Where do you do your main "grocery" shopping?

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).

Didn't PG do this one a couple of weeks ago?  And where's the Co-operative option? _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

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. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

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.
