tongue_tied_danny Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I wouldn't be seen dead in any supermarket. There's no way I'm rubbing shoulders with all the scabby b*****ds and piss cats who shop there. I go to B&M Bargains instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The £10 meal deal from M&S is brilliant value for money. Good quality food and the wine selection is usually decent. Tesco one can be good too and usually includes their ‘Finest’ Chardonnay which is very drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 My local M&S foodstore is superb for it's dedicated Reduced to Clear fridge. Bulk buy straight in the freezer once home, £40s-worth for a tenner. Pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The Giffnock thing sounds like shades of a story I heard that Milngavie was up in arms about corporation bus routes being extended to there post-deregulation because they'd "lower the tone of the area" i.e. somewhere that the local hive mind thinks is a bit posher than it actually is. We don't have a Lidl locally, but I've been converted after a visit to the local Aldi...beer selection is invariably good. Doubt we'd do the week's shop there ever - selection isn't that wide - but it's pretty good for snacky stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 My mate lives in a new bit in Bishopton and they have one of those similar facebook groups where everyone posts inane pish about things they could easily google etc. They all live in new houses so my mate said ‘im delighted to be moving into the estate’ the owner of the group replied correcting him that it was ‘an executive development and not an estate. People like that and the lidl fannies in giffnock need to relocate to the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Reminds me of getting a quote for a kitchen at MFI (RIP) in Pollokshaws and the salesman telling us that theirs' was the only unmarked delivery van that MFI used, as the snobs in Giffnock and the Mearns didn't want their neighbours to know they'd shopped there.

BallochSonsFan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I miss Wholefoods. The in store butcher was great and the bakery was superb. They stocked some brilliant stuff in the chiller cabinet too - properly tasty pickles, sauerkraut, beetroot and olives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t say it was a great deal, I said they were brilliant, as in the quality of the food. You get what you pay for, you want cheap slurp, go to one of the others ie Asda Tesco Morrison’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
