Can you taste the difference?
I went to Morrisons the other day as my car is playing up and didn't fancy driving to all the way to Waitrose.At first I was surprised at how cheap food is there - Salmon on sale at £8 KG (3 fillets for £3.50 !). So I bought two lots.
OMG THEY TASTE LIKE WATER!!
I guess that's intensive farming for you!
Most of the veg was equally tasteless.
So, can you taste the difference between quality food and the cheaper 'stuff'?
. Very reasonable are their prices.

I can't afford Waitrose prices, but I recently went into a new one in the area and found two items I can't buy anywhere else locally. Can't say I was impressed by the lack of selection on other items but, it was a very pleasant store to shop in.I can't comment on flavours but I can see why people shop there.

I will never buy 'Value' products in a supermarket. I can also tell the difference between butter and margarine and the butter and oil stuff in tubs. Yuk! Only butter for me!

Re: Can you taste the difference?
I can tell the difference with many things .I once went to Morrisons, (it smelt of rotting fish
) and was delighted to see reasonably priced pineapples and melons.I bought one of each, they were horrible, I could have been eating turnip.
A bargain is not a bargain if you can't eat it.

I've always shopped regularly in Aldi but only for a few bits and bobs but that documentary was an eye opener, they even failed basic safety precautions!It was aired on Channel 4 - 16th Nov, you could try searching for the prog if it's still live or via Catch up tv if you have it

Re: Can you taste the difference?
At least your population allows you to have choice. Here in Tasmania (where there are only half a million people) we only have two supermarket chains (Coles and Woolworths) which are almost identical in choice and price and the choice is pathetic compared with the UK. Ready meals on the scale of the UK are completely unknown. And there is nothing remotely like M&S food halls.I love the English supermarkets when we come on holiday. You would find the range of items here very limited.
