Morrisons

Mojo’s wins the battle for my supermarket loyalty. The prices on produce are the best of all the major chains. They do a very good line in class B produce. That’s stuff of irregular or smaller sizes and the not quite glamorous but it’s just as tasty as the nicer looking stuff. The big deal is the M Savers line. Their no-​frills house brand. For things like Jaffa cakes, laundry detergent, cornflakes, pasta, honey, household cleaners you will not be able to beat these prices. Spend money on good stuff where you need to but why pay a pound for tinned tomatoes when you can pay 31p? The selection of beer and wine is decent too, though I remain shocked at how much beer has gone up lately. I also highly recommend the bakery at Morrisons. The bread and pies are yum and great value. Sorry Sainsbury’s. You used to be my fave but I can’t afford your inSAIN prices (see what I did there?). ASDA is now too big to negotiate without a golf cart and Tesco just sucks. So I’ll see you at Morrisons.

The shopping centre is located next to the petrol station and has a good car park. The size of the store is medium but it is very well supplied. I prefer it to Tesco or Lidl with regard to fresh produce although the prices could be a bit up to the ones in the prevously mentioned chains. One of the best features of the place is the cozy charming café inside and also the ivaluable presence of toilets.

This used to be my local supermarket and I never realised how lucky I was at the time. The fresh fruit and vegetables are consistently the best quality I have found in a UK supermarket and the prices tend to be somewhere between Asda and Tesco and the budget stores, Lidl and Aldi. The alcohol section is also particularly good, with a massive range of imported and speciality beers and almost too much choice in the wine aisle. The only downside is the security guard who seems overly paranoid and often follows you around this has led to my making some hasty wine choices over the years, although I’ve never been disappointed. There are some really good deals on groceries, particularly around Christmas time.
