ASDA and Morrisons are handiest for me but I prefer Tesco. ALDI is really good for a lot of stuff though especially the sliced cheeses.

Question is though which asda?? Airport or Dunstable?? I find the airport one a lot better with a lot more range in than the dunstabe one...Though for best choice there's a trip up the A5 to the MK one

I'm surprised to see Waitrose at the top as it is quite expensive.

I shop at Tesco and every now and then Sainsburys.

Tesco is just round the corner from me so it is convenient.

At the moment they do lovely mackeral fish with spices on the top for only 60p and it tastes lovely!

My favourite Supermarket was one in bodrum in Turkey. I got the weeks shopping for 40 quid. That included 5 bottles of spirits and 3 carltons of fags and grocerys.:D

I only ever seem to go to M&S for fresh cakes, maybe a pasta pot if I'm feeling flush / hungry.

ooh the MK one next to Ikea? I haven't been in there yet! Haven't been to the Dunstable one either, Mother in law prefers that one. I'm not impressed with the changes to the airport one :td: though I can still spend a good 2 hours + browsing the store!

1) Waitrose/Ocado - 21 per cent
2) Sainsbury's - 19 per cent
3) Tesco - 15 per cent
4) Asda - 14 per cent
5) Morrisons - 10 per cent
6) Marks and Spencer - 9 per cent

Surprisingly, some of the bigger names like Tesco and Asda are way down in the favourite list...

So I thought, CF should do their own poll and see what the results should be...

Which is your favourite Supermarket and why? Have you switched recently and which Supermarket do you love to hate?


I'd hardly say 3rd and 4th "way down the list"! personally, I like Waitrose. you get what you pay for I suppose.

btw, isn't the pole going to be slightly misleading? won't that really just tell us where people shop, regardless of where they would prefer to shop? I get the feeling most people will select where they actually shop.

I mainly use Tesco for staples but also buy certain special bits and pieces from Waitrose and Marks&Sparks.

Can't beat M&S smoked mackerel pate..

Just don't buy the cheap perfumes and men's frangrances.......Basically chemicals with water in a bottle....Unless you want to come out with a huge rash.



The best supermarkets I've been in are in France. The huge Géant Casino supermarkets are amazing around Christmas time. So many things you'd want to buy.

Morrisons is only 1/2 a mile away, so thats what we mostly use.

We also get a few bits from the local Co-op and I buy a specific type of crisps from Sainsbury (only they do them).

Tesco & Sainsburys, but for convenience its Tesco as its up the end of my road.

The only thing I don't like from Tesco is their Chinese Takeaway meal bags for two. Ewww.
Never again.
