Advantages: Cheap, good quality products

Disadvantages: Small store so can not find some things you may need

I have shopped at Nettos whenever I can for quite a while now as you can always find some great cupboard fillers for about half the price you would pay anywhere else.
You always receive great service on the checkouts and staff are always willing to help even if they are busy or half way through a job.
I hadn't been to Nettos for a while so I pursuaded my mum to take me in the car as we don't have a more localised one.
The store itself you can not miss, being placed in a large yellow painted building with a massive 'Nettos' sign in black.
There is a small parking area but it is free to park and should fit around 20 cars altogether.
The trolleys at ours are placed outside and you need you put a pound in to use it, you do get the pound back once you place the trolley back.
You go through 2 sets of electric doors into the shop itself, which for a smaller shop is rather spacious. There is enough rooms in the aisles so if someone has a trolley or pram people can still pass them. Usually the aisles are not wide enough for 2 trolleys are there are often randomly placed items that are on offer within the aisle so this can limit space in parts of the store.
The shop only has 4 aisles put it is packed with products. The first aisle has shelves on one side and boxes upon boxes of products on the other.
There is always a large selection of products for such a small amount of space and I tend to bulk buy products that are not likely to 'go off' any time soon. These products include 12p packets of noodles and 56p bottles of 2ltr dilute drink. There is also fruit and vegetables to choose from as well as fridge and freezer items.
Everytime I go I treat myself by buying a couple of their 29p chocolate and cream desserts, which I love.
When you get to the tills you need to buy carrier bags, they are only a few pence depending on strength and size but this is great for us as it encourages us to remember to take some with us and re-use the bags we have.
All in all we bought 4 large bags worth of stuff and it only came to just over £20, that would have cost us double at the big supermarkets.
The downside is having to drive to Nettos but it still weighs out that we saved more as it is a 5 minute drive away so we didn't spend £20 on petrol just for that journey!
I would highly reccommend anyone to shop at Nettos and bulk buy things to fill up the cupboards with so you don't have to go as often if you have to drive their.

Summary: Nettos is great for bulk buying cheap products
