Food shopping
« on: Saturday 21 October 2006, 07:14:17 PM »
Tesco for me, bearing in mind I'm a car-less student; it's 5-10 minutes away from where I live and fairly cheap.

You?

Where's Morrisons, and why only two options?

Where's M&S, for the snobs among us ;)

We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
It takes a wise man to learn from his mistakes, but an even wiser man to learn from others.
This is what should be done. By one who is skilled in goodness, and who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, straightforward and gentle in speech. Humble and not conceited, contented and easily satisfied. Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful, not proud and demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.

"I took the decision to resign in September 2008 only after very careful and anxious consideration. The decision to resign was one of the most difficult decisions that I have ever had to take in my life. I believe that anybody who knows me and my attachment to Newcastle United and the North East in general will understand how difficult this must have been. I very much hope that the decision of the Tribunal now confirms why I felt that I had no option but to resign from the position as Manager of the Club that I love."- Kevin Keegan speaking on 02/10/2009

Does there need to be a Sainsbury and a Sainsbury local option? Surely its the same thing just a little smaller?

Morrisons, M&S and corner shop options added. Forgot to add them at first. Sorry.

Thompers, I thought 2 would be enough. I can't edit how many votes people can I have unless I'm much mistaken.

Hate the local ones ever since they took over Bells. Bells used to have some decent booze offers and ever since Sainsbury's bought them, they've been s***.

No I was referring to these local variants of supermarkets like Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local. It is just the same thing but a little smaller, but some people might choose to go to them rather than the big supermarkets.

Go to ASDA.

Speaking of which, there free sample counters are "out to lunch" whenver I go their at lunchtime, surely it would make more sense to give them their lunch hour at a different time and not between 12-2 when more people probably frequent the place.

Yes I am a pikey but they had free sample of beer the other day  bluesigh.gif

Can one of the admins actually increase the number of votes people can make?

Or shall I just restart this thread. 2 isn't enough, Thompers is quite right.

I don't really like Asda, the thought of giving my cash to Americans when there are alternatives annoys me.

I like Tesco's chicken ceasar wraps. If you really want a quality sandwich get yourself down to good old expensive Waitrose.

If you can find anywhere that does a lunchtime snack that even comes close to an ASDA Chicken Caeser Baguette I doth my hat to you!
