If you could live very close to one shop, which would it be?

[JMSA]

I can’t lie, Home Bargains. I just love it.

Costco! Sadly am a 2hrs 45 mins drive away from one.

A good bakery and butcher/ deli

M&S no question

Mixed frozen seafood, pork shoulder steaks, cheese and bakery.

Lidl or Aldi but they sell cigarettes and vapes and open 24 hrs.

M&S or Home Bargains

I live a 7 minute walk from the city centre that has most of the high street shops mentioned here. I walk through a large M&S food hall to and from work every day as it cuts a corner off my walk. I also have John Lewis another 1-2 minutes further on. The reasonably big Primark is closer.

I’ve got 2 cinemas, a small theatre and 42 pubs within 10 minutes walk.

Are you jealous? 😁

I can’t think of a shop I’d need closer! Erm, TK Maxx? That’s a 10 minute drive away.

Can I have 2?
Home Bargains and Waitrose. HB is brilliant but a long drive so I stock up, I’d love to be able to nip in more often. There’s no Waitrose at all near where I live, so that would be a treat especially to find reduced specialty stuff

IKEA, for the meatballs. It's a 2 hour drive to IKEA for us.

M&S Simply Foods. 😋

Do you want me to pick an aisle?

Waterstones, but then I'd have no funds left for shopping!

Just a decent traditional bakery, in fact I can’t think of a non wanky bakery anywhere anymore

I live in walking distance of an M&S Food and I LOVE it.

I live about a miles walk from a Waitrose and M&S and quite a few clothes shops but I do wish we had a John Lewis

A food superstore such as Tesco or Sainsbury’s because that is the shopping for food is my most regular shop. I like to get fruit and vegetables almost daily so they are fresh.

Burford Garden centre

Waitrose, the one in the town nearest has good reductions and I always get a free coffee

There's a traditional bakery near my daughter's school but the only nice cakey things they do are macaroons, and there's ALWAYS 2 cars parked immediately outside of it so I can't park there while my baby sleeps (id have to use the village car park and take my sleeping son out the car)

I used to live a literal 5 minute walk from Waitrose. But that was the ONLY good thing about where I lived. I’d like to be able to reach Aldi and M and S Food on foot - they’re about a 10 min drive but I can’t drive for medical reasons and it’s too far on foot

Where i live is a stones throw from a
Aldi
B&M
Morrisons
And a Polish shop that sells the most amazing cakes, spices, meat etc. I am very lucky but I would happily swap b&m for a Home Bargains- i love taking my time going down each aisle. Edited to also add, I wouldn't mind a m&s food hall too lol

The bakery is shit. But most people don’t have good taste

I live a 10 min walk from Lidl, B and B and Food Warehouse .. it’s so handy and they aren’t expensive shops so I don’t overspend. Even though I prefer Sainsbury’s for grocery shopping, I don’t want it nearer as I’d spend a fortune!

A large Waitrose

There’s a fabulous independent green grocer that isn’t quite in walking distance. Getting there is doable but they lugging the haul home isn’t.

Feeling a bit sad reading this, we all used to live within a ten minute walk of bakers, butchers and a greengrocer.
