Where do you do your main "grocery" shopping?

Waitrose or M&S

All a bit up market?

Tesco was on there so I picked that, I do most of my shopping in Lidl and Aldi's though, Tesco just for those extra things...
Back at uni it's predominantly Lidl then Iceland, then Morrisons/Somerfield for anything else...

Sainsburys. Keeping the riff-raff out of Waitrose since 1869.

Combi or Famila mainly, Lidl for the special offers (my usual coffee is down from €4.99 to €2.79 for 500g this week, for example).

Sainsburys and Iceland

Iceland do some bargaintastic stuff and always save loads when I shop there and I love the variety and quality of Sainburys.

Comes under "Iceland, Somerfield etc". I don't think I'll add it to the poll, otherwise it will reset it again.

Why is Spar under "local"? It is an international brand, it is most European countries... :?

Fair enough. It's just our local Co-op is as big as Morrisons. ;)

Dave, Spar has never been a large chain over here. It's always been a franchise, mainly corner shops with the occasional petrol station.

Because over here it's only found at a local franchise level.

Ah OK, I wasn't familiar with any Co-ops that size so I lumped it in with the other "small" shops, sorry about that. :)
