When Im at my mums in London she gives me a £25 budget a week and its normally at M&S as thats the closest big store, we do have a small Tesco literally round the corner but thats petrol station and I dont like Tesco that much anymore, I use to like them! Also Waitrose a lot, my mum loves them.
And Ocado quite often!
I like M&S new food range, they do like mozzarella sticks, Mac and Cheese bites and ham and cheese toasties! Its also good as there sweet range isn't huge which means I dont get much chocolate!
When I'm at my dads its Asda and thats the really big one in Grantham, its literally huge! I really like it but theres so much nice stuff and I would get carried away! Like there was so many chocolate stuff I've never seen before from big brands!
Where do you shop? :)

Tesco if I do actual shopping
Sainsburys if online, as you can sign up with a new email each time and get 15 quid off a 70 quid shop :laugh: I don't count it as stealing or anything as its their own systems that are dumb as **** (eg all details are exactly the same, but a new email gives the discount again...), and the delivery drivers laugh when they come all the time for a 'new customer' :D

If it's online: ASDA.
If I'm out, anywhere tbh. Usually ASDA, Sainsburys or the Co-Op though.

I do my food shopping at Tesco's every Friday. However, I buy my fruit and vegetables from street markets, as they're cheaper and much more fresh than the ones from supermarkets.
However, if I'm out and about and I'm hungry, I will pop to whichever one is closest and grab something to eat from there. M&S has some great stuff. But I don't go there much.

I live in North-West London, and I've literally never seen a local Morrison's branch nor ever been to one. I think the closest one to me is in Camden or something, which is about 30 minutes away from where I live.

There's quite a few Sainsbury's around me. One in Golders Green, and a bigger branch in West Hendon. There's also an Asda branch in Colindale (5 minute drive from Sainsburys). But all those three, despite being quite close to me are still a long way when I have a big Tesco branch about a 5 minute drive from where I live.

My parents usually buy from Morrisons because it's local. For big shopping, usually tesco or asda.

no lol, I was at my dads which is in east midlands, yeah had lightning and thunder here.
With Morsions its really odd theres like 2 super small ones in enfield town within the space of 200m, don't live far from enfield town but more nearer Plamers Green and Southgate/hampsted.
I guess maybe there seeing what the market is like for them in London (testing) but its odd.

I really like Morisions, it's where my dad use to shop in town but the car park is very small and its in a shopping centre although its a big one! Great stuff! But the Asda is huge and car park is massive.

my mum goes to waitrose which is 5 mins away but theres this really old pub called the Green Dragon - very famous apparently (BB6 might have heard of it) and there closed it down (loads of petition to keep it open) and its like 1 min walk from me and its being turned into a waitrose, my mum is over the moon lmao.

Tesco about five times out of ten with my mum. The other times she either goes to ASDA, Lidl or Booths. (She uses M&S but it's not a supermarket type of shop in the Wigan one it's just more of a little one where you got to get bits of things rather than do a full shop) I'm usually allowed around a fiver or a tenner each time we go shopping to spend on some things I want (Cereal, crisp etc)

We've never done it ourselves my mum prefers actually going out and looking at the things she's buying etc she's weird like that :joker:

The market, the local butchers, the local farm shop and Asda or Carrefour depending on whether we are in France or England.
