ASDA

[BattleFieldRelics]

Do you shop at ASDA like DD?

[Urb']

yup, works out alot cheaper than sainsbury's for same stuff, got better things to spend what i save on.

[annie^minxor]

in actual fact i shop at asda for clothing for children, morrisons for food tesco for food drink and clothing and sainsburys for special offers oh and lidl for biscuits half price fruit and veg so i really couldnt come into the above 2 categories really speaking cos the only food i buy at asda is the takeaway indian lol

[Jackal]

Marks and Spencer all the way for me.....

[HaYl0]

DD went to Tesco metro yesterday so this is lies! allllll lies!

i work at Marks and Spencer :D

[Poopie]

m&s isnt fun shopping.... so little (and expensive) instant/microwaveble food.....

[Carrot]

Tesco for food/drink shopping, M&S for Birthday cakes and things like Peking Duck.

We bought the Indian takeout meal from Asda a couple of times and we have bought clothes for the children there also.... there isn't a Sainsburys near us - there is a new Morrisons but they have put it in a place where the traffic is really bad so I avoid it.

I once bought broccoli at Aldi but the numerous caterpillars that were in it put me off.... I don't like making the dinner turning into a biology lesson;)

[Bear]

Hampers from Harrods.....cos I'm smarter than the average Bear

[geordiedmw]

asda & tesco family favs, however use icland lidle and a few others depends on the budget each month as to where we go and get our food however asda (george) rocks for kids clothing .

[jimbob]

Morrisons for regular stuff...Cos it's proper a northern store like....and good buy 1 get 1 free offers.

M&S for Oatmeal bread and Gooseberry Fool yoghurts....which sounds quite ghey!

[DoubleDoom]

Asda used to be quite nice but last time i went in one (which is about 3 years ago) it was more like a warehouse. Never been back since

[Poopie]

carrot, at least u know those veges are fresh and largely free of psticides :D

[Lankinator]

Tesco all the way!!

[Legge]

i do my food shopping at budgens local cos as the name suggests, it is in fact very close to my home.

But I thought you worked on the fish counter

[Frank (odense)]

Hmmm... I choose not to vote on this one as I don't know what ASDA is.....

[JanthraX]

Hampers form harrods, RICHER than the vaerage bear!!!!

[GreenGrass]

could u brits plz explain us danes what this is all about, besides talking about our gods shopping habbits...

[humancoin]

sainsbury is bestitas!

[Merlin.Huff]

I should say CoOp as I work for them but, Its Tesco in the huff household

[happynoodleboy]

Camden only has safeways M&S and sainsburys. Occasionally I go out to tesco but although ASDA is cheap I always find them opressive, dingy and full of proles.

As an organic munching member of the elite I do not frequent the same superstores as the chavs.

[Poopie]

tesco, sainsbury, asda etc are grocery stores.... selling stuff like groceries, clothes... stuff

[Zen]

seriously i would never gonna walk into asda ever again..siince my last vist...last night. It was pretty much horrible due to my frst impression of ASDA. Can u believe it they have to have 2 aisle of junk food??! feeding americans ?!

cant seemed to see any microwaveable food which is semi fresh, not like tesco and sainsbury does. And they look very cheap, dirt cheap.

I think M&S does better than ASDA. Tbh, i am sainsbury and tesco straight up :)

[Poopie]

are u kidding me? junk food here is a joke!!! they come is tiny packets!!! I want my huge family/party size chips.... i want my huge candy..... i want my BBQ flavours.... not salt and vinegar.... not little girl size packets of chips....

[sp00ge]

Pfff real men shop at Lidl! And if you'll visit their state of the art website you can peruse the weekly specials at your leisure http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/index.nsf/pages/i.home
I'm torn between the temperature station and the digital thermometer myself

[Hades]

hey i am 15 years old i dont buy my food :P:P

[Cookie]

I only shop at C1000, i don't know ASDA

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

if i can i go to the local market as much as possible or i try to use local shops for things like meat and veg, i use to live near a realy good deli where i spent far too much money, but i have to admit to using sainsburys for things like undo noodles and pesto ( if i cant be arsed picking my own basil ) and pasta
no ASDA's in belfast yet

[Bad_Squishee]

ALDI is the best!!!

