We only have Kwik Save and Aldi here but I do sometimes shop on line at Asda and they are in the middle of building an Asda store (right opposite Kwick Save wonder how long they will last). Can't wait shouldn't be long now. Germaine x

we have a free bus to ASDA but it leaves us there for 2 hours and they have closed the coffee shop, so dont go any more. We also have a free bus to Tescos, who do have a coffee shop, so sometimes use that. I use a proper butchers and we bake our own bread. Sainsburys is expanding here and is very nice, but I still have to wait 2 hours to get a bus back. Starbucks is taking over their coffee shop in the autumn. Waitrose is noce (my husband prefers it) and as he drives then that is where he takes me, but the parking is awful I suppose it depends on how long you can spend shopping, but I do like my butchers and I do miss the fish shop. brenda

We have Tescos, Lidles, coop, Asda and we have Aldies about to open. My main shop is at Asda, but my meat and cheese i get from Lidles. Shirley Ann.

Waitrose, does no one else shop there, because ours is always packed. Tabby

I like Asda, for quality and price and their bakery products are just like homemade but they have closed the cafe! I'm hoping it is only temporary as I believe they are extending. We have Sainsburys, Tesco and Morrisons, all within easy reach but Asda is always the busiest, I suppose that's why their products are always so fresh. We have markets within easy reach too but just dont fancy food items from a market. June xx

I go to Asda every week because it's only about 2 miles away. The George clothes are very good, especially the kids stuff. Our Asda doesn't have a coffee shop (a condition of planning permission) and it is a nightmare to get in and out of the car park as it's on a busy road. I usually go about 6.30 am and it's lovely - no crowds, shelves are full and freshly baked bread! We have a Waitrose and M&S in Epsom town (3 miles away) but they are both so expensive. Also M&S food shop about 5 miles away in Banstead. My nearest Tesco is in Leatherhead (5 miles) and not as big as Asda, although I do occasionally go to Sutton Tesco which I like because it has more variety. Yesterday I went to Farm Foods in Sutton to stock up my freezer - they are so cheap on branded foods. Our local Iceland closed down recently (I used to do my frozen shopping there) and the nearest one is 8 or 10 miles away so I don't go there now. I don't like going food shopping much, but have had bad experience of on-line shopping with Tesco and Asda and at least I can see what I'm buying when I go to the shops! Sue xx

I have to admit to a lie. I had forgotten until son drove in for petrol yesterday. We do have a MORRISONs in our town. It used to be something else, can't remember what. Then Morrisons took it over. Yesterday we went to TESCOs, but went to a pub for dinner. Deanna x
