We were staying a few blocks away, and needed a few items for dinner. We were traveling in December, and it was late and not many places were open due to the upcoming holidays. We picked up a few local beers and ciders, and some noshables to take to our room. Thank goodness this place was open because it was the only place in town open besides the liquor store! We were happy with our purchases!

It's not as bad as a Mace, which really wants to stitch you up! The ready meals are of good quality and it even has a walk in beer fridge! I would give it 4 stars, but must strongly protest at the cost of the birthday cards. They're not priced, so you take them to the cash desk kind of guessing what you would think they are worth. You would be wrong.... £4.00 for a basic birthday card? £4.00? Really? This smacks of a scam to stick it to the unfortunate sod who has left it to the last minute. We'll pay anything to get out of a fix right? Wrong. My local village shop came up with the goods for £1.10 I know this is only a few quid, but £4.00 for a birthday card. Not even a fancy one at that. Come on Co-op there's no need for this kind of thing!

I didn't quite understand and then one day, I saw it. Just a few yards from my dorm room. It is like a liquor, supermarket and wal-mart all condensed into a compact corner convenient store. The only thing was that they couldn't quite understand me when I asked for 'aluminum foil' because you have to say 'aluminium.' When I would run out of vodka, luncheon meat, gravy granules, tea and crumpets, frozen pizzas for 99 pence, or even fried chicken to get me through the cold, grueling days of studying, this Spar came to the rescue, everytime. I only have fond memories of this lifesaver. Oh yea, and they have instant ramen and siracha sauce too! What a relief!

SPAR is the largest convenience shop on campus and offers competitive prices on campus. Although…read morestill more expensive than supermarkets or other places in town, you are paying for the convenience. It offers a much wider range of goods than the comparable LUSU shops. This often means that I walk from the other end of campus just to get a particular brand or item that I can't buy in the nearer LUSU shop (aka Central Stores). I hear the SPAR baguettes are amazing, but I've yet to try them.
