Tesco (in town) is my “corner shop” for the basics but - whilst not a fan of supermarkets per se, I do my main shop at Asda.  I have literally just returned from there - now calming down with a coffee + chocolate chip cookie (only 1, and I don't mean the packet!) - and the staff are much friendlier.  Bought Wall’s Carte d’Or ice cream which is £2.97 - Tesco is now £3.45.  I paid £2! It’s the lovely Mascarpone ice cream - ummm!

We prefer Morrisons - prefer their bakery things and their meat is a lot nicer.

i found i saved over £7.00 on a shop of £50 compared to the others,which is a great saving to me. tescos are getting more and more expensive by adding 30-50p on some items,i expect a small price increase by not that much. i dont mind morrissons for some things,again like you the bakery bit....(.i must find where these places are as i dont know yet as only moving on sat.)i do enjoy the "thrill" of bargain hunting though in town,i will walk from 1 end to another to save a few pence!!!

Morrisons is about two and a half miles south of the bascule bridge just off the A12 on the South Lowestoft Ind Estate.

There is talk of another Morrisons opening somewhere at the north end of Lowestoft in September, think it is where AHF is now.

There was also talk i.e. rumour - that Sainsburys are supposedly interested in going there - I'll keep everything crossed that it's them and not another Morrisons in the town.  Remember - variety is what is needed! Wink

Tescos have outpriced itself for me apart from a few bits if passing. Asda mainly but Iceland in town is a lot cheaper on a lot of commodoties although it doesnt sell everythig, also Aldi and Lidl are good value if you have a car to get to them

My Lowestoft supermarket experience is extremely limited, but I like ASDA over the TESCO downtown. I have never been to a larger Tesco or Morrisons so I really can't give an opinion. But how fresh is the produce among the Lowestoft supermarkets? Price is important, but I think so is freshness and quality. To me it seems that ASDA is pretty good in both, but I wonder if that is a correct impression.

I have heard rumour that Sainsbury are going to go where Focus was in Lowestoft.
