An eagerly anticipated recent addition to Headington, replacing the old Somerfield supermarket…read more Inside it hasn't changed a lot and it's not a huge store but there's a selection of the usual Waitrose goodies including fish and meat counters as well as a bakery. There's a public carpark right next door (rumour has it that Waitrose tried hard to buy some of the carpark from the council but were refused) and most of the Headigton buses stop fairly nearby.

Ahhhh The Co-op! The jewel of Templars Square :)…read more I'm always amazed at how competitive the prices are here and you've gotta love the budget tv commercials! All in all my supermarket of choice (i'm a poor student) and i've always found the staff in this particular branch very friendly and helpful.

This is a really large sized Co-op, offering good value on a wide range of products…read more they frequently have special offers on selected products- usually buy one get one free, or less than half price, making it even better value. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and there are a large number of checkouts which are opened during busy times to reduce the length of time you need to spend queueing to pay for your goods. They sell good quality fruit and vegetables, as well as snacks, ready meals, and household goods. The large size of the store enables it to stock a wide range of products, and so it caters to the vast majority of your needs. The prices are quite competitive, and the quality is good, so it is definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

Conveniently located a few minutes walk from Univ, this grocery store has just about everything you…read morecan need except pharmacy items. The prices are not cheap but I don't have a huge database for comparison. I like the fact that they installed self-check out stations which greatly speeds the process. They often have specials on beers and ales which brings down the prices a bit.

This is the smaller of the two Sainsbury's stores in central Oxford. Being a little bit more…read morecentral than the Westgate store, and with longer opening hours, it is naturally busier. The range of products is not as good as that in the Westgate and the prices are higher - a tub of houmous might be 5p more expensive here. It's not the place to do your weekly shop, but is convenient for little things that you might have forgotten to buy. Queues are long but fast moving at peak times. One thing that does put me off is that most of the fresh fruit and veg is pre-packaged, which means that a) you can't pick out exactly what you want, and b) you can't have smaller amounts than are in the bags.

Sainsbury's Local has a fairly good range of foods, with all the essentials and is usually…read morewell-stocked despite its popularity. It's quite hard to get into through the flow of pedestrians and queues for the bus on Magdalen Street, but it's well worth it. There are no surprises, and it's not really the height of luxury, but there's a good selection of fruit juices and a section of bakery goods and lunch time snacks/meals. Because it's only Sainsbury's Local, as opposed to the main shop, you don't really get the good Sainsbury's Basics deals or the more unusual foods, but there's usually a suitable alternative available. The queue often snakes around the shop and is very offputting, but it moves surprisingly quickly; they've got a very efficient system going, so don't be put off because of that. The most frustrating thing is trying to fit everything into a bag on the tiny counter, as the shop assistants work very quickly! Some are friendly, some aren't so, but you'll get your food for a reasonable price, so it doesn't really matter.

This is large Tesco store, which has bakery, fishmonger and Krispy Kreme donuts!…read morePlenty of parking with a good wholefood section. There is also a cafe, which seems to be a sales reps meeting point between 9-10am.

This particular Marks and Spencer is really just a grocery store (not a big M&S like the one…read moredowntown that has clothes, etc.) - and has a lot of good, fresh food as well as some innovative sauces and kits. Their prices are not bad, even though I think they have a reputation for being the pricey option; but when doing my own informal price comparisons with Sainsbury and Tesco, they all seem to be pretty similar. M&S tends to have a pretty good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. I think their weakness is in the fact that they mostly only have their own store brands of nonperishables, but they've started to incorporate other brands of cereal, etc. But generally, you can be sure you're going to find what you need here, with good quality, and at a decent price. I'm a fan of their Indian cooking sauces, some of their pasta sauces, and their house-brand cereals. Just a note: For anyone with experience with actual Mexican food, their enchilada kits will be a disappointment. But that's pretty typical for Britain, anyway... you don't really come here for Latin American food ;)

One of the things I've come to like about M&S is the food side of things, and this place in…read moreSummertown is a perfect example. The prepared foods available are wonderful and the selection is quite good. The fruit and veg looked fine, as did the meats. The staff was helpful and check out was quick w/ self-scan. Good to go!

First off - BRING YOUR OWN BAGS FOR PACKING - Lidl charge for theirs…read more Second just because its Lidl doesnt necessarily mean its cheaper that someof the larger supermarkets. However, overall good fun with different varieties. Take the special offer flyer as you go in to browse through see if anything non-food takes you fancy. And be aware there can be long queues at the checkouts.

My partner and I were shopping on Monday in Headington, Oxford, and my partner went into the Botley…read moreRoad Aldi and was frightened by the lack of attention of staff and buyers to the 2 metre, coronavirus rule. When she exited the shop to bring the goods to the car she was badly shaken by the danger she had been in. I watched outside as shoppers casually took completely uncleaned trolleys into the shop. My partner said that people were not giving space at all. These people and the staff are in coronavirus danger. We will not be visiting the shop again.

"This is like our neighborhood sunday haunt."…read more So started my introduction to Aldi. And yes, we did see my sister's neighbors there and apparently it is where people go to in oxford on a sunny sunday afternoon. I was wowed by the rows upon rows of stacked up imitation branded goods in Aldi and even more WOWED by their prices. Unfortunately most of the food I have tasted as far wasn't as wowing.... This included the not so cheesy gruyer cheese straws, the salty chocolate digestives, very dry bread (literally the sandwich dried my mouth better than a dentist's office) and not very juicy lemons. HOWEVER, they do somehow managed to make delectable "posh" chocolates, which comes in either packs of 5 in a pretty card board box or a bag of 5 variety flavours for about 99p. I am partial to the milk chocolate which tastes a bit like lindt and the dark is pretty decent too. Wowed by the prices, I leave with about 10 times as much groceries as I get from waitrose and about 5 times from tesco. Not sure I would shop here rather than the other 2 though... It is very cheap and the fresh produce looks ok, but I am not sure about anything else, down to the £3.50 bottle of "champagne"...
