Can't believe I haven't reviewed what used to be my local supermarket! I literally lived on the…read moredoorstep and only ever used this place because I personally think it's better food than the bigger supermarket chains like Asda and Sainsbury's, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper as well! What I like most about Aldi is that it sells authentic food, not brand name foods. I love that I can go in and get German sausage, Spanish chorizo and Swedish smoked cheese all right next to each other, and it's all real, authentically made food, as opposed to Asda's own etc. My one reason this specific store doesn't have a 5* review is that there's 5 checkouts and they never open more than 2, even when it's absolutely mobbed. The staff could also do with being a bit more friendly; they never look pleased in their chosen workplace! ALSO, incase anyone didn't know this because I certainly didn't; Aldi sells William Brothers beer, which is absolutely wonderful!

If you don't know what Aldi is all about then I suggest you visit. They have an excellent selection of Scottish craft beers (think BrewDog, Eden Mill, Tempest, Broughton etc.) and a great lineup of wines too.

The Cafe's still there, it was closed when I headed down today but I think I may pop in again some day for a brew. It reminds me of my school days of going down the street for my lunch. Hanging around about Asda looking and buying things we've no need for. This was also a fun past time when I used to be part of the management committee at the Terminal One Youth Centre across the road. I still can't believe they made this Asda 24 hours, is there seriously people who want to head to shop in Blantyre at 3 in the morning?! I've no idea but I know I certainly wouldn't. Also why they built a Hamilton 24hr Asda when the Blantyre one's been there for 30 years. Suppose the Hamilton one does have more stuff in it like clothes and electrical etc. Well I did mange to get my dad a new ariel for his tv so he was mighty pleased. You do manage to get most things from there but it is normally for the groceries. I do have one gripe with them at the moment since they've did away with the deli counter. You now can only buy packs of meat slices, which cost a fortune, £3 odd for several slices, I don't think so. I miss the counter where you could just order what you need, maybe 1 or 2 slices. There's still some kind of counter and that's where I asked about single slices, even the women agreed that they shouldn't have did away with the deli. Ah well maybe it will work, maybe it won't only time will tell. It was the same when all those self checkouts came into play. Don't even get me started on them. Also what's with the staff being made to have big hand signs with 'space here'?! Maybe it's to give them jobs when they lost out to the self checkouts. Some people's crazy ideas eh?! As long as they keep the Asda Price low. Do do do-do-do, chink chink! (slaps bum)

The one thing that could be said about Churchill's in the past is that you never quite knew what…read moreyou were going to get. It wasn't that the owners were so adventurous they would buy in products from across the world. Nor was it anything to do with new special offers cropping up all the time. Instead, it was merely because the shelves were almost always completely bare. A trip for some rolls, cold meat and soup for lunch could quite conceivably end up in a loaf of out of date bread, cat food and a pair of gloves (the magic ones that fit all, but still). Thankfully those days are gone now and Churchills is back to being the excellent community resource it had been in the distant past. Well stocked shelves, generous opening hours and a good selection of wines and beers ensure this place does extremely well from the residents of Kirklee and Dowanhill, and perhaps more importantly, that they rarely have to make the slightly longer journey to Byres Road for every day essentials.

A few weeks ago while staying at my boyfriend's house in Dowanhill, I realised I had to pop to a…read moreshop for some essentials. I was in a particularly lazy mood that day so I really couldn't be bothered going down to Byres Road. As it was only bread and milk I needed I decided to just risk it and pop over to Churchills. Risky because Churchills was quite possibly the worst newsagent in the entire world. Its opening hours were erratic, its service surly and its shelves completely bare. So I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived in the shop to discover it had been taken over by new management. The shelves were full and there was even a substantial amount of fresh fruit and veg which can be hard to find in small newsagents. The shop floor was tidy and organised. There were a lovely selection of fresh flowers at the door. The service was excellent; when I was short 98p, rather than letting me put something back, the cashier insisted I drop the money in another time. How nice was that? Who needs Byres Road?
