Mainly Tesco and Marks and Spencer as both very near. Tend to do big shop in Tesco they use M and S for top ups and treats as it's so much smaller and I can get in and out more quickly. Sometimes also do main shop at Aldi but it is a little further away so not often.

I go to Tesco each week for my big shop, there's a petrol station, pharmacy and a large car park with recycling. The prices are reasonable and the fruit and veg are good.

Mainly M&S and Waitrose but do use Tesco for branded items sold in Waitrose but cheaper in Tesco.
I'm too far from Lidl and Aldi and would never use Iceland.
I prefer fresh not pre frozen food and their shops look cheap.
Have used Aldi online and the goods I've bought are excellent quality and value.
I look forward to M&S food deliveries.
Use farm shops and markets too.

Which ever one will deliver to me

I have the opposite Cherrycezzy.
If i buy Sainsburys fruit and veg it lasts alot longer than Asdas/lidle and Tesco`s.
As do the bread.

Sainsbury's weekly delivery plus Waitrose and M&S browsing when we are out and about. This is pre lockdown days. sad

I am nearest Sains and have done 'click and collect' recently but have also been to Morrisons, it's not quite as busy. Also have on occasions got a delivery from Waitrose which I was impressed with but can't get a delivery from them for love nor money, shame as I was impressed with their choices. However what I am really missing is the butcher I like to shop at which is around 14 miles away and just can't obviously justify that trip at the moment. Making do with M & S too.

Waitrose for all food and occasionally Aldi to stock up on washing powder, cleaning products, dishwasher etc.

Would never shop in Sainsbury ,local one fined for rat faeces in the shop , or Tesco which came bottom for cleanliness in the last town I lived in .

I like the quality of Waitrose and the size of Waitrose & Aldi shops . I can’t be bothered with the huge superstores . Customer service in Waitrose is second to none and Aldi staff are helpful and hardworking from what I can see.

Sainsbury as we do not have a Waitrose. Mostly Ocado on line though especially as they are giving me a weekly slot.

Pittcity Mon 20-Apr-20 14:09:09

Lidl. It's a two minute walk from home.

Main shop between Morrison's (petrol station handy) and Aldi. Agree with "Pernilla Vanilla" about Aldi's wine. They are doing a great Spanish Garnacha just now for £5 which would be around £7/8 anywhere else.

Waitrose is the main supermarket in our small town, so we buy there a great deal but usually essentials and offers. For other shops we have to drive to Sainsbury's or Tescos. Do a bit in Aldi but our shop is a tatty one.

I shop twice a week, main shop Asda and top up Tesco as it's nearer.
We sometimes have a browse in Aldi. Sainsbury's is too far and I've no idea where the nearest Waitrose is.

Waitrose for us.

maddyone Mon 20-Apr-20 13:59:24

We’re shopping at Asda now, it’s the only shop we could get a Click and Collect at.

shysal Mon 20-Apr-20 13:58:01

Used to shop weekly at Asda, but only because it is local, with an occasional visit to M&S or Lidl.

EllanVannin Mon 20-Apr-20 13:56:54

Asda for me, M&S too for fruit, veg and salads.

maddyone Mon 20-Apr-20 13:46:11

Normally weekly at Waitrose and a monthly visit to Lidl, with some random shops at M+S.

PernillaVanilla Mon 20-Apr-20 13:41:25

Aldi and Waitrose 50/50. Basics such as tinned stuff, jam, rice, pasta at Aldi, with a couple of bottles of really good inexpensive wine (their champagne is fantastic), Then off to Waitrose for the more unusual stuff. This way means I can shop very well for Tesco level overall prices.

Missfoodlove Mon 20-Apr-20 13:40:43

I’m a Waitrose girl but get fruit and veg from the local market and meat from the butcher etc.
I do get a few things from Lidl, mainly their big tubs of Greek natural yoghurt. ?

CherryCezzy Mon 20-Apr-20 13:35:43

We both like Sainsbury's but prefer Asda for fruit and veg'. I don't know about what others think about Sainsbury's fruit and veg' but we find it does stay fresh for long, maybe it's just the Sainsbury's in our area?

Charleygirl5 Mon 20-Apr-20 13:34:06

Waitrose is my nearest but I like Lidl and Aldi also. Aldi has really good wine.

timetogo2016 Mon 20-Apr-20 13:29:59

I am a Sainsbury`s shopper but my dh prefers Tesco/Aldi/Asda.
But if theres an offer on anywhere i will be in the queue.

TrendyNannie6 Mon 20-Apr-20 13:26:22

This is a before lockdown question, Are you a Sainsbury’s Tesco’s Waitrose etc etc person , or are you like I was preferring to go here , there and everywhere,
