Which supermarkets do you avoid?
So if there was an X Supermarket on your doorstep and you had empty cupboards and needed some food desperately, you would still walk a mile or two to another supermarket.
And state why you avoid it/them.
Here's a list of British supermarkets for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_supermarket_chains_in_the_United_Kingdom

For me it's Tesco and yes I would/do.
I refuse to buy from Tesco because they're everywhere, so far in a lot of areas I go to they have completely destroyed business for small business and shops by shoving their tesco express shops everywhere.

ASDA. I find their slogan of a girl tapping her ass, saying "That's ASDA price" as extremely sexist.

Co-op. It's 5 minutes down the road yet I still walk a mile to both Tesco and Asda. For the better quality supermarket brand stuff, I walk 2-3 miles to Sainsburys! For peach ice tea, I go a mile further than Asda, all the way to Lidl! Anything to avoid Co-op. Overpriced bull**** my ****ing bum. Only when I get a job (which I imagine will occur when hell freezes over) will I be shopping there, but for now, I shall stick to anywhere else!

For me it's Tesco. But generally we only really shop at M&S and Sainsburys.
i avoid everywhere except waitrose
I deliberately avoid Lidl and Waitrose for totally different reasons.
Other then that I don't mind... hell my college used to be right next to a Morrison's and I got food there pretty regularly.

I don't really "avoid" any. I don't care as long as they sell food

Avoid Morrison's. Only because its the closest to me and I hate the area its in. I would rather walk an additional 10 minutes to Tesco or another 2 minutes on top of that to the Co-op.
I do occasionally go to farm foods though which is near the Morrison's
