Reet, I'm Sold.

I was passing last week so thought I'd pop in and get some tea. I got the weekends food and beer for 30 quid.

 

I thought I'll give that another go and did a 'Big Shop' there yesterday. I got a trolly full for 70 quid including fucking rafts of what appears to be of top, top quality veg and all our Sunday lunch stuff.

 

I've always been a stalwart Asda customer but what I got yesterday would have cost me 120-150 quid and most would be going off by the middle of the week.

 

As for the rest of the quality, I got some beef burgers and they were lovely, that nice I checked the ingredients. It said 99% beef!

 

 

Aldi the new shop of choice.

 

(although they dont fuck about at the till do they)

The fruit and veg is "better" in that it's not the cosmetically perfect tasteless shit Asda sell.

aldi rules

Quick on the tills means you need to be quick packing your trolley again.

Asda is a truly awful supermarket.

The veg at Aldi is tip top. Their rocket and asparagus is as good as any other supermarket, if not better. In fact, I doubt they even sell that at Asda.

Not sure I could do a "big shop" there, but still, they do sell some half decent stuff.

Lidl for us! the vino is tip top at the right price!

To be fair, you don't strike me as the salad type, Casino. :D

i'm happy to have some crispy lettuce on my burgers

Thumbs up here for Aldi too

 

Last week I got a couple of bottles of Mythos and some proper spanish hot chocolate :good:

 

The continental hams are good too

 

Though I cant believe some of the random stuff they sell, though I always have a good mooch

 

You never know when a 3 litre hot water urn might come in useful

I will try Aldi tomorrow.....

They do a cracking Pear Cider.

 

3 litres, 7.5%, ?4.29.

 

Its disguised as a wine though, it comes in one of those boxes with a tap.

Snobbery over an Asda? What's wrong with Astley Bridge?

you could never do a full shop there,

Now thats classy.

alkis in the states love booze in boxes as bottles clang and clank when you take them out in the rubbish bags

astley bridge asda has to be the worst shopping experience in the memory of man

 

the clientele are generally scuffers and its a victim of its success in that it's way too small for what they're trying to do

 

its my nearest asda but i'd drive past it and go to middlebrook before i'd choose to go in there

Tha wants to go to Leyth Asda, it's all that and worse. So is the Burnden one, that's fucking horrible. AB is fine after about 9pm.

cant be as bad as the manny road one.

Asda in Hulme is the worst supermarket in existence

It certainly is horrible, but the worst Asda award goes to Farnworth.

Rudest clientele for Asda goes to Fulwood. I sometimes have to nip in if I've got a shortened lunch & it really is very rare because what a set of rude ill-mannered people frequent that store. And their till operators are all educated at Preston's equivalent of Woodside.

I had to nip to Asda over the weekend, it was the one in Haperhey grim doesnt come close.

Its not that bad, its the closest to my folks so I go in there when back. Although when I was back a few weeks ago spotted this family twice (eldest lad seemed to be wearing a hat with long dog ears on it, even though it was fairly warm)

and bloody hell they stank like a tramp on the tube.

Tha wants to go to Leyth Asda, it's all that and worse.

 

 

Agree, it's not so much a hovel, its the filthy cunts in there.

 

Its had the market dominance in town for 20 years but that will end next month when Tesco and Morrisons open. They're also building a new Sainsburys.
