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!

When i was doing my shopping i wanted veg and i went down the aisle and is was a mess cardboard…read moreplastic food on the floor and when i went to reach a sweet potato and I touch it and it was mouldy and soft (black) and fly came from it there was no meat and it was mouldy food on the meat shelf And the toilets was disgusting like they don't clean it they need to improve big time.

Unfortunately, with my recent visits to Asda I feel that what made Asda great really dropped -…read moremainly the prices. 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.

The downside is Sainsbury's is that in general it seems to be a bit more expensive than other…read moresupermarkets so as best I can, I try to avoid them to be honest. However, there are still some bright sides. Atmosphere: Nothing impressive, slightly cramped to be honest, especially when comparing to Morrison's or Asda builds. Variety: Like I said, Sainsbury's tends to be a tad bit more expensive than your other supermarkets, so in this particular location with loads of supermarkets to choose from, you'll rarely ever find a deal here. However, from what I've noticed the "International Foods" section of Sainsbury's is a LOT more varied than other supermarkets. The times I do visit Sainsbury's are when I'm craving some favourites I'm unable to find at Morrison's or Asda: - Low-Fat Mango Ice Cream (so delicious!) - Plenty of East Asian foods that aren't your usual standard boring stir-fry sauces. You have Japanese curry capsules, Thai sauces, etc. Like I said, some of these favourites weren't available at the other supermarkets I frequent, so I come to Sainsbury's for that reason. However, if you're going for generic foods that you can find anywhere else, you're better off elsewhere given how expensive Sainsbury's is.

I worked for this Sainsbury's for 4 years part-time whilst I was a student. I have to say that it…read moreis a great store, because it is not too large, but still offers a great range of products. The Salad bar is amazing, where you can choose your own from Ham & Pasta to Cheese, Croutons and Fresh Fruit. The store also has a curry counter/hot chickens/ bakery and deli. The staff are friendly and as Sainsbury's usually dothe quality of food is better than Asda or Tesco. The store does however, suffer from bad stock levels from time to time around 5pm especially the in store bakery.

This particular branch of Morrisons is relatively new and very large, with a lot of hype and…read moreexcitement surrounding its opening in the area. Overall, I think this Morrisons is a solid 4 stars - large, spacious, and very clean. Atmosphere: As I mentioned, this Morrisons is well kept and very clean. Walk in, and you're met with the vegetables that have cold steam to keep them fresh and cool. It's the first time I've seen something like that... the FUTURE! There's a cafe attached to this Morrisons that's a nice place to have a small drink or a snack while shopping as well. Variety: Because if its sheer size, for the most part there is quite a lot of variety in this Morrisons, however... ~ The Asian section is incredibly lacking. The sauces are limited to soy sauce, and pre-made stir fry sauces. A bit unimpressive really if you're looking to delve into Asian cooking. I advocate that everyone tries to learn a bit of Asian cooking beyond pre-made stirfries. If the demand is up, then supermarkets in Wales would deliver. Hot Food: The hot food they have on offer is alright, but isn't amazing. The crackling they have the pork is pretty disgusting and more chewy and stuck together than crackling. --- Overall, Morrisons is a solid 4 stars - huge with lots to offer.
