Lidl had stock of some of my fav Belgian beers recently.
Corsondonk, Piraat & Guoden Carlous. That's the only time I shop there though. They often get little gems like that in.
I'm a Sainsbury's (closest to me) & Waitrose shopper usually. |

I agree totally . I must admit I don't get Waitrose though , grossly expensive , is it a status thing ??  |

It's very good quality.
The brand's are price matched. Heinz, Walkers etc |

For us it's a mixture of Aldis, Farmfoods, Co-op and Morrisons, depending on whether it's a big shop to stock the freezer and cupboards (first 2 and Morrison's) or just popping in for something (local small co-op). |

There and to the left a bit |
Out of necessity Tesco is where most of our shopping is done - mainly because it's the only decent sized supermarket in town.
Do often go further afield to Lidl/Aldi as well as all the others.
Don't understand the snobbery about Aldi/Lidl though - often their stuff is better quality than Tesco own brand - had a Xmas turkey from one of them a few years ago and not only was it markedly cheaper than Tesco but was nicer too!! |

I usually get about £30 back from Tesco by the time Christmas comes.
It's a great little bonus.
This year I will be getting about £15 from Morrisons aswell.
I can make that stretch a long way on food between Christmas and New Year.

Mostly Tesco as it has everything I need, is close and I like the self scan thing so I don’t need to interact with anyone
Sometimes Lidl/Aldi as they are also close and good value, but there’s always things I can’t get so have to still pop elsewhere which is annoying.
Pop to Farmfoods and Iceland sometimes too to stock up on frozen veg and meat as they have some good deals.
Do like Asda but too far away to go regularly and I always buy more so spend more! Morrison’s I don’t mind now and again just for a change, good meat offerings there too.

I mainly shop in tesco as its at the end of my road. But i love having a nose in them all when i can. There are certain things in some shops i prefer to other shops, such as asda do different fizzy drinks, waitrose does the most amazing chargrilled artichokes and some amazing healthy foods. Etc |

For my main shop I go to Aldi but might try the new Lidl when it opens but only because they are having a bakery.
I go to Sainsbury's for the few thing I can't get in Aldi and m&s when I'm feeling frivolous!! (Rarely!!) |
