Again just to make it clear, this is only relevant to UK members only. 

 

My favorites are Morrisons and Iceland.

My favourites are Morrisons and Co-op (M&S is also nice, but quite expensive).

I voted Sainsbury's because that is where I shopped the most when I lived in the UK full time. Later on I only lived there 3 to 4 months out of the year and had no transportation other than walking and bus it was the Co-op.

I liked M&S for there precooked foods and holiday foods but it was never an everyday thing.

 

I still shop like I did in the UK even though I don't live there anymore. I am still not into the buying everything in one trip a week and watching a 3rd of it go bad in the fridge like a lot of Americans do(My Daughter In law).

Morrison's is my daily, I have a local one near where I live so I can easily pick up my meal deal lunches and any grocery shopping I need to do. Mind you, it can be quite expensive, but it's local and has high quality and high selection of food items, so Morrison's is still my favorite.

 

I also particularly like Sainsbury's as they have a huge selection of items and even have clothes and other items beyond groceries.

 

Aldi is great for bottom-barrel shopping for cheap and easy items but I don't shop there often even though there's one just outside my street unless I crave snacks or so for a pound a bag.

I'm not from the UK(so I didn't participate in the poll), but I do like me some Lidl. I especially like their bakery!

 

Aldi (only other place you listed that I have been) does not seem to have the stuff I often want/need..

not in uk atm but i used to live in some old house where the neighbouring super is an small aldi which often out of stock of virtually everything, and the next one is tesco and it's ~8km away...

Thank you for reminding me of that absolute masterpiece. I haven't heard it in years, but it'll be stuck in my head all night!

 

 

I must say though, 90% of my shopping is done at LIDL, if only because it's literally at the end of my street. 

But I also have an Aldi, Sainsburys and Tesco within a 2-3 minute walk. 

 

As much as I hate to regurgitate marketing crap, they genuinely are 'Big on quality, LIDL on price'. It's usually slightly cheaper than Aldi (if only by 1p), but they have an in store bakery so they have proper bread, and their fruit and veg is actually fresh (unlike Aldi). Plus, it looks like they actually clean the store, I've yet to visit an Aldi with a clean floor.

 

The only thing I buy in Aldi is Chipotle Mayo for when I make my Spoons style wrap, and their 67p pepperoni stonebaked pizza.

 

I do also frequently shop at Sainsburys, but only when I'm with my mother so I can get her staff discount, which brings the prices down to the same price as the German supermarkets
