I know it may be the most perfect example of a chain store imaginable, but Tesco Extra in Talbot…read moreGreen deserves a mention when reviewing great shops. This is the biggest Tesco store I have ever been in and the sheer size of it makes most supermarkets look like a mouse's broom cupboard. With two floors and over 100,000 square feet of space to play with, Tesco Extra in Talbot Green is one of the largest Tesco superstores in Wales, if not the universe. The amount of things on offer in this store can easily turn a quick trip for a loaf of bread into a fully blown shopping extravaganza the likes of which would rival Michael Jackson. In addition to the obvious selection of food available, they offer electrical appliances, clothing, home entertainment, toys, books, magazines, homeware, mobile phones and photo processing, as well as having an onsite pharmacy, opticians and a café. About the only things this store doesn't stock are tartan paint and spirit level bubbles. Located just a short distance away from Talbot Green Retail Park, this store is situated amongst a great selection of high street outlets such as Argos Extra, Next, River Island and M&S. Also there is another retail park just down the road that also offers a number of other shops to choose from. Whether you need a pint of milk, a car charger for your iPod or anything in between, you will find it here at Tesco Extra. You might spend a while searching for it, but you will find it.

The car park is poorly laid out and you can be trapped for more than a small lifetime if you try to get out on a Saturday afternoon. That said, once inside the store it's not too bad. The clothing and DVDs etc are up on the first floor and so allowed quite a lot more space than some of the other Tesco Extras. As ever, the home stuff is pretty cheap and fairly quality. I've kitted out more than one uni goer in this Tesco.
