Ladymuck Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 > (SeanMac has a point, in that some supermarket> items are overpriced in comparison with local> shops)Yes, he does. As does Narnia, in that some local shops' items are (to some) offputtingly priced compared with their corresponding supermarket equivalents.

Iceland isn't so bad, you can get lots of produve that's not frozen too. I love the independent shops though but that doesn't suit everyone. Although not on LL, Barrys shop is fantastic, opens late and does a huge range of things including those gu/fru deSserts people mentioned before. The staff are lovely and get to know you. I'd vote for a Barrys onLL too ;) I thought all the Waitrose "aspirations" talked about on the forum were a running joke, clearly not.

Alec John Moore Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I've been meaning to mention Barry's. It has really improved since Shine became the manager a while ago. He's an entrepreneur with a real sense of his clientele's needs and interests. So, good customer service doesn't just mean that you don't feel so bad about paying a bit over the odds for stuff but that the shop actually stocks the products you are interested in and new ones you might like to try. Where else can you get Marmite XO, for instance? That was a rheorical question, by the way.

treehugger Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I Love Barry's too and all the staff. They have a really wide range of products and will get stuff in for you if you ask them. BUT: they are more expensive than Sainsbury's. I don't care personally because they are convenient and I want to give them my custom. It's not all about money - and shouldn't be.

zeban Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Barry's is more expensive than Sainsbury's for some things. I think their free range eggs might be around the same though and they have some nice organic canned soups/other things if you're feeling lazy. I love this Moroccan tagine they have. Yummy, and nowhere near as pricey as those innocent veg pots if I want a healthy ready meal.

karter Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thought another useful grocery store was opening up but turns out it's another property agent, near the roundabout.

AlexC Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Seems the new Waitrose on Old Brompton Road is going to be the first smaller format store to trial the name 'Little Waitrose'. A new sub-brand.

mariatia Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm about to appoint someone to fit an electric shower. Do I need to be asking those quoting me for any certificates?
