Where do you shop?

Tesco and Lidl.

But when im feeling fancy i sometimes go to the local farmers market and get some salmon fillets and steaks.

um, is someone doing market research on here or what?

Yeah, I think the mods are doing some sort of user demographic thing, then we're going to get advertising banners on the forums.

There must be at least hunter gatherer surely?

Where I get my grub.

1.) Eat out

2.) Buy stuff from my local small indpendant shops locally (I don't drive.)

3.) Buy from Sainsbury (Jump on a bus/walk)

4.) Stick two fingers up to Tesco's.

Funny I was thinking a long the same line about doing a poll myself.

well mostly i go to tesco, but i refuse to buy fruit, veg or bread from any supermarkerts; i get it from the local green grocers and bakers. I'll go to the local health food stores as well. Mainly tesco for tins and burgers and cartons of things. I used to get an organic veg box but then they stopped delivering.

Does this make me a middle class hippy? I really don't want to be I only earn peanuts, please don't call me middle class

Forgot to add that a lot of our tins/jars come from the local (huge) 99p shop -- well worth a look. They have enormous jars of pickled peppers, chilis, etc & all for 99p (obviously ).

asda, aldi, kwicksave, morrisons, local grocers for veg, people i live with have got stuff off the market and skipped food if theres any going although the last lot had to be chucked out cause all the doughnuts were stale.

captain mission and beanis brought shitloads of skipped sprouts to my mums house a while back. she was really pleased.

Tesco, well its open 24 hours .

As an example of a rip off, I used to live in the Orkney Isles, went up there 4 weeks ago for a weekend and needed coffee same stuff i get in tescos was 50p dearer in sommerfield in kirkwall, now aint that shocking if that doesnt incite a revolution nothing will.

Somerfield is shit. Once they told me I had a job there, but then forgot to EVER ask me to work. What a shame.

i spend as much as i can on good quality food, so i do pop in to waitrose from time to time, for fruit & veg and stuff as there's no markets near me and tesco's stuff is always synthetic rotting shite, so on that basis waitrose works out cheaper as i don't have to throw half of it out when i get home

plus the checkout chicks in waitrose are more horny looking than most places

it seems to be a fairly british thing/perception that if someone eats good (poncy?) food they're middle class to fuck, but everywhere else in europe everyone spends loads on good food even if they have not much left over for anything else. My gf's famliy don't have much money but they spend a huge proportion of it on decent food, to the extent of forgoing things like washing machines, satellite tv, ipod's, "cool" clothes, etc etc

sun dried tomatos and olive ciabbata in every pot in my revolution

Just moved house to right by a greengrocer and a butchers so I'm now using the shops I live by instead of cycling off to Tescos. I reckon it's increased my food bill by around £5 per week but the food, the meat especially, is infinitly better. Friends came round last night so cooked an awesome leg of lamb and had lovely black pudding and bacon this morning all of which were much better than anything Tesco's sells including there expensive ranges.
