Where do you buy your groceries because Morrisons are taking the pish.

[Lee S]

I find Aldi quite amusing, the way they chuck everything at you and you've got to shove it all back in the trolley and pack it on a ledge by the window

I used to buy their 'Romeo' chocolate bars that are like a Bounty but better than a Bounty. Oh yeah.

[Appear]

Mainly ASDA, with a smattering of Lidl, Iceland and M&S.

We refer to ASDA as 'razzda' because we're very fancy people.

[Seagull]

There's never any excuse for daylight snobbery, but there are some shockingly working class supermarkets on this thread, and Biccies shopping at frickin' Lidl!!! WTAF!?!? Chess at Asda I can just about cope with, but Biscuits and Lidl is a complete head doer.

^ Lidl isn’t working class, you can buy fresh focaccia there. It’s not Iceland, get a grip.

lol,..

erm,... having SA doesn't tend to go hand in hand with having a decent amount of money as disposable income,

I'd agree that Lidl isn't a particularly great place to shop, but needs must,

[anxiouslondoner]

I vary between shopping online at Sainsburys, Asda and Tesco and shopping on my bike at Sainsburys (there's a few big stores within cycle range) or Tesco. I like a bit of variety to keep things interesting. Sometimes I just need a few extras from the small local Sainsburys or Co-op which are nearby (or sometimes the even nearer Budgens, but they seem far too expensive for what you get)
I don't know of a Morrisons near here, there are apparently a few although they used to only be oop North.

[Sunrise]

I send my footman to Fortnum and Masons for all my groceries. Although it's usually just for the basic essentials like foie gras and champagne.

Seagull + Expensive Supermarkets = Feathered Nest!

[Dougella]

I think Seagull shops at Waitrose

Exactly, the complete grocery haul can never be made at one store at least if your a picky eater like me. No supermarket is super they are all a bit meh...Mehmarkets it is.

Speed is good at the checkout, alleviates the anxiety and I can quickly turn my back and avert my gaze from everyone in the store whilst I'm packing my bags, the biggest annoyance is if a security tag sets the alarm off when leaving.

Then you must try the Farmfoods scrummage on a Saturday morning.

The thought of having my bike stolen whilst in store fills me with dread. Too much criminality around here to risk it.

I do like the F & M wicker hampers for life, they do turn heads when I pack my groceries in Aldi.

[Merry]

Talking of oop North (as anxiouslondoner was) do you Southern chaps have Booths?

[biscuits]

^ We got Boots but not Booths.

What's Booths? Secret shops for Northern eyes only.

I've had that happen a few times in B&Q when they've forgotten to deactivate the hidden security thingy. It causes everyone to stare at the apparent disgusting shoplifter

[Merritt]

I get that maybe once a year when I'm shopping at Aldi. I just stop, turn, make eye contact with whichever staff is looking my way, and wait for them to wave me on. I should really set myself an annual shoplifting day to take advantage of it.

Yeah, same.

My clothes bursting at the seams with 80 packets of bacon underneath, while I do my best 'What?' face

It’s like Waitrose for Northerners

[Seagull]

^ Booths makes Waitrose look like Lidl. £4 or £5 for a box of cereal for fark's ache. Was up in Keswick last week and we had to hover around the woman putting the yellow labels on in order to be able to afford anything in there.

Absolutely not, Dougella, the nauseating stench of middle class pomposity as Tallulah and Godfrey do their weekly shop isn't for my staunchly working class palate! Plus it's a frickin' rip off.

No booty call for you!!!

[Seagull]

I've been very much misconstrued on this thread, Chess. Meet me round the back of your local Tesco Express in 26 minutes and I'll explain all. #BootyCall

[Chess&Junkfood]

It breaks my heart to say this Seagull, but I need to see some bank statements before you start plundering for treasure!

That being said, I don't want you to go away empty handed:



Free of charge of course! Although I think he's still patrolling the forum at the moment. And it goes without saying that you can go hog wild with him as well!!

Anyway, time for nibbles!
