Asda

thewarn [Edit] [Delete] 128 replies 10:18 March 4th, 2013

I went into an Asda for the first time ever (I think).

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

People shop here on a regular basis?

They still require a pound coin for their trolleys! No Haloumi!

I've never been so disgusted in my life.

      Since Sainsburys is much more expensive than Morrisons and Mozzers has a bigger selection and does great deals on meat/fish/vegetables.

        That place reduces me to tears. It's not worth it for the sake of a few pennies saved on shopping.

        Sometimes it's worth paying a little more for not having to fight a desire to kill yourself to end it all.
        
        This is why we travel the extra 200m to the Waitrose in Holloway.

        Most people can't afford to do their big main grocery shop in Waitrose. I would love it if I could go to a proper fruit and veg shop though.

        Obviously it massively varies depending on where you are
        
        Morrisons on the Isle of Wight is absolutely fine. It's spacious, well laid out and there's lots of choice in the area so it's never overcrowded.
        
        My local morrisons, however is an absolute nightmare. It's the only supermarket easily available for a very densely populated area so it's always rammed and the people that shop there all seem to be idiots with no self or spacial awareness. I also hate how the two fridge bits are on opposite sides of the store meaning if you forget something because it's in the silly 'market street' bit you have to fight you way back across there. I really, really hate it.
        
        Wen i do go there i dont notice that much of a difference in price between there and sainsburys to even contemplate changing where I do a big shop.

        What is your argument here, exactly?
        
        You seem to find it odd that anyone would pick one supermarket over another for any reason other than cost.
        
        In fact perceived food quality and the store in general would appear to be EXACTLY what people do care about, which is why both Waitrose and Sainsbury's did better than Tesco around Christmas shops, because apparently Tesco went for the, "we're really cheap," line so people weren't so sure about the food.
        
        I don't think there's a great deal in it, personally. Certainly not with only two of you and not buying any meat or fish. You can buy cheap tins of stuff but you do actually notice when you get a cheap tin of (say) kidney beans: they tend to be harder and drier.

        My argument is that Morrisons is much cheaper than Waitrose.
        
        And although I love Waitrose, I and a lot of other people can't afford to do the main shop there.
        
        'You seem to find it odd that anyone would pick one supermarket over another for any reason other than cost.'
        No, but for those on tight budgets it is a major factor when choosing where to shop.

Why is there no consistency regarding pound coins for trolleys?

The two Asdas' near me do not require pound coins. The Tesco near me does.

One of the Sainsbury's near my girlfriend's house does, the other doesn't.

The Asda where I used to do my shopping in Stoke needed a pound for the small trolleys, but not the big ones.

What's this all about?

- Really? Fascinating.
  
  I thought all Tescos had trolleys that automatically fuck up as soon as you try and take them off site, therefore negating the need for pound coins?

        I've tried it. There you are, pushing your trolley along, you get to the exit line and SNAP down come a yellow plastic thing over one of the wheels that stops you moving it any further. Every couple of hours an Asda worker comes out and turns the trolleys upside down one by one to reset the mechanism.

- Local authorities sometimes insist on the pound-coin trolleys
  
  when granting planning permission for supermarkets - although I don't think it's enforceable, it's usually a good-will gesture on the supermarket's behalf. It's normally to stop them being dumped in nearby rivers etc.

There's a massive one near me in Hyson Green.

Poor selection of yoghurts. Fruit and veg isn't great quality.

I find shopping in Asdas quite depressing really

I can spend loads, feel like I have got loads of bargains, then when I get home realise I don't really have enough actual food for more than a couple of days. Good for getting stuff like bog roll and beer, but food not so good. Without meaning to claim massive amounts of indie points, I go to the butchers and the greengrocers down the road a couple of times a week and spend bugger all and get loads of actual food, which just needs topping up with a few stock ingredients, tins and the like from the local co-op.

My friend used to buy

ASDA own brand stewed steak, warm it in a pan with some peas and have it for dinner.

- I have often wondered what that is like
  
  I used to quite like Stagg chilli in a can in my student days, I suspect that is slightly higher in quality than Asda steak.

  - Dunno, I reckon that tinned steak is probably much better quality than the horse shavings that go into tinned chili...

I get really nostalgic when I think about Morrisons in Hillsborough

even though I've only ever been in there a couple of times.

As you were.

Royter-Hatfood | 4 Mar '13, 17:17 | X | ^ This | Reply
- That's our local
  
  Although we tend to drive out to Asda as our weekly shop is nearly £10 cheaper. Morrisons is great though

No Halloumi?

You must have been to a rubbish ASDA. My local one (Luton) is OFFICIALLY the smallest proper Asda in the WORLD (excluding the ASDA versions of Tesco Metro, of which I've only ever seen one, on Tottenham High Road) and it does not one, but three types of halloumi.

They expect you to use a pound in my nearest Waitrose

I expected better from Waitrose.

Used to be a mix of

Tesco in Levenshulme for basic everyday stuff, Sainsburys in Fallowfield for weekend shops and whne I fancied properly cooking. Now that I live in a posh place I'll probably just eat posh food from posh delis every night.

The word 'disgusted'/'disgusting' is thrown around rather lightly these days.

You're just nipping down to the local downmarket emporium, not witnessing genocide or falling face-first into a massive pile of horse shit.
