Where do you do your weekly shop

[lizzmobile]

We shop once a month at the fantastic LEMBAS in Meersbrook and once a week at Beanies for fruit and veg. We save a fooooortune using Lemabs and our creative cooking skills are put to the test with the box scheme system from Beanies. Despise supermarkets and only ever go if absol nec.

Either 'Tesco' at Foots Cray, 'Sainsbury's' at Chislehurst or 'Sainsbury's' at Crayford. Depending upon where dad is in the world!

A 'Morrison's' near us opened in the late 1990s, and I didn't like their meat, so we switched back to 'Saisbury's'.

It tends to be Asda Handsworth mostly... (Sometimes find myself in the George dept, when all I went in for was bread... lol)

Then its Morrisons @ Catcliffe ... Usually on petrol days though!

Then if I'm just after a few bits, I tend to pop to Budgens in WestOne, or pop over to Tescos on West St...

 

I occasionally.. and I do mean occasionally... Go to the big tesco on Abbeydale road... I like it there... Nice layout, shame theres not enough clothes though! lol - I should go more often!

I shop at Lembas too.. great way to get organic/fairtrade/environmentally friendly products cheaply.

 

I also get veg from Banana Bobs and the odd thing from Waitrose on my way home from work (they do some specific things that no-one else does).. but for everything else I go to Sainsburys archer road cos they have the widest range of everything there.

 

Used to shop at Safeway then Tesco all the time but couldn't anymore cos once you get used to the range and quality in Sainburys its impossible to go back...

 

Its great for when you're feeling uninspired cos theres loads of posh random products to get you into cooking something totally different. And they have the best range of organic products of any super market if you ask me..

Oooh i'm really interested in Lembas and the other thing - box scheme? Please tell me more.

 

I usually shop at Asda (Handsworth) because it's the nearest place, pretty good value and a reasonable selection. Sometimes a little un-inspiring though.

 

I've done some shopping on-line and when I do, I use Tesco's.

Hels I've PM'd you re Lembas and Beanies.

I'm a Tesco queen me...

 

They even gave me extra clubcard points back on my gin they love me so much!

Do the weekly shop online with Sainsbury's, anything else pop to Tesco's on West St ( )

 

For special treats (i.e luxurious ready meals) we go to M+S or Waitrose...hmmm hungry now!

Can't vote! I no longer have a car, and thus no longer do a weekly shop.

 

I shop at Netto (just down the road from my house) - for essentials.....and when I know I can avoid the long queues at the check-out!

 

I often shop at Somerfield in the city centre, as it's dead handy when I'm in town.

 

Tonight I caught the bus to Woodseats, where I shopped at Tesco, then walked to Spar for a few things, and then walked up the hill to Morrisons to complete my shopping trip.

 

When I'm out and about in Arbourthorne or Heeley Green, I shop at the Co-op!

 

When staying with my partner in Hull, I shop at the nearby Sainsburys.

 

Only go to Waitrose 10 mins before closing time - to see what bargains can be had! Otherwise, it's too expensive for shopping.