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

Aldi and Lidl are two different stores, oh those of little knowledge.

Aldi [I think Squish is in the middle]

lol @ the Lidl photo:D

Actually went to Asda today - unfortunately the only red item they had for my daughter to take to her school disco was a red handbag:(

[scab]

Lidl has good icecream...

[George]

You obviously missed the Ketchup, Tomatoes, Chicken Tikka Massala, Kidney Beans, Red Apples, Dishcloths, Dog/Cat Bowls, Towels, and Red Wine.

[Carrot]

she is only 9 and she wasn't doing the catering for the disco.....;)

I think the staff might have had something to say if she had turned up with a bottle of red wine!:D Although after the day I had yesterday I could have done with the bottle myself!!!


Hey Alexxx - what flavours do they do? The kids like icecream..... They are building a Lidl store a couple of miles away from me - but judging by the photo I won't have any problems finding a parking space if I go there:D

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

lidl do icecream!!!
OMW !!!
carrot you'll shop there once and still end up having to back to your old shop to finish your shopping :)

[SentineL_]

Lidl ice cream is lush! :D

[Carrot]

I had ameretto icecream last week from an Italian restaurant and loved the taste - wish I could find some to enjoy at home......any ideas?

[Zeph]

If you have an Ice Cream maker, there's this

http://goinside.com/eatery/amaretto.html

[TheTrout]

If you drink 3 bottles of Amaretto, then any type of Ice cream will taste of Amaretto :) (No Ice cream maker needed)

[Zeph]

lol Trouty is a man with a plan :D

[Carrot]

now it is funny that you should suggest that but....today we bought a pot of cornish ice cream and a bottle of amaretto. I baked some amaretti biscuits and crumbled them into the icecream and poured in 'some' amaretto. Unfortunately the high alcohol content is making it take ages and ages for the icecream to get solid again....but it sure tastes good;)

I think if it is still having problems tomorrow we will have to get the icecream maker out to zap it into submission!:D

Zeph that recipe sounded very interesting but ...what is half and half? I fancy trying it out if I can get that stuff at Tesco or 'Asda';)

Carrot you missed MY recipe. You Drink the amaretto (preferably in copious amounts) and I promise that your Cornish Ice Cream will taste of Amaretto all night long. I'm not responsible for any Pink Elephants (or other such mythical beasts) that you may encounter shortly after the Amaretto intake though. The added bonus is, there is no waiting for the Ice cream to set. Before eating the Ice Cream though, I would advise taking a couple of days holiday at work.... My type of Ice cream tends to make you ill for some reason. No Idea why :)

DISCLAIMER - TheTrout Corporation (TM) is not held responsible for 1. Weightgain 2. Prolonged periods of sickness 3. Any form of Hallucinations (Including, but not limited to, telling a significant other that you "Lurvvvvve them", and that you "Really Lurvvvvvve them" and "Really Really Lurvvvvvvvvve them" and then going in a mood with them when they appear disinterested. 4. Ill Health feelings (Including, but not limited too, Vomitting, Unconsciousness, and sprouting "poo" orally in the forms of disjointed English)

Apart from that, all of TheTrout Corporation (TM) Recipies have been found to meet standard Health and safety requirements.

AMENDMENT - The eating of this form of Ice Cream may (For reasons beyond TheTrout Corporations(TM) control) incur certain Disabilty of limbs and a certain level of disorientation. This is due to certain additives in the Ice cream, and is not the fault of the Amaretto. (It's a gravity effect on the Ice Creams fat content basically)

And at no point does TheTrout Corporation(TM) condone the sale of Hazardous liquor/Beer/Spirits for underage folks. IE 18 in the UK. (This whole post is a joke kids, please don't try it at home. AND I MEAN THAT)

[Carrot]

LOL:D Yes I am sure that after 3 bottles of Amaretto anything would taste of Amaretto and I would be talking to the trees too!:D

I did make a start on the Amaretto icecream front last night - tried some this morning after breakfast and it still hasn't frozen...hehe - the high altitude of where I live is obviously having an effect on it as it couldn't be the alcohol content could it?;)

I can't wait to experiment with other icecreams and the drinks cupboard.....everyone has to have a hobby!:D
