Supermarket choices

[CreativeCrochet]

My DP and I are at that awkward in between stage of not living together but trying to head that way, so I'm going to start spending more time at his place. We both have a child each that lives with us, so they'll all be there too.
That's not the issue.
The issue is I shop at Tesco and he shops at Asda and we both hate the respective supermarkets!
I offered to buy food for this weekend as I'm cooking dinner Saturday night for us all, he instantly refused and said he'd get it. Purely cause I'd be getting it from Tesco.

How do we navigate this transition phase? He is 100% adamant he won't entertain eating food from Tesco. He reckons he ate food from there and it made him so ill it's put him off for life. I'm not keen on Asda but don't have a valid reason other than it doesn't cater for the regular things I buy. I have tried!
Anyone got any wise words that don't involve me just rolling over and giving in!

This is why I'm so glad me and DP are Sainsbury's through and through.

Seriously though, just find a different supermarket to both go to. Or have separate fridge freezers and scowl at each other any time the other eats something Tesco or Asda branded.

Thank you! He has eaten food from Tesco when he's been to mine and lived to tell the tale

Do you know what, for this weekend I'll give him a list and he can buy it, saves me some money. Going forward, can see we'll both have to compromise but realise that's a process. We've both been independent for a long time, him twice as long as me. In the greater scheme of things, this really isn't worth causing an argument over

Show him your club card vouchers! I've saved enough for a holiday!

If their is this much debate about doing the grocery shopping god knows what will be next. I couldn't hack it. Next it will be the brand of toothpaste or brand of colour bags. Honestly I would be rethinking whether I want to live my life like that

If be shopped at Waitrose this would be a thread on Mumsnet 😂 I'd live with that!

You will struggle to live together if you're falling out over supermarkets pre-move.

Tbf I don't think it's that weird that people have their supermarkets.

You should just pick a new supermarket, delivery, or go Asda. Then go tesco for your must haves from there.

I used to be tesco but I shop hop now

I have the same situation I shop at Waitrose he goes to Lidl. We both hate other supermarkets but somehow live together.

Aldi is your friend

Go to booths / Morrisons / Waitrose instead

Just go to Sainsbury’s, Aldi or get Ocado delivered maybe.

To be honest if my partner refused to eat anything from Tesco I’d be seriously questioning how his mind works and it would put me off him slightly for being so stubborn and ridiculous. It may not be his preferred supermarket and he wouldn’t shop there but to refuse to eat a meal you cooked with ingredients bought from there is utterly ridiculous.

It’s the car parks which help me decide which supermarket I’ll shop at. However I must admit that I loathe most (not all) Asda car parks so tend to avoid them.

Doesn’t bode well for the future if you're arguing over such a pathetically ridiculous non issue. Would you not rather stay living separately and just enjoy dating without drudgery like this?

Go to Aldi

Sainsbury's is better than them both, and actually cheaper in my opinion
