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.

    • Hi .. I’ve still got the  bike lock 😀
    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
