    Is this the best shop ever?

    I’ve never been in one before today…but they have got everything and all of it at half the price.

    Other than food I’m not shopping anywhere else in future.

    You can get a dozen toilet rolls for 64p :D

    I understand that it is still a family owned and run enterprise; not bad in this day and age..I bought a big day to a page diary for work last week at the amazing price of £2.48.They used to have shops just around the Leicester area but are now obviously nationwide…also very good to their staff; well worth supporting imo.

    I am a bit of a shopping snob and won’t go to places like Asda, Primark etc. because of the quality of person that shops there, but even I like Wilko’s enough to make an exception! VALUE

    Probably not far off the mark!

    I take it you’re an Asda man then :lol:

    There is no such thing in Jockland as a "chip shop", clivexx – we only have "chippies" up here.

    A "chip shop" sounds like the kind of place a dubious middle-class metrosexual from West London might frequent, after a day slumming it at the "The Bridge". :wink: :mrgreen:

    The natives are calling chippies "fisheries" around where I’ve landed. Makes them sound like some sort of exotic marketplace for all things seafood. In actual fact they just sell mushy peas and mint sauce, neither of which, I suspect, was freshly caught that morning.

    Clivexx comes from England, so he is superbly placed to criticise anyone elses diet based on where they come from. I must have imagine all those fat, toothless, sweaty drunks with can of John Smiths and ‘all English breakfasts’ from a country that a Scotsman runs. Infact talk about supermarkets, where’s Cli…oopsss i mean Dale Winton ?

    I eat nothing but carrots so i can spot who the clowns are with my clown-o-vision. My eyes light up when you enter the scene.

    Tell me why you’re always so angry Clive. Is it because you got knocked back because you were too small to be a flat jockey ? :lol:

    Wilkinsons? Good value.
    For fruit & veg (and much more) ALDI is streets ahead of Morrisons, Tescos and Sainsburys in price and usually just as good quality, often better. And, you get through the check-out in quicker time than the big supermarkets. Only minus is that there’s less of a choice. (Although if you like deep-fried Mars Bars, try ALDI’s Titan bars – every bit as good.)
    Get the snob blinkers off some time and give ALDI a try.

    I do shop at Aldi sometimes. Titan bars are VALUE

    Don’t think the Fruit/Veg is very good quality though
