He had a cheese and ham panini and he said it was not what he expected. There was a small slice of ham with very little cheese. it was tasteless I recommend. There was no salad or crisps at the side and they cost £4.25 each.

Really big supermarket with food, toiletries and a clothing and electrical section upstairs. It…read morealso has a currency exchange and stationary isles which sell cards. This is a very busy store that is open 24 hours but it has lots of parking. They also provide electric scooters for disabled or older customers. Always seem to have a good selection of food and the staff are always helpful and willing to go and check for things. Sometimes however it gets overly busy and it is really hard to do your shopping and it can take forever. This is one of the stores that offer internet shopping so if you do not feel like navigating the queues then you can stay at home and shop on the internet. This Tesco also has a Krispy Kreme display which is an added bonus.

On a philosophical level, I have mixed views about whether a shop like Tescos has a place in a…read morevillage such as Brockenhurst, but being a complete hypocrite, I buy stuff from here most days! On a practical note, I also have mixed views about this place; on the plus side, the long opening hours are a godsend when I've run out of something, the staff are generally friendly and helpful, the product range is excellent and the prices are reasonable. My main criticism of this shop is that they are a bit lax when it comes to sell by dates, and I have learned to check the dates on stuff carefully before putting things in my basket.

Like most of the other One Stop shops it is open from 6am until 10.30pm and is very handy for picking up those forgotten items.There are often bargains to be had during the morning as the fresh fruit and vegetables, sandwiches etc that are about to expire are greatly reduced. They also have offers on a good range of products for a week at a time. They have a small area for cards and magazines, alcohol and household products. They also have a small selection of frozen and refrigerated items. There is often a seasonal display at the front of the shop, which include; flowers for Valentines, Easter eggs, Christmas cards, etc.

I have recently discovered this brilliant budget shopping store in Winton. I had always thought…read morethat the quality of food would be poor because the prices are so low but how wrong I was. I have now started to do my weekly shop here and can get almost everything I need. They even do common brands as well as there own. The fruit and veg is fresh and excellent quality and so it the meat and ham. I have tried out many new things and have been very pleased with everything I have bought. You must remember your own bags though because you have to pay for theirs and the checkouts are pretty small and there is no space to pack your shopping. The best thing is that you are in and out in such a small time and have everything you need. Highly recommend.

Today i had yet another reason to root for lidl, esp this branch. I shopped at the branch , and inadvertently left behind a paid for food item, {price 3 pounds} behind on the self-service counter. Several hours later, i popped in to ask if it had been handed in. With a minimum of fuss, the store gave me a complimentary replacement. At a high end supermarket, i would have expected this, but at a budget-supermarket it was a pleasant surprise! Well, it prompted me to do this review.
