Where do you shop most often and why? Not just for food but just when you fancy having a good nosey around.

Netto because it rocks. Primark for clothes. I would be a moron to spend more money on clothes. Me and the kids are always head to foot in mud.

It is a twinkly section. All the stuff that catches your eye and makes you forget you only came in for margerine.

Interweb - I only ever go into town or meadowhall when I need something speicif and for whatever reason either can't or don't want to wait. As a general rule I'll end up going to Meadowhall since its only a couple of minutes drive from work so can nip out there at lunchtime.

Netto for the food basics.
Morrisons for fresh fish vegetables.
Tesco so the kids can use the self- serve payment method, I still get to pay though.
Meadowhall for clobber, and music CDs and eating out whole shopping usually wih the kids.
B&Q or Wickes for DIY or garden stuff.
When my daughters home from Uni we have to trawl the record shops up Walkley way.

Town cause i can walk there, i wouldn't pay the bus fares to get to Meadowhall even though its spot on.

Any shop other than the one my wife is in. She can spend hours looking at things at which point I give up the will to live and become a semi comatose vegetable saying things like " Yes love" "It really suits you" "No its not too young for you""Yes it will look nice next to the sideboard / cupboard/ window sill etc etc etc
I trust to God that I am saying the right response to the right question but have been known to pose the wrong answer to the question asked with painful results!!

Poundland in Meadowhall sucks.

I went in earlier, just for 1 Mars Bar and the cheeky mare on the checkout wanted to charge me a quid for it cos they were on offer 4 for a quid, I said "I only want 1 though" and she said "I'd still have to charge you £1 for it so you might as well have 4", I'm sorry but ?! :loopy:

Last time I buy chocolate from there that is a cert.

Town - for M & S & John Lewis
Hillsborough - like the convenience, but it needs smartening up
Meadowhall occasionally - like the shops, loathe the environment

Tinter-web for non-consumables (ie electronic stuff, dvd's, music).

Prefer (Woodseats) local butcher, baker, fish monger, grocer for consumables, but mostly end up at Morrison/Tesco/Sainsbury due to working Mon-Fri.

But if you had bought four you wouldn't have had to buy another one for 3 days saving you some dosh :D

Or you could have bought four and given me three

Are we in tune here?
Morrisions as far as I am aware have made their reputation on fresh food especially fresh veg.

Now Netto is a bit different, they are not too bad now, but when they first started trading in the UK their veg was very poor.
