i use the blackburn asda only go to accy now and again but i do prefer the accy asda

Ber999T · 23-10-2007, 01:25

has to be asda for us (and not just o/h works there) can't find anything we like in other stores, even struggle in other asda's as they have local lines as well as main lines

i shop at asda most of the time, i would shop at our local market but they dont have much, a card stall a fruit & veg stall,a clothing stall,and a stall that sells batteries that sums up our market, and its only here on a wed morn, they all pack up at 1pm, i live in a historical market town

Mrs goes to Asda as it gives her an excuse to wander through the George bit for clothes for the 2 youngest.

Do Tesco sometimes but as Garinda has said putting money in Shirley's pocket fills me with revulsion.

And yes before anyone starts going I know all about Wallmart.

The other main reason is that Asda in Accy is a lot more convenient.

(They also sell tinned Vimto and Tesco doesn't

)

Asda usally
Marks and Sparks for potatoes etc.
Tesco Haslingden sometimes
If Tesco came to Accrington i would use that on alterative week to asda probaly.

Asda seems,at least according to this poll, to get a fair chunk of the communities cash. Do they give anything back eg. sponsor a school for sports equipment, perhaps send the odd hamper to a local care home. Only ask as I dont know.

jackyalex · 23-10-2007, 21:28

our asda doesnt do anything for the community i dont know about accy asda though

I should have said, it is the Accrington Asda I was talking about.

supermarket wise we prefer Tesco. I hate the layout in ASDA(its not logical, some cheese here, some 3 aisles away etc) and the car park is a total joke.

However i do like shopping on the markets. Eitehr Accy (mainly fruit/veg), Blackburn (meat from whittakers) or Bury ( superb market for pretty much everything.)

I shop at asda.. when I say "I", I mean my mum does and i help to eat lol.

When I'm at college i go to tesco as its right in the centre of town. They are a bit expensive tho!

I go to Accrington Market and town centre most days to buy what I need. Now and then I go to Morrisons and sometimes Asda. Accrington doesn't need another supermarket. Fish, fruit and veg is far superior on Accrington market. If we don't use the market and town centre shops they will disappear altogether. Newsagents are doing badly because of supermarkets and garages selling them. Remember the corner shops? Almost gone now due to the supermarkets.

i shop at asda as it has everything i need

I would love to be able to shop on Accy market, but since it moved it is far too small. My favourite market has to be Bury, lots of choice (and some quite unusual food as well) - I visit about once a month and stock up on fresh fish, which I freeze. I also think Bury is a great town to shop in, and it only takes the same time as if I went into Blackburn, and it is possible to park for free within a few minutes walk of the town centre. I must admit I try to avoid having to visit Blackburn as much as I can.

We shop at Asda mainly, but I prefer the meats and cheeses from Lidl also I like going to Jack Fultons freezer place on broadway, I love a good bargain!
