A recession poll

Okay, let's see if I can get it right this time ...

[Poll #1304836]

All 3 of our supermarkets (Tesco, Morrisons & Sainsburys) are high street ones (albeit quite big, with their own car parks in 2 cases, and 2 being at either end of the high street and probably technically just off it - they are definitely NOT out of town though), and don't forget that Sainsburys and Tesco very cleverly diversified back onto the high street with their local/express versions too. They've got most areas of the supermarket between these 3 & in some areas Waitrose.

We have a foody M&S too but I don't quite count them as a supermarket (or go in much).

I know what you mean though.

I think Iceland will do well (and despite their rebranding of themselves rather tackily a few years ago, they do actually do good plain food and removed a lot of different unhealthy ingredients from their ready-prepared stuff too). Sadly our Iceland left town so we don't have one, we used to get all our basic frozen meat, veg & potato products there as well as sometimes cheese, milk and a few other things - much cheaper and the same if not better quality than the comparable items in Tesco, where we also shopped at the time.
