Is it just scum who shop in Tesco?

It's about the people, not the prices.

I buy the whole customer experience.

The thought of being surrounded by scum makes my skin crawl :(

certainly not an exlusive Tesco thing, plenty of questionalbe people everywhere and very much depends on the area the shop is in - but i do think in Poundland and Tesco etc you are more likely to notice them, as they exist there and dont exist in M&S.

People tend to lose any ability to look where they are going in supermarkets too; if someone is clearly not looking where they are going and is going to walk into me I tend to just stand there (i include little kids in this - parents should be looking after them) and let them. Most time they either realise a split second before they hit me causing them to jump and sometimes even lose balance - its very fun!

I hate the public

There are a few Morrisons around in the South East from where they bought part of Safeway a few years ago. Almost sent them under as at the time they didn't have the right product selection for the southern market, but they have started expanding again now.

For me M&S and Waitrose are the same for me in terms of quality, with Waitrose probably having more variety due to the average size of their stores.

St Alb morrisons is well worth a visit (fudge, how sad am i!) - they have a really extensive fresh veg section with an eclectic array; lots of the things that can be hard to find anywhere except the market or specialist stores in england

Do you pay additional for using Ocado? as in delivery charges etc?

Yeah, only about ?ú5 if they have a delivery in your area though. About the same as getting a decent-sized petrol-fuelled car to the shop and back in traffic. Not to mention the time it takes to drag my arse around a supermarket and carry stuff to the car is worth a hell of a lot more than ?ú5 to me.

Tesco costs more than that sometimes, depending when you book

Personally, I use Tesco deliver for staples.

No point in paying ?ú6 for brick paper, when Tesco do it for ?ú2.50 etc

You'd be surprised. Waitrose cheaper-brand (and essential own-brand) stuff is pretty much the same as Tesco - a few pence here and there but won't substantially change the price of your shop.

Fresh fruit/veg is slightly more expensive, but far, far better. Tesco fruit and veg is often only good for a couple of days after delivery in my experience - Waitrose will last and won't require replacing. Surprisingly, Asda is one of the better ones for fresh stuff.

Meat is far more expensive at Waitrose - it's better so I don't mind the price difference, but I often go to a local butcher for meat as it's both cheaper and better quality than any supermarket.

Overall, a weekly shop for two of us (including household cleaners, razor blades, etc) averaged at ?ú80-?ú85 per week at Tesco, the same shop costs around ?ú85-?ú90 at Ocado. Just don't get sucked into buying all the stuff that looks really nice that you don't need and Waitrose isn't much more expensive.
 
Try to avoid doing any shopping if i can, but if i have to i go into whatever store is closest to where i am at the time. At the end of the day ifs its food i'm buying it really does not matter, after all " food is just brick waiting to happen".

Unfortunately I had to bring myself to going into Tesco earlier and I encountered a real scummy mummy; dirty English chav, dressed in white and pink, teeth all over the shop, crusty toes hanging out in her benidorm flip-flips, dripping with H Samuel's finest and effing and blinding down her phone. Had a couple of rats running around her feet, screaming their gonad*s off. Looked about 35. Nasty.

Although I don't know the lady, I suspect three things:

1. She's never worked a fudging day in her life,
2. I fund her H Samuel 'lifestyle',
3. She's not a member of MENSA

I only go into Tesco when I really, really, REALLY have to; once, maybe twice a year. I just couldn't cope with seeing scum like that on a daily basis =;
