Are Supermarkets the modern woman's Valium? Some months ago, I was meandering through the chilled foods section of Sainsbury's when I bumped into someone I knew vaguely through work. We did the usual thing of exchanging gushing hellos while furtively checking out each others trolleys. I felt ok about mine. I'd only ...  Read the complete review

Supermarkets and foodhalls are the main places where I would say people in Western societies do their shopping. The main advantage is convenience - everything is generally all under one roof and there are pretty much all the essential products you need on offer. However, there are also a lot of disadvantagers to supermarkets - for example the ...  Read the complete review

I’ve moved twice in the past two years. Each time I move I have to find new places to do my regular shopping, and places I can go in emergencies. I have managed to shop in almost every chain of supermarket available to me in Devon and Cornwall, with a variety of success. I’ll share my experiences with you, from least ...  Read the complete review

Before I begin I would just like to state for the record that I am writing this opinion most sincerely in the hope that my problem can receive some wider recognition. Most people have a particular vice or some other affliction that eats away at their very soul. For some it's gambling, whilst for others it just happens to be alcohol or ...  Read the complete review

Most supermarket now ...  Read the complete review

The humble supermarket is not necessarily the first place you think of if you want to save some money. However, I have a few tips which may knock down the average bill or a least show that the best bargains aren't always that obvious... Everyone is familier with the buy-one-get-one-free offers that are rife in every supermarket. Of ...  Read the complete review

Working in a supermarket I get to listen to the customers moan all day about what is wrong with the store and how bad things really are. If you walk into any supermarket I am sure you can see it going on, nowhere more so than at the customer service desk. Half of them are utter rubbish or requests that simply aren't feasable - others are ...  Read the complete review

Like everyone else I want to get value for money. I don't tend to be faithful to one supermarket and tend to shop wherever I feel I am getting value for money. WHY ASDA vs TESCO? In my household we had a bit of a discussion (sometimes heated) about which supermarket offered the best value for money. With Tesco just round the ...  Read the complete review

Right for pure arguments sake l am going to put two things together that all of us do. One: we go to the pubs or clubs to socialise, drink and be merry :o) Two: we all have to eat in order to carry on with the drinking :o) Where is this leading? Well l have been reading other peoples opinions on organic foods and every time ...  Read the complete review

Like most people I usually do the weekly shop at one of the big supermarkets, and I generally don’t give too much thought to the food I buy. I have tended to take the view that the big supermarkets have pretty high standards and so we should not have to worry about the wholesomeness of their food. But that is really a naïve attitude, and ...  Read the complete review

After completing a ‘shopping survey’ for a leading market research company I was categorized as a ‘unpredictable consumer’, apparently the sort of shopper supermarket giants don’t like very much. Which I have to say pleased me enormously. For I make no secret of the fact that I detest ALL ...  Read the complete review

We are frequently told that ?competition? in the retail sector has never been so fierce and that the Big Four (Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda, or Safeway) are not making as much money as they used to. Whilst the Big Four plead ?poverty?, Are we meant to feel sympathetic towards these corporations that have been blatantly robbing us blind for so many ...  Read the complete review

I am a regular Sainsburys shopper, mainly because I find that for the items that I buy every week they offer the best prices and secondly I like their range, particularly the organics. I was quite surprised recently to see that they had introduced a new range “Taste The Difference”. My store had little or no hype about it so I ...  Read the complete review

Having only two supermarkets in our small town, others 7 miles away, we dont have that much choice but to go to Alldays even though it is quite expensive especially when compared to Tescos. But have you ever heard of a shop doing what Alldays started doing from 1st November they do not accept cheques from anyone. No, I dont mean cheques with ...  Read the complete review

I hear what people say about the future being all supermarkets and internet ordering, and I know that people lament the fact that the high street is increasingly being marginalised by the out of town stuff. But am I the only person who really doesn't think that the end of the small store is not the tragedy that many seem to claim? I ...  Read the complete review

I work as a cashier in a branch of a large chain of supermarkets. I spent 7.5hours, 4 days a week sitting on a till serving one cusromer after another.Some people are rude,some are really nice but generally speaking people seem to think that those working a checkout in a supermarket are brainless and talk to us accordingly. Most of us are in ...  Read the complete review

I actually work in a supermarket, I won't say which company I'm with, but we are struggling. The supermarket trade is now unbelievably competitive, and in 5 years time there will be very few companies left to cater for your basic shopping needs, eventually the only choice will be to go to a huge out of town site, or pay a fortune at a ...  Read the complete review
