    The issue with the Tescos is that unless you come at the start of the day after they have completed…read morea fruitful stocking night the shelves will be half empty, it will be mind-bogglingly busy and there may be stuff everywhere. 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.

    This is known fairly widely as 'Big Tesco', to distinguish it from the Tesco on Cowley Road, and it…read morecertainly lives up to the name. 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.

    Love love love. Not…read morea lot in term of grocery in this area, so then farm shop is a blessing to me. Not a fan of the co-op down the road this is the best place to get produce, eggs, meat and just about most things you can think of to fill your fridge and cupboard. The upstairs even has large freezers with ice cream and baked goods, and more meat. The people are very friendly and everything is quite affordable. I am so happy to be able to support my local farmer. They'll soon be starting a delivery service as well!

    We've just moved to the area and are here for a year without a car, so being able to walk to a shop…read morewith such variety and extremely reasonable prices is wonderful! My husband was able to find whole oats here (called Jumbo Oats) which he couldn't find in any of the major grocery stores. The meat prices are extremely good especially for being so fresh and local, and the frozen meats are a super bargain! We bought some just-picked seasonal strawberries yesterday and they were amazingly delicious. We still need to get some things at a bigger store like some familiar national/international brands or particular varieties of groceries, but Radmore Farm Shop is definitely our new place to walk for fruit, veg, and meat. It's perfect for those "What are we going to have for dinner" afternoons because I can grab meat, onions, mushrooms, and whatever veg suits and cook something up fast. We are definite fans and plan to shop here routinely while we're in town.

    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.

    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"...
