Morrison's - what is better from there than anywhere else?

241 replies

We don't have a Morrison's nearby but will pass one on way home from a night away so will do our weekly shop there.
We'll just be getting stuff we need for the week, but then wondered if there is anything you all think is better from Morrison's than anywhere else?

Plants, they usually have a plant of the week for £1, climbers under £2. Organic chicken is better value than other supermarkets. Wonky veg!

Plants and meat. I find the fruit is always really short dated in our one and they never seem to have many yoghurts!

Their deli counter is usually very good. And their fresh salad pasta bits are too. I like Morrisons always spend too much though. Not because it’s expensive but because it’s all so nice.

Their meat and fish are excellent. They regularly do obscure cuts you can’t find anywhere else so it’s great for trying new recipes.

They have a really good ‘world food’ section as well. Only place I can find gochujang for kimchi.

The hot food counter. The ready done roasties, chickens, sausages and chicken pops. Kids choose something and eat it on the way homeGrin.
Also like the fresh breads from bakery.

They do the Spanish ailoli comes in a yellow tub near to the homous and dips.

They currently have 1kg packs of cherries for £4 which are lovely.

Their grapes are good.

Try the Morrison's own brand nice crisps.

Sofrito if you normally shop at Sainsbury’s.

I think there own brand horseradish and tartare sauce are better than anywhere else.

They do a nice whole grain muesli. They used to do the best kabanos I've ever had on the deli but ours has stopped. Free range chickens are often on offer so are on a par with Aldi price wise.

And a random one. I bought their own brand carrot cake making kit to do a last minute birthday cake for DH once. It was amazing. I've bought that a few times.

Own brand premium dried pasta. Interesting shapes, and lovely texture when you've cooked it.

I rarely go though, as the one near me is vile. A shame.

Bread. “Finest” ground coffee. Own brand cat food (I have this on good authority- not personal experience)

The wonky veg box is a hilarious lottery if you do an online shop - one week you can get great things like leeks and savoy cabbage - another week I got three swedes and one carrot, one onion and few spuds. To be fair you can be pretty sure if you order it in winter there will be at least one swede in it.

They sell things that other shops round here don't stock - eg. real marrows in the autumn, soda crystals, kidney, proper shoe polish in a tin. I don't know why tesco /asda etc feel that people don't want these things anymore. Though hat tip to Sainsbury's for stocking cream of tartar (which Morrison's, Asda,s Tescos didn't have).

Sausage rolls. They are my secret vice!
Next to the hot food counter they do mahoosive sausage rolls, 2 for £2. The meat is good - the texture is that of real meat, not unidentifiable munge - and the pastry is lovely - crisp and not greasy.
They do orthodox sausage rolls but also fancy chorizo or toulouse sausage, too.
