be the case that the one on the left as you travel out of town is more for a quick shop, but it also has a bunch of stuff upstairs - cookware, and kebab shop consumables! Across the road - on the right hand side of the road as you travel out of town - is a building of impressive architecture, which seems to be the wholesale premises, although it is open to the general public, no problem, and this is where I will be shopping from now on. I go for fresh produce, and freshness was above average plus I think Cheetham Hill prices are a bit lower. Just the usual routine for me - stocked up with okra, drumstick, karela, fresh chickpeas, plus fresh herbs which are the bargain of the century at 2 huge bunches for £1. Always good for a bit of ethnic atmosphere. Not quite as much of a feeling of a well-oiled machine as say Worldwide in Rusholme and not as busy at the tills, but the manager is a bit more friendly here on my visit, and opened up another till to get me through quickly. Really love my Desi supermarkets!

After going to Tesco twice on Monday 9th January (once in the morning at 10am and then once in the evening at 6pm), my mum received a fine of £40.00 claiming that she stayed at the store for 8 HOURS 21 MINUTES. Firstly, I found it hilarious that any customer would or could ever stay at TESCO for that long! Secondly, as the claims were completely false as my mum does work! And thankfully we have CCTV at our house so have evidence that our car was parked on our drive during that time) I just wanted to warn all TESCO shoppers. As a very loyal customers of TESCO, I'm not sure what to say except... sorry for shopping there too often? We won't make that mistake again.
