Can't be doing with either of them. And I've tried them both.

I'm pretty much equidistant between a Morrisons, Waitrose, Sainsbury's, Asda and Tesco. Majority of time use Asda but use them all.

There are no Aldi or lidles near us so I use sainsburys or waitrose. Only because of convenience and ease of parking though.

I flit between them tho Morrison's increasingly as it's smaller than many, parking makes it easy to get in and out quickly. Tesco is a huge unpleasant bunker that has everything wrong about it. Low stock there and low quality for the wrong price. Liked their older smaller stores with cafes.

Sainsbury and Tesco are closest to me but I'd rather travel further to Aldi as it saves me about £30 a week. A saving of £120 a month is not to be sniffed at. Especially when you calculate the savings over a year.

Asda for most stuff and they've built a new one not far from where I do a cleaning job, Tesco's occasionally, Morrisons for my bread as I happen to like their own brand brown bread.

Thought Aldi was not all that and certainly not that cheap, not impressed with Lidl and its also not really convenient to me

It varies. There are certain things I buy from specific supermarkets.

Soft drinks I get from Asda (because they use Sucralose not Aspartame).

Tuna I buy from Sainsbury's when it's on offer. Their own brand tins are 200g undrained rather than 160g or so of most other brands.

Things like washing liquid I buy from wherever has it on offer.

I'm fortunate to have Asda, Tesco, Aldi and Morrisons fairly close. I also have easy access to Sainsbury's and Waitrose once or twice each month.

There isn't a decent Lidl nearby though.

Aldi for 90% Asda for the other 10% we cant yet get at Aldi, the food at Aldi is really good and getting better and the range is growing too.

Morrisons mostly, they're a reasonable balance of choice and convenience.

Asda & Lidl just depress the hell out of me, so I don't usually bother.

But I won't set foot in Tesco's - I hate everything that they stand for and their heavy-handed attitude and business practice.
