Me and Mrs Bandage are doing the Christmas food / drink shopping at the weekend, but the question is, where to do it?
Do we go to Morrisons for the buy one get one free's, (and have the store pretty much to ourselves!), or do we brave the hellhole that is "The Asda" (why do people call it that?)

Basically, where can i get the most alcohol for the least amount of money! (legally!!!)

We are off doing ours as soon as the shop opens on Sunday morning. It is Tesco for us but we do have around £80 worth of vouchers to use

Aldi, and quality.......two words that are rarely used in the same sentence!

i will be doing ours with the good lady one night next week, work interferes this weekend thank god. be 'the asda' and iceland (hope i dont see kerry katona or i'll be kicking her in her katona). got some big stuff today so i can make more room for lager next week

Sorry....'Mrs.Bandage' made me laugh!!!!

it's probably called asda 'cos of the big sign they put out the front. Just guessing like.The probably fell off

Sarcasm rules

Christmas shopping is one long obstacle race, innit? bit like the Krypton factor without the prizes. If you're not getting stuck behind old ladies in morris minors doing 19mph, it's business men in bloody great BMWs that take half a dozen manoevres to get int car-park spaces.

Then there're the people who meet their entire collection of family and friends in Tesco's doorway, and stop everyone else getting in, and the people who hog the meat counter, phoning home on their mobies to ask what sort of sausages to buy. And it's always your queue where the person in front is paying by cheque and insisting on laboriously filling in the stub before moving on. And your other half will never tell you what he wants for Christmas.....

all this,
and still
no
Cornelius....

Although the labels on the stuff may be in German/Dutch/whatever, it is generally top notch stuff.

I used to work with a load of Germans/Austrians and they did their shopping in Aldi and Lidls, reckoning the quality to be far better than Tescos, Sainsburys or whatever.

I don't get much from there meself, but the pickled things are unbeatable, and the black forest ham from Lidl is very tasty.

Done mine is Tesco yesterday morning bloody £236 and the mrs tried to blame it on me buying too many beers (how is that possible), but failed to mention the £50 she spent on 2 bottles of champagne

Glad I had me vouchers

I just don't understand these people who spend 100's in Supermarkets in the run up to Christmas!!!!
You'd think the shops were gonna' be shut for weeks but they'll only be shut for 2 days at the most!!!!

stupid

I was behind a woman in the queue last year who had 12 6-litre bottles of milk.

How big is her fridge?

Does she have about 50 cats?

Does she only go shopping once a month?

Or is she just a rarf?

I just wanted to get stuff in early to save me going back at all over Christmas it is always heaving. If we need fresh stuff I will just go to the mini Tesco round the corner

It wasn't a dig aimed at you Mr.Fens!!!!

I know that, I hate shopping at the best of times but at Xmas I just get annoyed at the hoardes that decend on the supermarkets. Anyway I got me shortbread which I am happy about

Always baffles me that, after all it's only a glorified Sunday Dinner, the usual excuse is...."we're expecting visitors" ...who? .... the Household Cavalry..?

yes Mr Nottingham, she is a RARF
