Like the Sweet Mart in Easton this is a store that is all about the customer. They buy in only the best quality fruit and vegetables, for example, and sell it at reasonable and affordable prices. It's all organic and locally sourced where possible - stocked full of love and good energy. The Asian food section is immense with every type of spice and raw bean imaginable. It's a good place too to find adverts and posters for local and ethical happenings. A great store that comes highly recommended.

Last Sunday I heard her shouting at a cashier and having a go at the cashier behind him about the bags on the floor. What is the issue with having one or two bags on the floor?

Normally I wouldn't write about a Tesco superstore, but this one made the news! I remember when…read morethis story hit back in January, after this particular grocery store asked its customers not to shop in their pyjamas or bare feet. According to the BBC, notices had been put up in the chain's supermarket in St Mellons saying: "To avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted)." Evidently a few shoppers were refused entry for wearing pyjama bottoms, which apparently didn't go down well with the residents of St Mellons. A really close mate of mine used to live out in St Mellon's and I've been here a few times with her, and admittedly it's not one of my favourite Tesco supermarkets, but nevertheless it serves its purpose as a mega grocery store.

This particular Coop is HUGE by Coop standards. The best feature is the car park at the rear, which…read moreis very useful for multi shopping down Crwys road. I personally go to the local butchers first for some really great meat then pick up all the other shopping needs from the Coop and because it's opposite the student accommodation there's always a good deal on the alcohol. The Coop is very useful as it is much larger than other stores, so you can actually do a full shop there and the prices are also very reasonable because it's a Coop. This Coop has some useful features:- ATM (Cashpoint) Beers, Wines and Spirits Lotto Online PayPoint Photo Booth Photocopier

This is one of my favourite Co-op food stores because it is so much bigger than most of the others…read more This means that they have room to stock a broader range of products that aren't usually available at other outlets. I love the Co-op Acacia honey, but I'm hard pressed to find it at the inner city stores. They also do a better selection of bread here, with some great healthful seeded options that again I struggle to buy elsewhere. It's a busy shop, especially in the early evenings, and so there can sometimes be a queue at the check-out. It also means that if you call in at around 8.00pm some of the more popular daily items (particularly bread and salad bags etc) have sold out, and so I recommend a mid afternoon visit if possible. Although, one benefit to shopping here mid evening is that they usually have a good selection of perishables that have been discounted quite heavily. I have been known to fill my fruit bowl, and my veg rack from a mid evening visit!

Although it's surrounded by new housing, it's actually pretty central, and only a 10 minute walk from the centre of town. It's also served by several of Barry's local buses. Although a lot of people are disparaging about Morrison's, I quite like this store: it's clean, bright, and well-stocked, and with wide aisles. The quality of fruit and veg is fine (not quite up to Waitrose standards, but then you're paying less) and it's large enough to cope with the most demanding weekly shop. There's an in-store bakery, cake shop, butcher, fish counter and delicatessen, as well as a fresh salad and fresh pizza counter. The large cafe at one end of the store is fine, if you need some sustenance before or after your shop, and it seems popular with pensioners and the odd family doing just that. There's a very large car park, and a petrol station with very competitive prices and reasonable opening hours (NB it doesn't open until 7am, so if you have an early start, fill up the night before). Other facilities include a cashpoint, customer toilets and recycling centre.

Easy to get to, competative prices and helpful staff…read more The cafe isnt cracked up to much but the salad bar in the store is nice. Morrisons is great at trying to get that 'market feel' with a bakery, deli counter, fish counter and butchers. The petrol station can be a pain - the layout is terrible and if it's busy it's hard to get out of the car park. They have just re-furbished this and i havent seen if they've actually changed the layout - i hope so though!

Or I could head to BRB, get a bag of crisps, an apple, Bristol evening post and a a can of something alcoholic... the choice varies from week to week. usually I don't hang on, and BRB can supply me with just what I am after. I think you know that you're going to be paying a little more than you expect when you head into a mini supermarket like this, but then it provides you with a stangley warm feeling when you leave with your purchases... ... is that a bit wierd? ... Is it completley normal? Either way I think I can garantee you contentment from BRB, I know a big statement for such an average shop... but i'll stand by it, that and my overuse of the 3 full stops pause in this review...

A vaguely more enjoyable, and more local shopping experience. There's a good range of English and Caribbean fresh and frozen food and groceries, including yams, plantains and jerk spices which you can't readily find elsewhere. Everything you want and more - newspapers and a decent selection of beers, ciders and wines too. Just when you think you've reached the end of the shop, on it goes. There's a cashpoint (that charges for withdrawals, boo) and even books, DVDs, cards and gifts. BRB = better than your average local shop.

By the time you add on the cost of petrol to get to a larger supermarket, it is worth paying the slightly higher prices in this store. The staff are all locals and most have been there since the store opened. Tesco's obviously made a commercial decision to open in this village, but it is one that is much appreciated by those living here. It has free parking for about a dozen cars, but that is sufficient as many of their customers are pedestrians. The village post office is also located inside the store.

It's a small store and it's fresh produce is really limited so don't go there if you find yourself in need of something other than the normal carrots, potatoes, apples and bananas etc!
