Review of Morrisons

The "special offer" supermarket 
Went to Morrisons for the first time yesterday and had a pleasant surprise. Although it was quite small they had everything you need and loads of "special offers" on in almost every aisle. Definitely the place to grab bargains and with the credit crunch and the cost of living getting so much more expensive, Morrisons is definitely the place to go.
The fish counter was amazing - they even had fresh octopus which I wouldn't expect to find in a supermarket - very impressive. I expected more from the bakery counter, a couple of gingerbread men and some fruit pies was not that impressive. The cake aisle had loads of special offers on lots of different branded products.
The cafe wasn't great. We ordered hot food and the menu said you had a choice of side salad or chips with burgers, but we were told that you could only get chips and side salad cost extra but they didn't have any side salads. We had to wait ages for the food and it was ok; ok meaning it was edible but not that tasty.
Overall I don't think I'd use it for a big weekly shop, but it is worth stopping here first and getting stuff you need that is on special offer or fresh fish from the fish counter - I'd still do the main shop at Asda and get cakes from Co-Op.

Review of Asda Stores

More than the weekly shopping here
I like this Asda as it has a big car park and you don't have to pay £1 for a trolley so don't have to worry about having change on you all the time - plus it is a very big supermarket and has lots to choose from. They recently renovated and created an upstairs for clothes and home accessories and now have a brilliant home electronics section where the clothes used to be located downstairs. Nice to go and have a wander around for other things not just the weekly shop.
