Is it just me hates supermarkets?

we shop in sainsburys , because it's the closed to where we live , don't mind shopping , always like to work out the best offers and not the ones they try to push on us ......

Yes , Tesco off junction 10 ,but that junction and roundabout is a big no no , unless you have all day to get round it ......

Write your comments here...have to admit, it is NOT a pleasant route; we used to store our Caravan down a bit from there, right turn past the garden centre. One day an old boy hit us head on on his vintage motorcycle. I still shudder; it even made the Nick Knowles TV series as a 'life or death' thing. Thankfully we no longer have to use it. On the positive side £145 already saved on our Clubcard (with boost) for August

I just open a couple of spreadsheets, then OH thinks I'm too busy to accompany her forays down the aisles.

We no longer have a wet fish shop in town we do have a van that comes round the village but I always forget when its coming. Its one of the things I love about going to France and Spain, the great choice of lovely fresh wet fish almost everywhere. I also find the meat has much more flavour, especially the pork chops.  I don't mind supermarkets but since we retired OH comes with me and it takes me forever to find him I've usually finished and packed before he wonders along saying "Oh you've finished"

He's obviously doing it right then ...... 

What I dislike about Sainsbury's is their insinuation that I sm some sort of thief.  At the self checkout the machine always asks "have you swiped your Nectar card"?  I mean, Really!  I applied for it in the normal way and certainly didn't "swipe" it.

One nice thing about being retired is we can shop where we want, when we want. Local veg and meat, fish man visits once a week. Supermarkets according to what they're offering product/voucher wise.

oh, and time to do it on quieter days, without rushing

When we first retired, we went down to one car, so OH had me drive her to the shops and help decide what to buy.

I think the novelty has worn off now though, and since we got the Smart a couple of years back she has taken to going out shopping alone!

Chance would be a fine thing  although I did manage Asda today on my own, as OH was playing with his scooter didn't take me long or cost anywhere near as much.

Yes, she reckons she gets round the shop faster on her own, and sticks beter to her list.

Apparently I am more of an "impulse shopper" !!

Never  shopped  at  BP  Tammygirl,  twice  at  ESSO  and  once  at  Mobil,  but  couldn't  stand  the  taste  never-mind  the  appalling  choice !!
