I am very annoyed that most shops have stopped catering for older people. The cash desks are at the…read moreother end of the shop,and when you have managed to walk around the shop to get your shopping, and then have to wait for ages to be served,it is impossible at 73 with fibromyalgia,osteoarthritis and a bad back. It seems you are not interested in the elderly as there are loads of self serve checkouts, and they are all near the exit. I find there are not even many places to sit either while I wait for my husband to checkout at the other end of the shop. I feel you may not have considered any of what I have related to you, so thought I would tell you what many older folk have discussed and agreed with me. Mrs Ockwell

This is one of the biggest ASDA's in the UK. It has everything you could possibly need. The shelves…read moreare always stocked and with it being a 24hour store, its fantatsic for those midnight munchies or if you work ridiculous shifts, like me, its great for doing the shopping on the way home late at night. They do sometimes have some real good reduced price bargains around 23:00. The cafe also has some good bargains food wise which help fill the gap when you decide on an impromptu shopping session. The store itself is not the prettiest and can sometimes look quite scruffy, however being such a big store, it is understandable and ASDA offer cheaper shopping, they pull their customers back with the reduced prices. All in all this Walmart store has everything one could ever need under one roof. There are many roll back price bargains on offer all the time and generally their prices are cheaper than most of their competitors.

Have you shopped at Lidl yet? It's really good and you can save so much money shopping there.

Not so many branded products but I've only ever bought one thing (pickle) which I couldn't eat. Would recommend their sausages, cheese, cooked meats - deli, ice cream (brill), beers and lagers, squash, fruit and veg oh and nuts!!! Also do some good christmas things - choc for tree/table. Well worth a visit. Each week they have 'specials' on - you can pick up a leaflet in the store so that you know what's coming.

You need danger money to enter this store. The amount of rubbish on the floor, cardboard and…read moreplastic was unreal. Visited on a Saturday evening around 6pm and informed cashier of rubbish on floor. The cashier said, oh someone goes round later and clears all of that up. I replied, but if someone slips on it now, it will be too late won't it. With that, cashier got really worried and thought I had slipped on rubbish in store. The cashier then got a colleague to go out and pick rubbish up. Because this company is German and not English, they obviously think health and safety rules do not apply to them, like every other company in the UK. An absolute rubbish tip of a store. I will not be visiting this store again. Worse supermarket I have been in ever !!!

I had some clue that this Waitrose existed, thanks to Mr. Snarky, however, I had never been to it…read more One night we drove by it and I saw one of the buses that stops just outside. So after wandering about one day, waiting for Mr. Snarky to finish at work so we could head back to Bolton, I decided to take the bus out to Waitrose after looking up that they had a cafe that I could perch in. My experiences with Waitrose haven't been very many as I have often been in towns that don't have a Waitrose. However, this one is impressive and makes me wish this was down the street from the apartment. Firstly, this one is on the canal with seating outside. It was a gorgeous day and a really good move on Waitrose's part as those walking along the canal may stop in for coffee and cake. There is a juice/smoothie bar at the front of the store as you enter while there is a bakery with coffee shop at the back of the store. There is a little bar area where you can sit and enjoy or just take a break from shopping. The shop offers a nice variety of items, but yes, some of it is a bit pricier than the discount stores. However, you are probably more likely to find those specialty items you need to make that recipe you saw on t.v. here than in one of those discount stores... so pros and cons. There is a small toiletry area, but no housewares, etc. As I was walking through the beverage and alcohol aisle, I did notice a small "bar" where it looks like there might be wine tasting??? It was hard to see as there were a number of men in suits crowded around, but I swear they were having a late afternoon drink. There are self checkout kiosks if you prefer those, but it seemed like the majority of Waitrose customers prefer the staffed tills. Free loos through the seating area of the cafe. The cafe does offer different desserts than the bakery at the back of the store and they also offer hot food. You can sit inside... or you can sit outside, overlooking the canal. The set up is really quite nice. I took my tea outside to one of the picnic tables along the canal and admired the plants and gardening items they had on sale outside. Love this store and wish it was my regular store!

It's a great store. Very polite & helpful staff, lovely new store with a good selection of…read moreproducts. I like the juice bar & coffee bar by the bakery. Whilst Waitrose food isn't the cheapest in my experience it is very good quality with good ideas for meals too. I would say it's possible to get reasonably priced products there & some of their offers are easily as good as the other major supermarkets. It is definitely worth a try.

This is one of the smaller Tesco shops in Swindon. It does not carry the range of products that the…read morelarge Tesco store in Ocotal Way, Swindon carries, but it is handy if you just need one or two bits and pieces, whether it be a can of beans, a loaf of bread, some wine or a newspaper or magazine. It is open until 11 I think, so you might need to pop in to get something late at night. You can park right outside, so this is not a problem, although sometimes, there can be groups of teenagers hanging around outside, which can be quite intimidating. Don't forget you can also use your Tesco clubcard to get points for days out vouchers.

However as this place is so huge you'll probably still find what you are looking for. Since I've lived in Oxford I've come here about a dozen or so times. We tend to try and stick to mid evening as the crowds die down a bit and they are not quite into their horrible restocking mode. Generally you can find fresh products and a wide selection of near everything (do not come to this Tescos if you are looking for home goods/ electronics/ etc). The prices as it is Tescos are decent. The staff are generally friendly as long as you're not getting the end of shift crowd. PROS: Large selection Good quantity of stock Price CONS: Gets ultra busy Leftover stock can be of bad quality Other side of the ring road.

It's got a huge range of items, although no adult clothing (other than underwear) or much in the way of electronics/media/toys, unlike even bigger stores. For groceries, though, it's got a lot to offer. Fruit and veg are of good quality and usually well-stocked. The deli and fresh fish counters offer a lot of choice, and they even have a large 'Polish food' section. They have two 'car trolleys' which amuse small (and big) kids greatly, and make the shopping trip easier with children who are too big for the trolley seats but too small to walk all the way around without whining. Staff are friendly and helpful, and offers on food are good value.

Lots of parking spaces although quite hard to navigate in the car park. It also has a few cash points, a car wash and a petrol station. This Sainsbury's also has a cafe area, a hot food counter, electrical and clothes areas. It is a very large store and takes quite a while to look around, although it is laid out really well. There is a dedicated desk in the clothes and electrical area that can help you with any stock that isn't out on display. It has a large fruit and veg section as well as a bakery but the frozen food isle are not that big. Good place to do your weekly shop as you have a marks and Spencer next door and the petrol is always at a reasonable price compared to other stations. Staff are also helpful and friendly.
