Makes sense - the Co op is only ever a "it's the nearest one to me and I need something desperately" store anyway. Too overpriced and not much choice for a main shop.

Shaun
are you able to pop in when they reduce food?

I went in one
a massive long Square Fresh Spanish Meat
Pizza top of the Range £5:00

It was reduced to 2:49 , half price , use by that day.
I had it the day after
It was Top notch food
I added Fresh £1 Morrison's House Salad


A Mega Meal

Pretty much

I use it when I'm at work because it's right next door, but to put it into perspective a meal deal is £3.25 at the Co-Op whereas it's £3 in Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's.

Sainsburys is my favourite. Nice supermarket with good food. Aldi is great value though we sometimes get our fruit and veg in there. R.

Yeah it's only a few roads away so sometimes they'll have the reduced bakery stuff, and a small chilled section. It's only a small store (used to be a pub) though so the choice is especially limited Handy with their opening times as well but then most supermarkets are now staying open until 10pm like these do.
