    I go to Aldi for the fruit and veg, free range chicken and eggs and then head to Sainsbury's for everything else. I love Sainsbugs Basics range......far nicer than Tesco's.
    I must stress I do this child free, no way I'd drag kids to one supermarket let alone 2

    We are Tesco shoppers and big fans of the Tesco Value range. Taske good and the price is good too.

    We buy all our fruit from the local market and any veg thats a good price too.

    I go to Tesco as there's one in our small town.
    (we also use it for petrol and have had some good free days out from the vouchers recently)

    OUr Morrisons is about 20 mins away and we do now and again go there.

    I should make the effort to use the fuit and veg stall on the market - but its easier to just get it from Tesco!

    Love Iceland for filling up the freezers,
    Asda for main grocery shop, go to Tesco once every 4-6 weeks for things I can't get anywhere else
    Most fresh stuff and cleaning things from Lidl- oh works there so I have my own personal shopper!

    Sainsburys for the weekly shop. We go to the local butchers and bakery for meat and bread and Tesco or Coop if there's anything we've run out of before the weekly shop. Hx

    We get Tesco or Sainsburys home delivery.

    I like some of the things from Asda, but its about half hour away and I have had so many problems with their delivery, its not the stressless option

    We go to Iceland about once a month for bits and use Lidls too, especially their offers

    I find ASDA delivery the worst

    I do Iceland about once a month if the freezer gets low

    After 3 deliveries that have entailed long phone calls to sort out missing or squashed items, they have lost a customer and we may go over now and again as we like browsing round the huge superstore, but dont tell them that

    my last (ever!) delivery did not turn up as they couldn't find me - no sat nav or company phone - they are expected to use their own phones. loads of phone calls to goodness knows where call centre and it came next day - then found out loads was missing more calls and I got my delivery fee refunded and free next time - what next time

    They lost me too and I am telling all my friends to avoid them

    I go to store sometimes but will never use for online shopping
