This was our first time at a Tesco. Going to these British grocery/convenient stores was a cool experience after hearing so much about them. It might sound boring just going to a food store but it's interesting to us to see all the little differences.

yeah just ignore all the express/local/extra tags etc, we Brits know all supermarkets by two types : there's "little Tesco" or "big Tesco". the little one is like nipping in to a corner shop for essentials, big one is where you do your weekly shop, same applies to the other supermarket brands like Asda/Sainsburys/Morrisons :D

It often boils down to which supermarket sells the cheapest/largest bag for life bags and those that sell the insulated frozen food bags. I pre chill mine in the freezer at home and take a frozen gel pack as well in them. Never dispose of the free ones that come with online frozen and chilled food purchases from online farm/butchers shops when delivered by a carrier/parcel service. Tesco (main stores) here even do insulated bottle bags for wine, large enough to hold two bottles of bubbly, ideal for that picnic or the hot journey home. They're free in my local Off Licence but the same wine is almost twice the price! Wider choice and more knowledge though.

Tesco express is much more expensive than a standard Tesco store. The larger supermarkets are mostly built away from the town centres, and are designed more for car drivers doing a weekly shop. In recent years several supermarkets have diversified into "express/local" stores to compete with the independents and mom & pop stores. This followed a decline in shoppers that would only do one big weekly shop, and the increase in online shopping.

@GlasgowMick50 Жыл бұрын

The "bagging area" is a scale. They have a database of the masses of every item, based on its barcode. So, when you scan the item, you have to put it in the bagging area, so that the system can verify that you didn't try to pass something like an apple for a pineapple.

Nandos food is Portuguese style Piri-piri (as we call it here in Portugal). The chicken symbol of Nandos is the Cockerel of Barcelos, a Portuguese legend.

I've lost count of the number of times I've put things on the wrong side after scanning (it changes with every shop) and there's no worse words than "unexpected item in bagging area" and having to wait for a member of staff because it decided your chicken or whatever doesn't weigh what it's supposed to or there's no price in the system (Morrisons I'm looking at you and the 2 months someone had to come and manually put in the price!). If everything goes well they can be pretty quick and easy though.

Bigger tesco's have a handheld zapper to scan barcodes as you go which in theory makes things faster at the checkout as you can bring a folding crate in with you, pack as you shop then just pop it into the boot of the car. In practice you get selected for a random check almost every single time you go and buy stuff.

In a big supermarket the cheese is like £2-£3 so its definitely alot cheaper then America and it's way higher quality

@etherealbolweevil6268 Жыл бұрын

The problem is it does not fit the bread perfectly and has a flavour. There are laws in the US to prevent decent cheese. Land of the free - as long as you aren't a cheesemaker.

Not sure what time you visited this shop but it does say it closes at 11PM so perhaps you could've gone later. Pre covid many Tescos were open 24hrs 6 days per week with shorter opening on Sunday, our local Big Tesco was. Currently the Tesco web site says it closes at midnight but is already closed at 8PM. I suspect their either back to 24 hrs or close at midnight.

Hello Ethan and Angela. I was brought up in area without a Tesco, but discovered them at university. They are everywhere in UK now. I spotted yellow reduced stickers and also Seabrook crisps that I had previously commented about, the latter being from Bradford, like me.

@anthonyscott4270 Жыл бұрын

Seabrook crisps are great but the packs are little lighter than most. I am a blood donor and after a session I have a drink and some biscuits, but I always get a pack of Seabrook's ready salted and take them home to put them on a salad sarnie.

@alansmithee8831 Жыл бұрын

@@anthonyscott4270 I was surprised at ready salted. After growing up with the flavour of the varieties, other crisps seemed bland. I suppose your choice shows the crisps taste better too. Having only known them as what crisps were when Ethan and Angela's son's age, I would say that though.

The "bagging area" is basically a weighing machine - it checks that the weight of the item matches the identity from the barcode, to try to prevent fraud by scanning a cheap item when you're actually taking a more expensive one. That's why it throws up an error if you don't put the item you've just scanned into the bagging area.

There is a Tesco Megastore near me.. I am not sure its actually classed as a "Megastore" it's just what we call it when we are referring to a location.. "Near the Mega Tesco".. Its cheaper and about 80-120 times more floor space than a Tesco Express. And even the stuff like Coke, is stacked about 12ft high.. Still nothing compared to the 24ft high racking shelves they have at Costco.. but still pretty high.

"I don't know if I should..." * YOINK * Yep, that's so me. Also, those self scan machines work by weight, so that's why you have to put your scanned items onto the thing; it's supposed to recognise if you're trying to pinch anything (hence the immortal line "unexpected item in bagging area - remove this item before continuing" 😀).

Chocolate wise, Lindt is fantastic, I've been told it's much better in Europe than the US (by people from US). In Sainsbury's and Waitrose you can buy Tony Chocolonely, Dutch company, so good. Also, you should a Pasteis de Nata, they are Portuguese custard tarts, they were in the bakery section. You should see if there is a bus out to your nearest Tesco Extra, much bigger range of everything. M&S and Waitrose are the high end supermarkets, quality is generally better but more expensive.

Have you guys tried an Aldi or Lidl? As other commenters have pointed out, you keep visiting the 'local' branches of larger supermarkets, which isn't a very good representation, though the "big" Tescos and even the Sainsbury's are a fair walk from the city centre, Sainsbury's perhaps is more accessible if you go along the walls towards it. Foss Islands isn't too far, which houses a Lidl, and a Morrisons which I've been told more closely resembles some American supermarkets with its deli counters etc.
