One of my friends...
His father is quite tight, in that, despite the choice of supermarkets that Beckenham has to offer, he always shops at Tesco (the one at Elmers End), the furthest away from his home, because the parking there is free. I don't know if he's factored petrol consumption into that idea, but there you go.

It's a sort of 'like father, like son' scenario there, because said friend himself is also wary of his finances.

Maybe not so much tight, but more out of principle.
I too wouldnt visit a supermarket where I had to pay to park my car there.

to not shop at Tesco

You'd have to pay me
to go to Elmers End.

Although there is a rather nice/interesting/worth visiting once greasyspoon-combined-with-Chinese-takeaway near the Tescos.

Oooh I live in Beckenham too,
when I'm not universitying in Reading.

Hmm, Beckenham supermarkets... Sainsbury's would be my first choice.

Have you ever eaten at Mae Ping? Lovely Thai food, but you have to pay with a wad of cash

*insert crappy thai twad pun here*

Woo
Well, that's nice to know.

Sainsbury's is my first choice too, purely because I live on the same road as it.

I can't say I have eaten there, mostly because I tend to lack a wad of cash at any given time.
