Spar

Spar is located near the ‘old’ Debenhams in Derby. From the outside, it looks like a fairly small store, but it is definitely far from that when you go in.
On the right is a bakery where you can buy sausage rolls, cakes, breads etc. There is also a magazine/​newspaper, sweets, various condiments and much more in the store.
Spar is very pricey considering a small walk away to Sainsburys would get you much more for your money. However, if you are in a rush on lunch hour, then prices aren’t really too bad.
Handy as its right next to the bus station.

This spar is right by the bus stops so it is great to nip in for a drink or a chocolate bar while you are waiting for the bus.
If you are like me you will always have forgotten something on your way home from town so you can pick up a loaf of bread or a pint of milk too.
The prices are a little bit more inflated than say Sainsburys or Tesco but that is what you expect from a convenience store but I don’t think they are too bad.
They always have offers on to tempt you in like BOGOF bottles of pop or chocolate. They do offers on Wine and beer too and occasionally on other groceries.
You can always treat yourself too as they have a deli counter selling hot pies, chicken, sausage rolls, pizza slices etc and they also do sandwiches and little cartons of pasta or fruit.
They are always really busy but the staff are polite and helpful and very efficient so you don’t queue for long.
Oh and don’t forget to pick up your lottery ticket, top up your electric/​gas/​mobile phone and buy your magazines.
