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!

Although it's mainly a small supermarket for the local people, it's worth knowing about if you're in the area, as it's one of the cheapest places you'll find for your groceries and bits and pieces. For a small store, they're also surprisingly good at stocking some of the more unusual brands. Plus, you can rummage through bins full of cheap CDs and DVDs, where there's the occasional bargain.

Located on Piccadilly in the centre of York, this is a typical branch of Sainsbury's Local, it is…read moreclean and fairly modern. I visited here to pick up some essentials such as milk to pick up some essentials on my way back to the Doubletree by Hilton York, where I was spending the evening. The store is pretty much your average Sainsbury's convenience store, the selection is okay but not excellent and it is open until 11 pm every day which is ideal for the location. The store basically has most things you'd want in a convenience store, despite certain issues such as the staff not seeming too friendly which was a shame and the issue with the condition of some milk, for example, the first one I picked up appeared to have some sort of leak, so that was frustrating. Satisfactory, average convenience store so I feel this Sainsbury's Local branch in a good location in York centre deserves a slightly generous three-star rating.

At long last York has it's very own Chinese supermarket!…read more Before chi yip opened, I had to trek all the way to Leeds city centre to stock up on all my essential Chinese cookery ingredients! There is a wide range of exotic looking fruit and veg at chi yip, some you won't recognise, some you will! you can also pick up lovely stir fry essentials such as delicious pak choi. The freezer cabinets have a wide range of precooked dim sums that you can take home and cook yourself (usually steam or deep fry) As well as frozen meat and fish. You can also buy sacks of rice, it's much cheaper to buy like this if you have room to store it!! There is a good selection of canned and jarred goods, some really interesting items, quite a number of them I've never heard of, but many that I have and would love to have a go cooking with! I would say if your new to Chinese cookery, but want to be experimental than have a recipe in mind and take the list of ingredients with you, otherwise you might get a bit over whelmed at how much 'stuff' there actually is! Last but not least is the fish and meat counter, where there is a member of staff on hand to serve you - there is also tanks of live crabs and lobster so you can literally choose which poor creature you want to take home and cook

Last time I was here, this cute shop wasn't, so it's nice to see a fresh new addition to the area. It's quite a large space - open and airy with high ceilings and plenty of hanging plants, making for an enjoyable atmosphere. There's lots of seating, both indoors and out on their front patio lined with colorful flowers. We chose to sit outside on this nice, sunny morning. But first we ordered at their front counter. Here you'll find a few large glass cases displaying lots of baked goods. Savory tarts, danishes, fresh breads, and small sandwiches. We came for coffee, but couldn't resist a little bite once we saw what was on offer. Opting for the goat cheese, tomato and basil tart, they quickly warmed it for us and delivered it out to our table. Along with it came our big cups of tasty coffee; an oat milk latte for me and a cappuccino for my husband. Everything was enjoyable! Our 10-month old was definitely a fan of the flaky pastry, as were we. I would look forward to returning here again before we head back home, and on our future visits to York.
