We were given 15 minutes to shop at the Tesco in York for alcohol. We went in and made our way to…read morethe aisle. I didn't have time to browse but the place was gigantic. I can see why they are one of the biggest grocery chains in the UK. The alcohol aisle boasted beers, spirits, and wines from different parts of the world. The prices seemed reasonable so I bought some canned mixed drinks since we weren't supposed to bring glass into the New Years Eve party in Edinburgh. The registers are plentiful and I wasn't carded. Granted the drinking age is 18, so there was nothing to worry about. Our tour manager later confessed that it was fun to watch us all scramble and that 15 minutes was an unreasonable amount of time for us to shop. Noted. Thanks a lot.

This Tesco store is generally well laid out. It has a reasonably sized clothing department upstairs…read morewhich has some great clothes at fantastic prices, particularly shoes and kids clothes. In the main part of the store, as well as the main food and drink aisles, there are departments for books and magazines, homeware, kitchen appliances and other electrical equipment and seasonal sales. If you can get in at the right time, you can pick up some good bargains, however, it takes a while to work out what the special times of the day are! Don't park in the carpark and go to the college as you'll be fined £75!

If you have ever watched a TV, especially around Christmas time, it is very likely you will have seen the advert. Fake snow, big cakes, Denise Van Outen or 'that bloke from Top Gear' stroll around Morrisons looking glossy whilst their signature Take That tune blasts out in the background. If not you will probably have seen one of their 420 stores throughout the UK. They are big, garish and bright yellow. That's the one. I shop in the Morrisons in the city centre on occasion, due to their very low prices and the fact that they stock pretty much everything. But recently I visited the Hunslet branch. The difference, they have a cafe! I was starving. Having had no breakfast whatsoever, my stomach was grumbling like a grumpy old man who had lost his slippers. Food was needed fast. They had a selection of sandwiches, but they were cut into triangles and laid onto cling film covered plates with a handful of crisps and salad. Fair enough, but odd as I expected the usual packaged sarnie. They were also quite sweaty looking, with condensation on the inside of the cling film. Not very enticing. So, I thought, hot food. YUM. But I couldn't see a menu. This is how hot food works. 1. Go to counter one with a display of pictures of various breakfast type hot food. (Sausages, beans, bacon, eggs, toast etc) 2. Choose what you want and tell the lady, she then gives you a green plastic disk with your number on it. (I chose scrambled eggs on toast) 3. Go past coffee machine, grab coffee if required. 4. Go to till, hand second lady green plastic disk with number on, pay and receive a red plastic disk with number on. 5. Find a table, put red plastic disk in the flag-post-thing and await your food. Right. Done. Sip coffee. Extremely milky with hardly any actual coffee in it, cue sleepy effect instead of caffeine buzz required. Bummer. The food arrives within five minutes. Rubbery egg, soggy toast and tasteless tomatoes. Double bummer. Satisfaction: None Wallet: down £3.80

Anyway, my friend and I had a full english breakfast from here and like Alexandra said...rubbery eggs, soggy toast, really unusually hard stale beans....it just wasn't nice.

I certainly wouldn't have noticed it would it not have been for a job interview being held here, and when my former manager said "Let's go to Browns for a coffee and a chat!" I did not think she meant this one! At first glance I thought its location would reflect in its quality - not so good. Wrong. It was totally lovely. All their sandwiches are handmade in front of you, with far more variety than at, say Caffe Nero, with fresh ingredients and it takes the staff no time to serve you. I've always had a good experience with staff who seem pleasant enough, but not necessarily over-enthused. Fillings range from egg mayo, tuna crunch, a variety of chicken styles, cheeses and so on. Their coffees and teas are a little more humble, but cheap and so I'm certainly not complaining. The other bonus is that I've always managed to grab a seat outside - although inside it is a little limited. Browns is now a regular coffee stop of mine when I'm in town, even if it's to while away a bit of time with a good book and one of their drinks, it's a pleasant experience all round.

The menu remains as I recall, really decent and the place always feels clean and tidy. Never the most friendly place tbh, almost frosty and not far from rude, but hey I love a bargain so hey ho)

The range of foods on offer is good - my own favourites are the fabulous date and walnut/cheese and walnut breads and the wonderful lemon smoked mackerel on the fish counter. Very very good, but then every supermarket has its specialities. What I also go to Morrisons for are the low prices, and although not across the board, I would say on average it is the most economical supermarket if you are willing to fill half your trolley with items from their value range. (As most people are, of late!) Also they have a good stock of cardboard boxes readily available, often very handy to have around and helpful for transporting your groceries!

There are so many places to get what you need for a week, from posh to not so posh. But still i go to Morrison's. That annoying advert on TV tells us that ASDA is cheaper.

I was brought up in a Morrison's family, and a Morrison's man i shall remain! The only reason that it doesn't have 5 stars is as mentioned above, it looks like it was erected in the 1970's and really could do with the bit of a spruce up. The deli counter is excellent and I'm now even on first name terms with some of the staff there. What more could you want... oh yeah, I already went through that didnt I?

It is a pretty average Sainsbury's Local store, nothing too special other than the good location and the store being in a visually pleasing old building. It is only a small store, so don't expect to find much other than essentials, I do find the "Hot Food" counter to be a little pointless, as it always seems to be mostly empty. There's a small selection of to-go food and drink, meats, confectionery and alcohol. There are a couple of better, larger stores nearby, but still, a solid store that you don't really have to go out of your way for if you're shopping in Leeds. 3*

And I don't like how the vegetables are stored in those big green boxes. It's tricksy. I went there today because I was at the Homebase next door, and was really disappointed because all I wanted was some Golden Syrup Oats So Simple, and they had sold out! The whole cereal aisle looked like a tornado had hit it. The guy at the checkout was either on day release or a bit of a stoner (will I get in trouble for saying that? Hope not). Really slow, half asleep, and even though I'd put a 'bag for life' on top of all my shopping so he could scan it through first and then I could actually pack my shopping, he decided to move it to the back of my shopping instead. He then looked at me like I was a bit mental and said in a really pitying tone 'do you need some bags then?'. No thanks Mr Stoner, I would like the bag I just gave you please. That would be awesome.

It's a good store, nothing particularly special but the staff all seem to be fairly helpful, particularly if you have young children with you, they seem to understand the pressure you can sometimes be under. The clothing section is fab, especially for children, although there is about 80% girls clothes, 20% boys, but that's always the way. Their prices are really great, especially as my little one seems to go into the next size week by week. The fish counter is lovely and the fish monger with the white beard is very helpful, although they're all ok. The cafe upstairs is nice but you need to use the lift to get up there and when it's out of order and you have your buggy with you and your shopping and you just want to go for a wee or change your baby it's a bit of a trek with an assistant to use the staff utility lift, but they do let you. The worst thing about the store is the horrendous parking, as with all sainsbury's everywhere in my experience. The spaces are far too narrow, as are the roadways between the parking, makes reversing (which I am good at before you ask) very tight, brilliant when you've got a wriggling baby to distract you as well. Handy having homebase next door too, it's walkable if you don't have to carry too much back to the car.
