Saturday supermarket shopping..

I must admit I couldn't be a***ed to follow it up. Waitrose will do for us.

Quite right too.

I had a similar problem after the CO-OP "rebranded" my local Somerfield, I asked an assistant where the crowdie was now. "Oh! we don't stock crowdie any more" she said. The exercise of cycling the extra six miles to Lidl for crowdie will do me good.

Ah - but Waitrose is nearer to our house than Tesco's! But the cycle parking at Tesco's is - surprise! - better than at Waitrose.

I don't do supermarket shopping. I leave that to Mrs Ian.
Local shopping, ie Greengrocers and butchers I will do.

Not 'Up the Circle' by any chance

Like a lot of people on here I hate shopping, if I'm going to shop I'd rather do it online. Despite that Saturday is shopping and chores day. We now have a morrisons ten minute walk from us so we walk down with our trolley and walk back, job done in less than an hour and we try to get down early before it gets busy, before Mossisons opened we would take our trolley into town on the bus and use the tescos in Jubilee crescent on the way back. I'll have to get the misses interested in doing the shop online and find something useful to do with my Saturday mornings.

Batley. Leeds. Don't care. I'm still not going to it.


(though I may be open to a cycling related bribe if Mrs Pm pushed it)

Tesco AKA the Satan of retailing (as suggested by Dell)
Have a read of Tescopoly, How One Shop Came Out on Top and Why It Matters by Andrew Simms

Also read Not On The Label by Felicity Lawrence. If anything it's even more compelling than "Tescopoly".

I avoid shopping at the weekends as much as possible. I used to work shifts and have weekdays off but not anymore. I'd agree with the previous posts about getting there for when shops open. I had to go to argos the weekend before Christmas last year (by order if Mrs Donkey) and got there ten minutes after it opened. I was out in no time. They had maximum staff working ready for the busy day ahead but not many customers had arrived.
