Favourite buys from certain supermarkets - light hearted

I do a weekly food shop usually at Sainsburys because it's near, but if I go to the larger Tescos there are certain products I can't get in Sainsburys anymore that I buy there which are:-

Blueberry breakfast bars - my mum likes them and so do I so I buy some to give to her when I see her.
Sunpat reduced sugar peanut butter
Tescos own hair serum £1
Tescos own sea minerals shower gel
Tescos finest ciabatta bloomer artisan loaf - the Sainsburys version isn't the same..
DD loves Foxes Party Rings in Strawberry and Banana which I've only found in Tescos!
DD also likes their own brand Potato Waffles - forget the usual brand - Tescos only will do!
and DH and I love the Strong Roots Kale and Quinoa and Beetroot and bean Burgers which I can only otherwise find in Waitrose!
Jacobs Cracker Crisps - sea salt and vinegar and thai sweet chilli - I could love on those!

Waitrose - it's as above - Strong Roots burgers.
Reel Fish tuna - the kind to tuna tuna
Aloe Vera toothpaste
all kinds of nice shower gels and bath stuff like Korres etc and often on special offer.

Is there anything special you can only get from a certain supermarket?

Sainsburys cookies, only place I can find biscuits that don't contain palm oil and even then the ones with chocolate are out of the question.

Morrisons white sliced bread, the only one that isn't like polystyrene tiles or foam sheeting.

Would have said Lidl for chocolate but the one (palm oil free) that I liked seems to have undergone a recipe change and is beginning to taste like crap and the nuts are hard like gravel. (It is the one in the purple wrapper, fruit & nut). Used to be really nice, thin I will be giving that up now.

Seconding Tesco hair serum, another thread put me onto it a year or so ago and it really is great. Little pink bottle, lasts for ages.

I love Tesco Finest sweet chilli crinkle crisps. They're garlicky and delicious, smell like Thai food.

I always buy from the Tesco Polish section 7days Garlic Bake Rolls and E Wedel Krowka. Bagel chips and soft gooey fudge, respectively.

Sainsbury’s cotton candy grapes
Sainsbury’s Tandoori chicken pizza

I drive to Aldi to buy tiffin, and to Lidl to buy pastries, they are opposite directions. Mostly I shop in Morrison's
