to be looking forward to a new supermarket opening

[ApocalypticBlackHorseman]

We have a new supermarket opening this weekend, AIBU to look have been looking forward to it for about two weeks now?

[TheTerribleBaroness]

Def not being U! There will be loads of special offers and balloons for the children. :)

[BrokenToeOuch]

Depends on which supermarket!

[obviouslyneedsupernanny]

This is the sort of thing that excites me too

[Pippintea]

Another Tesco? YABU
Aldi? YANBU

[GobbysMum]

No are not BU. I took the day off work when the one in my town opened. It was our first proper supermarket. It was packed, no offers or ballons though.

[Pobblewhohasnotoes]

We've had a new tescos open and as much as I hate tescos for taking over the world, it's so much better than the old sainsburys. Sad really.

[UnicornCrisps]

Of course YANBU! Is it massive? Will you do a day trip?

[ApocalypticBlackHorseman]

Oh no, it's a small one, and not even exclusive - but not tescos :)

[TheTerribleBaroness]

They're building a Lidl where I live. We already have an Aldi, a Coop, and three other supermarkets. (Think Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose equivalents, but abroad). The population is about 17,000 including outlying villages. I keep wondering which will close first.

[BumpyGrindy]

YANBU! We have a Waitrose opening down the road AND we're moving next month and will be in walking distance of that AND a new Aldi! I'm in heaven! Caught between the upper and lower reaches!

[BumpyGrindy]

What I am gunning for next is an Ikea. We are in a PRIME position I tell ye! Apparently the Waitrose site was ALMOST an Ikea. What that tells me is that they're shopping around for a site!

[BrokenToeOuch]

gobbys I laughed so hard at you taking the day off to go to the new supermarket!
But which supermarket is it OP? I can't properly decide if YABU if I don't have the full facts.

Sainburys

In my town there was a big campaign after a major supermarket beginning with M closed its store. They kept the lease and wouldn't let anyone else open up on the site. Local campaign got them to open up again. It was v big news and I was inexplicably quite excited when the new store opened. It was the talk of the town.

[Finola1step]

Oh so YANBU

[whitepuddingsupper]

When the aldi in my town opened people were queueing down the road for hours before opening to get the special offers. I went for a nosy in the afternoon when it was quieter but I was quite excited by the shiny newness so YANBU.

[Fairylea]

We have an aldi opening in a few months time. I am ridiculously excited. Dh teases me about it :)

[WooWooOwl]

YANBU. I am the same every time a new supermarket opens near us. There have been three new ones since I've lived in this area, about 10 years.

I don't get all the angst around new supermarkets, even when they are Tescos.

[WilsonFrickett]

I'd organise a ticker tape parade and take a week off if a Waitrose opened near me!

[thanksamillion]

I'm going away for the weekend to a neighbouring country on Saturday. The thing I am most excited about is that there is a Lidl there

[breatheslowly]

YANBU. Waitrose opened near us on my 8th birthday. I am still fond of Waitrose.

[Jinty64]

We have a new Aldi opening next week. It is within walking distance and close to other facilities I use most days. I am ridiculously excited. I even have a voucher!

[flossy101]

YANBU. M&S food came to is last year, I was beside myself.

[Pippintea]

flossy m+S food came to us 2 years ago too. I have put on 2 stone!
