I shop in Dunne's, I do go to tescos occasionally (once every 2-3 months) I hate the lay out of their store.

admiralofthefleet

supervalu, i buy as much irish as i can and i tend to find that they stock the most garaunteed irish produce

SadieSue

The supermarket we use most is Maxi. Its like Tesco only Canadian :pac:

I voted for Superquinn purely for the free cheese samples they give out. Ive often done more than one lap of the cheese counter section in Blanch.

They used to be too expensive, but theyve great deals on now and their Essential own brand stuff is really reasonable. But its the free cheese mainly

I'm not loyal to any one-all that's in my town in Super Valu and Aldi. I do my shopping in either or.
I've shopped in every one of the ones listed in the poll-it all just depends on where i am and how handy they are for me.

Gunsfortoys

Online shopping with Tesco for the win.

Black Swan

Across the pond it's Trader Joe's

How do you have superquinn and supervalu in the same option? They are two completely different supermarkets!

Superquinn would still be seen as more high end so having it in with Supervalu doesnt work, and Aldi has a very high level of Irish produced product v Lidl so if this is free market research exercise you messed up!


M & S all theway, expensive but very good quality.

Mint Sauce

Tescos, although I would go to M&S for their morning breads (crumpets/muffins/soda/potato breads), or to treat my self ocassionly if they had one near by.

Mr Benevolent

M&S, no question. Too expensive to do all the shopping there though, so Tesco and Lidl are the usual haunts.

I dont shop at M&S myself..Tesco seems to be the best value because I dont like Aldi,Lidls quality (or am I missing something)....

Anyway, people think Walmart is brilliant....so far I think its **** - too big, the store is the size of a football pitch and everything is kinda pricey...got to check out Carrafour next.

Ruu_Old

Walmart!

Not really, I shop at Aldi which is 5 minutes from the house. A pile of stuff keeps me going for 2 weeks or so for $40 and good quality too. Even the produce is quite good.

Ambp

If it weren't for price, obviously Superquinn and M&S. Can't beat Superquinn's bakery.

Tescos just because in LIDL if I have to stand behind another person buying enough to feed a small army when I just want 5 things and no other till opens up I will have to self destruct

Columbia

Tesco for my main shop.

Lidl for chocolate and cola, as well as their occasional interesting products like ostrich and springbok steaks.

Aldi for the convenience being right by college.

I'd rather go hungry for the night than shop in Dunnes Stores.

FatherLen

wherever is closest.

Your missing something..........I would rate Aldi quality high apart from the fruit and veg which doesn't last. Aldi have some very good quality Irish produced products at good prices, Lidl can be so so but the chocolate is really good.

ALdi/Lidl at this time of year to avoid all the crap xmas music.

Unlike most supposed cases out there, I think you might genuinely be a sex addict, judging by a lot of your posts!!

I lol'd the other day at one of your posts about a sweaty ****!!

Trevor451

Marks and spencers because of there cookies

You'll be laughing this xmas so,no need for Sq,all the free cheese you want courtesy of the government.:D

Kimono-Girl

we shop at super-value, its great and cheaper than dunnes and tescos for the products we buy, and

every month we get 5% off so we do our big shop then to get the benefits of that, with every shop we get points for the 5%, and we get our get-away points, and on top of those at the moment we get points for a half price turkey and stamps that get you supervalue vouchers worth upto €100 all in all i get more money back from them, then dunnes or tesco ever gave us!

OPENROAD

Find Tesco to be the cheapest for household items.

M&S for food, they are actually not as expensive as people believe, they do some good offers, its a case of looking for them.

benj

Aldi, because they seem to stock more irish products than all tthe rest.

Novella

Tesco, but sometimes buy a few things in M&S. Mmm, cookies!

Absurdum

Superquinn, because I am a distinguished gentleman.

Dudess

Tesco ftw. There's all this talk of it taking over the world or something, but as long as it keeps producing that hummus and those "Finest" yogurts and bickies, I don't give a sh1te.

"Mmm... It's CRAAAAAAAAN-tastic!!!"

djfitzerjnr

local shop. that way the money is going back into the community, as opposed to the bank balance of some English / German multi-national. They prices are actually pretty close ( excluding own brand ).

Tar.Aldarion

tesco so good

You send your penis to do the shopping?

That's handy.
