Although not a huge store, you can find more than just basics here; fresh fruit and veg, newspapers and magazines, a wide range of tinned and packet products, frozen foods and freshly baked bread.

Pippins is the only specialist independent fruit and veg vendor on Clifton Street, and so it…read moreprovides a vital service to the local community. As there are a couple of butchers on the street, the existence of Pippins in the area means that it is entirely feasible to buy all the ingredients you need to put a great meal on the table without having to shop at a supermarket. Without Pippins, this would be hard to achieve. Luckily Pippins doesn't rest on its laurels, and in reality there is sufficient competition on the street to make their prices pretty keen. Tesco Express are sure to be exerting sufficient pressure on their own, but independent shops like Ozzy's also carry fresh produce. Nevertheless, no other shop stocks the range of goods that you can buy at Pippins. They pretty much have everything that you could conceivably want, and the quality and freshness of the produce is also good.

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!

This is a big and shiny (though no longer quite so new) Morrison's in the centre of the new…read moreharbourside development in Barry. 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!
