# apart from the fat council bints in leggings
and the female ninjas, my asda is great, there's a large local asian community which means rice and spices are piled up in big bags like in a corner shop, there's also now a polish asile due to an influx of workers.

i find that if you look around you can get good british produce at a fair price.

# neither
tesco = tax doging basterds/dame shirley porter
asda = walmart cunts of america
M&S = smug bastards

It's gotta be morrisons or sainsburys - back the brits etc etc

# Sainsburys is far too middle class







Waitrose ftw

# I refuse to go to asda now
One summer we bought some lamb and mint kebabs from there, and the meat was like pulp and just melted into the bbq.

Also the one near home tends to be full of scumbags (/snob)

# One of the things I love about Waitrose
is that the sign there says "5 items or fewer".

You get a better class of syntax at Waitrose.

# I like Sainsburys. It keeps the proles out of Waitrose
/forget who originally said that so can't credit.

# its gets complicated when you throw product budget channels into the mix
which is better Asda Best or Tesco Value? Tesco Finest or Sainsburies Basic.

We need a mathematician

# ... Stat!
/finds the concept of shopping in the local Asda while 'families' wander around the store munching on open burgers and fries from the in-house McDonalds a little too much - spreading their McGreasy McMitts over all the open produce and clothes.

is all the bloody chavs wandering around eating the biscuits/doughnuts they haven't paid for yet

# You have to accept that virtually all shoppers carry germs/grease on their hands to some extent
I just find the process of encouraging it via the in-house McDonalds route a silly idea. Watching young kids/tots being pushed round in the trolleys munching on burgers and spitting/throwing it all around them is also a bit 'meh'

# I just realised
you are talking about an in-house McDonalds in an Asda. What alternate universe have I suddenly landed in?

# Honestly, that is truly the worst thing I can imagine in a supermarket.
that is truly the worst thing I can imagine in a supermarket.At least the Asda's here in Cardiff have their own cafe sections admittedly with nothing much that didn't come out of the deep fryer but the food comes on plates and requires knives and forks for eating.

# Sainsbury's basic cheese is nice enough
Also the salmon is OK.

However both of these are not much cheaper than the regular stuff
(I helped save b3ta! Barbarossa is not my real name, Thu 4 Feb 2010, 13:16, archived)
# many budget foods are in fact exactly the same as the standard version
its just that they need to produce a budget version to fill their product range. They generally can't produce it any cheaper anyway.

and yes - JS Basics cheese is nice.

# ASDA is vile... but so much cheaper
I actually don't mind the ALDI/LIDL axis

but we're a sainsburys household

# Sainsbury's for me also
mostly to do with proximity, but they also seem somehow less foul than the others too.

# I'll agree with you there, you kinda know what you're getting into with Aldi
and they do have 'some' gems on the food aisles.
There's also a local small sainsburys just opened up nearby which I'm finding rather nice
