For some people I suppose it's affordable, and they need to feed their families. I doubt that makes them a minger?

As far as I know, I have Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and M&S within 10 minutes of me, either walking or driving. I call each one The Supermarket and visit whichever is most convenient at that time although I must say, I will make a special trip to Waitrose for their double cream!! It is heavenly!!! Tesco has the worst double cream of the lot. Utterly tasteless. In case you’re interested.

My good lady, I bet to differ. It is Fortnum’s or, on an especially lazy day, Fort’s.

It’s certain products. For items that are available in any shop, I’ll go to whichever I happen to be passing. It’s the ones that are own brand or fruits, etc. I think M&S has good quality fruits and Waitrose has a good selection. Sainsbury’s has a nice location and Tesco is huge. That type of thing.
