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!

I still get excited when I roll my trolley onto the travelator-escalator to go and hunt for clothes and electricals and toiletries and glasses and home stuff downstairs. Easy to while away a couple of hours here - especially cos there's a McDonalds at the entrance - so make sure you're not in a rush. Open 24 hours, but the staff tend to be less friendly at 1.30 in the morning, I've discovered. Was it because I was skipping down the aisles or something? Cheer up, you work at BIG ASDA!

Firstly they discounted lines of Halal sweets and I can no longer get them anyway. They also moved the baby section to the furthest corner of the store on the bottom floor which means its a right trail plus you have to go through the toy section and my older son now bugs me every shopping trip for a new. But my biggest problem is that they now employ staff to carry around signs in front of the tills which say space here which I feel is plain stupid. Clearly I can see for myself how many people are in a queue. Totally pointless. Dispite these problem the staff in this store are usually very friendly and helpful and the prices are great so it is a good place to shop.

There is a good range of items and it would be fairly easy to pick up all the items you may need for meal as long as there wasn't anything too obscure.

This is a medium sized branch of Morrisons and one of the better options for a super market in…read moreLeeds city centre. Most of the facilities you'd expect from a supermarket of this size are available, including butchers, bakers, fishmongers, deli counter, and so on. The branch is large enough to house a certain amount of home ware and some clothing as well as a section for magazines, books, DVDs and games. Perhaps because of the slightly strange shape of the store, the alcohol section is accessed separately with its own entrance and set of checkouts. I suspect this probably makes things slightly more efficient. Staff are generally helpful and friendly, although the store is well enough laid out that I haven't often needed help to find things. The only thing the store is really lacking is a cafe, but given that it's located in the city centre and within a shopping centre this isn't really much of a loss.

This Morrisons has a lot of good points. It stocks a decent range of products, including 'Free…read moreFrom' stuff, and it's got a good homewares section. The main downside is that it's incredibly busy at peak times, which unfortunately, is when I want to go - at lunchtimes or just after work. It's also quite tired and lacks a customer toilet. The booze section is kept seperate from the main part of the supermarket, which is convenient if you just want to nip in and grab a bottle of something for a tipple after work, but on the flipside it's quite annoying when they have offers on that require you to spend £x in one transaction and they won't honour the two purchases across two tills, even though if you had exactly the same trolley of shopping at a supermarket with a booze aisle instead you'd have qualified. Anyway, needs must, so I'll continue as a regular customer, it's really handy for work, and stocks a great range which puts it ahead of your 'Express' and 'Metro' type stores in the city centre.

The usual food, booze and toiletries once found in our good old supermarkets are now comfortably lodging next to clothing, electrical goods, magazines, a cafe, mobile phones, car and housing insurance...and probably a whole lot more. If you haven't already noticed I do like a good bitch at things now and again and I'm afraid Tesco may be one of those things..I can't quite decide. They are just sooo convenient. So much so that they drive all our nice little independent shops away and out of business. I do shop in Tesco occasionally I have to admit, I just hope that one day the world is not just full of giant Tesco shops that do everything, stripping everything of it's individuality and interest....but I'll stop ranting about it and let you decide what you think on the matter. This branch is a Tesco Express, so is a mini version of the big daddy's and doesn't have a clothing range or any TV's. Just the usual. It is open from 6am till midnight which is really handy if you're a early or late shopper or come home early/late from work. It's parked right next to a petrol station too in case you are half way through a long journey and desperately need a bite to eat as you load up your car.

I like this branch of Morrisons in Wakefield. It is a little out of the town centre and is bigger…read moreand less crowded than the town centre branch. The range of foods on offer is good - my own favourites are the fabulous date and walnut/cheese and walnut breads and the wonderful lemon smoked mackerel on the fish counter. Very very good, but then every supermarket has its specialities. What I also go to Morrisons for are the low prices, and although not across the board, I would say on average it is the most economical supermarket if you are willing to fill half your trolley with items from their value range. (As most people are, of late!) Also they have a good stock of cardboard boxes readily available, often very handy to have around and helpful for transporting your groceries!

This is where I do my Friday big shop. I know that that's a pretty way to start a review, but hear…read moreme out... There are so many places to get what you need for a week, from posh to not so posh. But still i go to Morrison's. That annoying advert on TV tells us that ASDA is cheaper. But still I go to Morrison's. The place looks like it was built in the 70's. But still I go to Morrison's. To be honest, everyone uses the same supermarket that their parents use. I was brought up in a Morrison's family, and a Morrison's man i shall remain! The only reason that it doesn't have 5 stars is as mentioned above, it looks like it was erected in the 1970's and really could do with the bit of a spruce up. The deli counter is excellent and I'm now even on first name terms with some of the staff there. What more could you want... oh yeah, I already went through that didnt I?

Oh Waitrose. My…read moreolder brother seems to think that I've got my priorities wrong as a relatively new graduate who is a little bit unemployed shopping in Waitrose. But he is missing the finer supermarket shopping experiences in life. It is often accused as the middle class, overpriced spot to shop. Whilst there are your fair share of fancy cars in the car park and mummy's debating which brand of gourmet baby food to buy it is one of the gooduns'. As supermarkets go Waitrose seem to treat their staff well, support local community, have a wider range of products available and all in all appear a friendlier place to shop. Split your shopping between here and some local places for fresh produce and I don't mind spending a few extra pennies for some happier faces.

With your first order you get a free bottle of wine and a welcome pack. They also send you money off coupons for your next three orders. They do substitute your items if they don't have what you want in stock, but when the driver arrives he goes over them with you - they allow you to inspect it and if you don't like it they will take it back and give you a refund. I think you can select not to receive substitutions though. The Waitrose own brand is of good quality so it's not an issue. I don't think it's all that snooty or expensive. I think it depends on the choices you make when you shop. Alot of grocery stores are doing price matching these days so I think aside from shopping at Asda its comparable to shopping at Marks or Sainsburys.
