The only supermarket I've really had issues with has been Tesco. And that was a local staffing problem - why put a veggie on the meat counter, or someone who doesn't eat cheese on the cheese counter.

ASDA have been useful to source certain ingredients e.g. canned pinto beans but there isn't a branch local to us. Generally I use Waitrose or Aldi as they are in walking distance. I prefer Waitrose because the staff know their stuff and their range is better but Aldi really do well and are priced better. Tesco is probably the biggest but the hardest to get to so Sainsbury's are next in line. My preferred though is to use local suppliers where I can especially for meat which for the same "quality level" is cheaper than the supermarkets.
