Supermarket website is great, but if you actually go in store and look at the cheapo value stuff you'll find there's less calories on some products than leading brands.

I agree with this. My daughter has a milk allergy and we were told by the dietician to look at value brands as they are less likely to contain milk. As they dnt add as much stuff to them, which in turn makes them cheaper.

I actually find that Tesco is cheaper than Asda for what I buy, I also prefer the meat from Tesco, when I shop at asda the meat always seems a bit off and always really fatty and stringy.

The bargains are terrible in supermarkets, you don't see fruit on buy one get one free, but they always have biscuits and crisps on that offer... Tutt

Tesco often have offers on fruit and veg. Oranges in particular normally have a 'buy one get one free' and often you can get two lots of fruit or veg for a little more than a single amount (e.g. "2 bags of spinach for £1.40 or 1 for £1").

I hate how Tesco have taken over everything but they have the best range of organic fruit and veg of any supermarket - or at least the ones local to me. Asda have cheaper organic milk tho! Lidl have a fantastic range of fruit and veg if you're not worried about organics - got a huge pineapple in there for 99p today (the thick skin means I'm not so worried about it!) I would love Morrisons if I wasn't so fussy about my products, their fruit and veg are great but that's about it.

Another reason I shop there. We eat a LOT of fruit and veg (check my user name, lol).

Wow! The difference is masssive!! I have to say though that we end up doing our shopping at 3 or 4 different shops to get the best deals and prices on the things we buy most! Milk and cheese and Chicken and turkey products from ASDA and Coffee and Veg from Tesco. We are lucky we have a Tesco, ASDA and Morrisons nearby and a Sainsburys not too far away either!!

Will have to remember that next time i pass Tesco, to pop in and look at veg/fruit offers.

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.
