As an American, going to a new grocery store in the UK was so fun!…read more I loved seeing all of the different snacks, treats, and groceries. These juices below are so delicious! I bought like 6 just for my trip to have something to drink. My second favorite thing was the Battenberg cakes. I'm a huge fan of the Great British Baking Show, and to be able to see these all around, I was so happy!

A really big Sainsbury's with lots of choice. Right next to a large Marks and Spencer in a big…read moreshopping and Industrial area. 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.

Must admit do not visit that often, even though a 'fan'. On this visit, they now have a small…read moreButcher, Fishmonger & Bakery counter. There is also a see cafe as turn right into the Store. Situated right next to the M & S Store

leaving Tesco yesterday I realised I had a puncture so pulled in to the recycling area opposite the…read morepetrol station. the gentleman in there offered to help me as he was an ex RAC patrol man. in the end he couldn't as I did not have the correct equipment. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who stopped to offer help, in the end a lovely young man from Latvia came and helped me. He pulled out this huge screw/ bolt from the tyre then repaired it with something magic that looked like a rubber plug. I don't know his name, he said he lived in new Milton and he had a blue car. He really was a saviour to me. I was so amazed that so many kind people came to my aid and offered help. with all the bad things happening in this world today, all the people who stopped were just kind and wonderfu, I'm glad I live in this great country.

Awesome store. A must visit of you need supplies while in the New Forest. What is even better is…read morethat this is a 24 hour a day store so you can get nappies or anything else you may need. Car park is also quite big, so no problem with stopping here. Another good thing is the fact that the petrol is cheaper here than at any of the other petrol stations in the local area. Top marks!

Normally walk to the Southsea store, but today drove. Came…read moreback to find no space and door just opened enough to get shopping through, then I heard a teenager in the car say 'don't damage my mother's car'. I gave him his hat back which he had dropped beside my car and told him that there was no damage and tried to explain they had not left me enough room to get in. He then said 'don't argue with me' and launched into an unprovoked tirade of abuse. His mother returned and he kindly told me to F*** off then got out of his car and took a picture of me although I told him this would be harassment - which it was. It is so nice to have a chance to mix with the upper classes at Waitrose, you just don't get this at other supermarkets.

Update: I come in here most mornings for coffee and a…read morepastry. The girls who work the morning shifts are all so nice and sunny first thing and happy to chat. Really nice to get that sense of community shop from a big chain store. Original review: Great size for a local Waitrose, big enough to be the catch-all, but not a megastore by any stretch of the imagination. It's hard to review a Waitrose it seems. If you really need a lot of info maybe try wikipedia. (btw, their bread counters are always brilliant).

As with all Lidl stores they sell food from other countries quite cheaply. They also sell some…read moreproducts from well known brands. From time to time they have some really good offers. I find that I can't get everything I need from this store but I can get a lot from here for a lot less money that at other stores. They charge for carrier bags.

Yes, the range is smaller and the shop isn't bright and laid out in the same way as you would expect in major store but this all means that the cost of the products themselves can be kept lower. Lidl always reminds me of supermarkets I have visited in Germany and it's nice to find products being sold that I wouldn't find in one of the majors. The 'nougat pillow' breakfast cereal is amazing (although it's obviously not the healthiest option for breakfast). The main downside to Lidl is the checkout waiting time. They never seem to have many staff on in this store, so there's often quite a wait, which is frustrating if you're only buying a couple of bits. All in all I would recommend it to anyone that's trying to save money and is happy to try something different to what they're used to.

It's very conveniently next to all the bus stops. Even though I dislike their TV ad's it won't put me off shopping here as the food is good quality and the prices are good though not on fresh fruit or veg. In fact I would say that their chiller cabinet goods are generally not as competitively priced as their frozen goods, however they sell milk at an excellent price.
