Which supermarkets do you avoid?

I avoid any 'local' and 'metro' stores. Apart from that I don't really care, just happened to have never visited Aldi and Morrisons as there are none near to me.

Aldi, Morrisons, Netto (if they're still going). I dunno, they just look dodgy, probably because I haven't grown up going shopping there with my dad lol

Ha, yeah that would be cooler than shoplifting anyway. :smile:

Hope you don't spend too many years banned, it would be harsh if you weren't allowed to re-enter a Tesco for the rest of your life. Although personally I could cope with that. :rolleyes:

meh, they don't even recognise me so it's cool :cool:

Aldi also, don't like the name....

Does poundland count as a supermarket.

It's so embarrassing when my mum rings me up when I'm out to say get some food from poundland. I once was walking into poundland but my friend across the road saw me and laughed at me when he saw me at school.

I must admit though, Poundland do some good deals.

What is particularly worth going into Poundland for? I've noticed that they aren't always necessarily the cheapest - I wanted some Duracell batteries and I compared those in Poundland with Wilkinson and a couple of supermarkets - they were sold in smaller packs in Poundland, so it was a little deceptive, but overall Wilkinson were cheaper.

I've also heard that some of the branded goods sold through pound stores are substandard rejects from manufacturers, don't know how true this is.

What does it smell of? :rolleyes:

The great unwashed :tongue:

OP-No, I try and avoid Waitrose and M&S as they're steep and as a student it's not ideal but they're the two closest and I'm not going to trek an extra mile to Sainsbury's for one or two things.

Always go to Tesco as it's the only one around.

To be honest I would always to the closest one as I hardly ever by supermarket brand items so the products are the same everywhere really.
