Iceland

Iceland is a great shop, no doubt about it. With great offers and multiple bargains, and they are well known for they're £1 offers mostly on frozen foods. However iceland isn't the biggest shop in town and is being bullied out of it's strong position in the market by the likes of Tesco's and Asda. I enjoy shopping at my local iceland and even though the prices aren't the cheapest, they are extremely good value. Also I have noticed that iceland staff are much more helpful and friendly than staff at let's say Asda. Who are continually rude and seem to respond to grunts. The staff at iceland direct you to where you should go and are only too happy ...  Read the complete review

We go to Iceland sometimes but only buy the branded stuff because there own brand food is always proper fatty and leaves loads of oil on the baking tray. The prices are quite cheap but not as good as in Cooltrader and I always go there first because they quite often have the Iceland brand food in there loads cheaper than Iceland themselves charge for it. They sell mostly frozen food but have also got some fresh stuff like fruit and veg and bread and quite a lot of different tinned food and stuff like pasta and rice. The prices on these things are cheaper than in the supermarket but you have to watch the best before dates on the bread and crumpets and stuff ...  Read the complete review

Last month a new Iceland opened in my town on the site of the failed Woolworths store. I have never before shopped in an Iceland store so was interested to see what they had on offer and how they compared with other supermarkets. Before I tell you about the store and my experiences of shopping there here is a bit of background information on the company. Iceland began trading in 1970 in Oswestry, Shopshire. I find in ironic that the company was originally set up by a group of Woolworths employees who each put £30 into the new business. When there employer, Woolworths discovered that their employees had a second job they were all sacked! Iceland has now ...  Read the complete review

Iceland is a supermarket found right across the UK and they even have stores across Europe too such as in Spain right up the Costa Del Sol and Costa Blanca coasts. They're excellent as they sell a wide range of goods and the prices are clearly labeled, and usually quite good value too. The stores have a red background outside with a bold white 'Iceland' logo. The supermarkets are very well organised and easy to walk around as there are freezers along the sides and in neat lines with plenty of room to walk inbetween them with baskets or trolleys. There is usually a section with odd bits and bobs for household use including random air circulators, parking ...  Read the complete review

Although the town I live in is quite small, we are blessed with almost all the big supermarket chains, some of which I use more often than others. Icelands is one of those supermarkets, and the one I use to stock up my freezer. My local store is situated in a retail park a few minutes from Clacton town centre and a handy 5 minute walk from my home. Being on a retail park there's plenty of free parking with a bus stop literally a minutes walk from the entrance. While I have used other branches I'm going to focus on this particular store as it's the one I've used most recently. I don't use Icelands daily or even weekly, in fact I tend to go there about once a ...  Read the complete review
