Grocerys in UK

I too am a supermarket tart and for me it has to be Waitrose. They win for freshness and best-before dates (they'll often mark-down items 48hrs before their BB date!) and have such a wonderful range on offer. I have some favourite products (bananas, smoked salmon, cottage cheese, lean ham, Charlie Bigham's range, smoked haddock chowder amongst some of my faves)

However, I tend to shop at Tesco most weeks too, because they carry more multi-buys and also have products I can only get at Tesco, although it annoys me how much of their fresh products have piss-poor BB & use-by-dates, often expiring within 48hrs which when shopping on a Saturday for the coming week is a bit of a pain.

I'm lucky that I don't have to budget too much, but I also won't pay over the odds. I don't like ASDA at all, although I do pop into our local store maybe once a quarter. Sainsbury's have a town-centre store which we sometime use for ad hoc items, but never go to their huge hypermarket out of town as it's a nightmare to park there and it was too expensive on certain items.

I used to shop at Morrisons and wish we had one in Colchester (along with Lidl, they are the only ones we don't have)

We have an Aldi 5mins form us too which is handy for shopping on way home.

I do most of my shopping at the Co-op. I can walk there & back and truthfully I don't find it any more expensive than Tesco for what I buy, and they usually have good offers on fruit & veg. To shop anywhere else involves at least one bus at almost £4 return fare.
I never shop at Asda as they are owned by Walmart.
