Have to say, having shopped in all (well most) of the above local supermarkets, on account of having to carefully watch my budget and purse, I have discovered the following:-


1. While people think Lidls is quite cheap, (some stuff is) a lot of their things are quite highly priced, every day things like milk at 1.30 for four pints etc. and quite a few necessary household items are as expensive as Asda and even Sainsburys on occasion, I was quite surprised. Nettos is in fact cheaper by far for buying tinned things like beans at 9p-10p a tin whereas Lidls charge 25p a tin for their bully bargain beans, Nettos in fact taste better too.


2. Morrisons is cheapest for buying fruit and veg and getting value for money there.


3. Asda is great when you have to buy cheap school/ordinary clothes for the kids, but they also have quite a few items of food that are really cheap too. Also Iceland have a great buy one get one free thing going on, good to go shopping with a mate and split the food this way and the costs!


4. I wish I could afford to food shop in M&S! lol! when I win the lottery! Have to say I do the bulk of my shopping at Morrisons but when I'm really skint go to Nettos. Meat shopping done in my local bully bargain butchers where you can get 15lbs chicken legs/breast for something like ?2.99, pork/lamb chops, etc. at very reasonable prices and way cheaper than any of the supermarkets.

After a month without my car, schlepping up and down LL feeing very worthy buying stuff from different shops I finally got said vehicle and went to Sainsurys today.


Terrible crowds, too busy car park, shocking prices, no bloody aubergines.


Loved it, met two EDFers, had a Starbies skinny Latte, bought all my shopping in one go, no sore hands or shoulder, bloody loved it.

    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you! 
    • Good to hear Sue - I  love Franklin’s  Although to be fair it would be a mad world where decades old local institution couldn’t do much better than (gawd help us all) a generic Youngs pub  (I had better meals in that place when it was the vale and ran by the Murphia. And that was fairly poor food even then )
