Local for the Badcox area of town, this is a generic small all-purpose store selling groceries…read morefrozen and fresh, magazines and confectionary, with a small but select alcohol section and tobacco sales. Prices vary quite a lot. Basic foodstuffs such as canned and packet foods are the full whack, fresh fruit is expensive. But there are often cheap & cheeful bargains to be had in the beer, cider and wines section. Plus they do a nice little range of cakes, pastries and rolls at fair prices. They are also open 8 till late (10pm) so handy to pop out to if you're within walking distance for any emergency supplies. But not reccomended for a weekly shop as the prices are too high and the stock is limited to basics.

I have to give ASDA some credit here - they've managed to create a gigantic store on the edge of…read morethe town a long way from their competition, and they've made a big success of it. Shuffling around the aisles, it's not hard to see why. The place is very well-stocked with more than you'd expect to find here. Clothes? Sure - why not. An electronics section? Totes. DVDs and game? You bet your bottom dollar. DIY? Surely not - but yes. Camping equipment? It cannot be, but it is. Household utensils? What kind of place am I even in any more? ASDA Frome has a bit of everything and lots of what you'd expect. A fresh fish counter, a delicatessen, even a pizza-making section where you can custom-pick your design (and they're good pizzas, too!). Backing all this up are friendly, helpful staff and great prices. Loads of free on-site parking and open until 11pm every weekday. What a winner.

Asda in Frome has been open for a few years now, and it's been a massive success. This inexpensive…read moresuperstore is large and packed with everything you'd expect and need from a major retailer. Large car-park so seldom any queuing even on the busiest of days, and cashpoints for the terminally broke! The store iteslef covers clothes for women, men, and younger kids (not for teenage boys though, please note). The bakery turns out wonderful loaves, the wine section is extensive, and the rest is perfect for an all-in weekly shop. The aisles are wide and so you don't get trolley snarl-ups (often!). The staff are unfailingly helpful, although it's sometimes hard to catch one standing still long enough to ask a question of! But they will always go the extra mile to check if there is extra stock out back, so you feel valued. Prices are good all across the board, and their Own Brand and Value items make for good savings. The only (small) criticism is the location, or rather to lack of public transport to get to it. Right out on the edge of town is fine for driving but if you don't have your own transport then it can be expensive to get a cab there and back (which you will certainly need for a weekly shop). Although there is a bus service that runs to and from the store from the market place it's not regular enough to be really convenient (or memorable - and nobody wants to sit around the town centre for up to an hour waiting for a bus). But all that aside, it's a great store for getting everything under one roof if you need items of kids clothing and shoes as well as gifts and/or electrical and household goods when you do a big weekly foodshop. Note that there is a self-service petrol station next to the supermarket so you can even fill up your tank for a competitive amount as well.

Tesco in Ferndown is a very large store for a small town. They have a good range of clothes and…read moreelectricals as well as the food section of the store. Tesco prices are very competitive when you go in against other supermarkets. They don't have a cafe in this store which is a shame but there are plenty of cafe's in town so perhaps this is why. I always find the staff to be helpful and take you to where you need to find. The toilets in Tesco are wierdly placed at the end of the store, but they are often out of order which is a shame as it always seems to be when I need them. The car park is large and over two levels in Tesco. I woud advise parking upstairs when weather permits as downstairs gets very busy as parking is difficult to find.

Definately a bargain store for all your basics!…read more A roomy free car park and a large bright store. As anyone who has shopped at a Lidl knows, many of the brand names are German or European, but don't let the low prices fool you These are quality foodstuffs, and total value for money. You can stock up on everything you need by way of store-cupboard basics and kitchen basics, for sometimes nearly half the price that you'd pay in the more up-market stores. The chocolate and candy section is pure temptation. Boxes of Belgian pralines and bars of dark bitter chocolate.. Mmmmmmmm There is a small fresh produce selection as well, again very inexpensive, and I find they tend to stay fresh a whole lot longer than other supermarket fruit and veg. Their alcohol section is small but again the prices are highly competitive and there are real bargains to be had, with decent, drinkable wines. Note that there is no tobacco section so you can't pick up a packet of ciggies there! It's well worth a visit, even if you aren't in need of a bargain trolley dash! So many of the items have become family favourites now, it's definately one of my must-visit shops for larger bulk buys. In fact, the only reason it doesn't get five stars is that there are never very many staff around, and although you might get lucky and breeze through a checkout quickly, it's just as likely you'll be stuck behind a long queue. People do tend to do full-trolley shops, and really it needs more than just two checkouts open in busy times like this. The staff themselves have always been friendly and helpful, and it's not their fault that they're understaffed. Plus the checkout desks themselves are small and you have to scrabble to put your shopping away whlst it piles up and balances precariously on the thin ledge. There are never any 'packers' as with some of the larger stores. But these are just minor grumbles weighed against the fantastic savings and excellent quality and surprising variety of items to be had.

Marks and Sparks isn't a cheap option, and doesn't really pretend to be. From ready-prepared meals, chilled foods and frozen foods to store-cupboard items, candies, biscuits and luxury foodstuffs, there is a mouth-watering selection. There is a small bakery section for freshly-baked pastries and tartlets, along with speciality breads and rolls. Towards the back of the store there is a compact but useful clothing section, mainly lingerie and basic key separates and frocks for ladies with some basics mens clothing too. This sits next to a small giftware and toiletries area. A store to visit when you can afford to pamper yourself. Only a short walk off the main market place, and situated right next to a car park, so convenient for all shoppers.

It was a very nice surprise as it was a bit colder than I had anticipated and did not have any warm pajamas! As a whole, the store was easy to navigate and made sense to me, a visitor and an American. Prices were excellent! However, I was not informed how to sign up for a saver's card - which I would have if it was free (like grocery stores in the US). Perhaps I'm a bit odd in that I really do enjoy a trip to the local grocery in new places.

Small things like, assistance to the car and the tokens for charities which you receive when purchasing your goods all speak of creative planning. Well done. Global Nomad.
