You don't forget things like time and place on these matters ...LOL.

Obviously getting Ciggies for your hubby Kate

Who cares when it opened? This cesspit - more than Britcliffe, economic recessions or planning stupidity has been more responsible for the decline of Accy Market & Hall than 'owt else. The sooner it shuts, the better.

Good question that JCB, my daughter does my shopping for me and she always goes to ASDA, now whether she will try out Tesco or not I'll have to wait and see

I've been told they open next month . I'd give Tesco a miss until 2011 . I think it will be heaving in the first couple of months .

Pick up a GCSE Economics textbook and it will tell you.

Today - ASDA 50% market share/Accy Market 50% market share

December - ASDA 33% market share/Tesco 33% market share/Accy Market 33% market share.

In other words, Accy Market & Hall will lose about half it's current business. You can say goodbye to any illusion that this new Tesco will attract any new shoppers into the town; there will be a few who previously shopped at Tesco Blackburn who will shop at Accy and that will be it.

Tesco customers biggest problem will be the traffic alright if you live up richmond road way but the other way towards the town I think there will be trouble more so at weekend

probably the same as whats gone on in rossendale .. tesco opened at road end .. asda moved from their old place on bocholt way which had a petrol station to over on st marys way .. brand new and a very bad car park .. then tesco moved into their old place!!!

one week asda .. next week tesco ...

special offers depending ..

should probably be a new thread , but how do you (accy web users) decide which supermarket to use , is it by price ? location ? staff ? or just habit ....... where I live I have 2 supermarkets , Luckys and Safeway , on opposite sides of the street , one means crossing opposing traffic the other an extra red light , prices from the weekly adverts are pretty much the same .
In my case I think its more habit that I use one particular store ...I know where to find stuff , neighbours prefer the other store , say the milk is better ... can't see it myself , but .
So question is what makes you pick one over the other for one stop shopping , we also have a Saturday "farmers market" supposedly selling 'picked yesterday' produce from the central valley selling mis-shapen 'organic' fruit and veg at 25% over the supermarket prices which folks attend out of civic guilt , though I must add in my case its the only place I can buy samosas and boiled unshelled peanuts , listen to street musicians and meet the local politicos out scavanging for votes for the upcoming National and State elections .
