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?

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

Depends on which supermarket!

This is the sort of thing that excites me too

Another Tesco? YABU
Aldi? YANBU

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

Oh so YANBU

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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