Tesco Extra

Really bad. Bought some dough balls today. Opened the pack and they were mouldy.
I hope we can get our money back. Don’t bother going to it.

It’s super and it’s a store. What’s handy about this Tesco is actually, although the shop is huge, the food bit is comparatively small. So you can trolley round in a fairly efficiently short time. But what I like about it is the in-​store optician. You can get a pair of prescription glasses for £10!!! Ok, you have to choose style from the seventies, but for a tenner who cares?
There’s also all the gubbins you’d expect, pharmacy, electronics, home goods, home bads, clothes…
But this Tesco is where all the student’s go as the accomdation is very near here. So can be busy at beginnings of terms. It’s also often pretty hectic at the weekend with queues coming in and out of the car park.

I know Tescos is Tescos — well that’s not strictly true because there are different versions BUT this Tesco Extra is the size of a small village!
My cousin first took me here, knowing I’m a bit of a Tesco addict, and when we walked through the door, I just stood there like a kid in a sweet shop. It stretched to the horizon. It’s amazing, they have everything, well anything they don’t have I don’t want!
I half expected it to be a nightmare to buy stuff in but they have so many checkouts that you’ll probably get served faster here than Tesco Express.
I can see who this would be some peoples hell but its my heaven!

This is the superTesco. At the moment I’m avoiding it, because it’s going through a bit of a refit and it’s an absolute nightmare to find anything.
However, what they’re doing to the place is looking pretty good.
The clothes section, in particular has had a bit of a face-​lift, with a really fancy circular shoe section in the middle that makes it look like more like a high street store than a supermarket.
The downside of this Tesco being so well known and so awesome, is that everyone loves it and everyone is always here. This store is constantly busy, and there’s even a shockingly large amount of customers shopping in the early hours of the morning too. This is probably due to the fact that it’s very popular with students, with UWIC’s Llandaff campus down the road, Allensbank House halls of residence in the other direction, and Cardiff Uni’s Talybont Court just around the corner. Luckily for them, this Tesco is packed with Tesco’s value food, and a great reduced section.
There’s a bus stop just outside, too, making this one of the easiest superstores to get to by bus. You have to walk annoyingly far to get to the bus stop across the road though, and it is not recommended that you take advantage of the really huge bags of pasta Tesco sell if you have to get a bus home.

This is the mother of all Tesco’s.
I’ve been to a few biggies in my time but this one is the biggest I’ve seen. It’s probably one of their biggest in the country.
I you want to do all your shopping under one roof this is the place to come. You can buy everything here. Take your normal sized Tesco’s and times the variety by 5 and that’s this store.
So if you love Tesco’s this will be heaven for you.

This massive 24-​hour Tesco supermarket is on Western Avenue right by one of UWIC’s university campuses and also not far from Cardiff University’s big Talybont halls of residence in Maindy.
There’s a cash point, a petrol station, a car wash, a café, a pharmacy, 1-​hour photo processing, and even an opticians.
The supermarket’s car park is suitably huge as well, so there’s always somewhere to park — and inside the food aisles seem to go on forever. There is also a large clothes section with office-​type wear, casual gear, underwear, pyjamas, and even shoes and accessories.
Not the place for a quick shop to pick up the basics, but definitely one when you need a wide range of stuff, particularly if you’re after more unusual world foods that won’t be stocked at smaller branches, such as Afro Caribbean products.

This is a shockingly big Tesco and I can imagine if you were just after a few bits it would be a total nightmare, but despite its busyness I like it.
The main reason is the huge selection of clothes. I don’t mind admitting that I buy clothes in Tesco because they are actually quite nice. What i tend to find is smaller stores stock worse clothes so having such a big area is a bonus. Shoes I find to be especially good value in Tesco. Apart from clothes there are masses of stuff for the home too.
Food wise the selection is really good, they stock all different ethnic foods like Halal, Polish specialties and more. The fish counter is great at this tesco and as Tanya says the upstairs café is a nice quiet escape.

I think I disagree with the previous review. Perhaps it was my long time away from the UK and my longing for British branded products and supermarkets. Perhaps not. But I’ve always quite liked this Tesco, so I though I’d jump in a defend it’s honour.
As most people (namely students current and recent) will have noticed, not all Tescos sell Tesco Value products. But the large ones do, and this one certainly does. For the broadest range of products in the South Wales area (this may or may not be an exaggeration) then this is the place to come.
Half of the store is dedicated to food, while the other half is Everything Else. There’s even an upstairs café with a pleasingly hidden away little café that you can escape to if the shopping all becomes a bit too much.
Although it’s hardly the most conveniently located of Tescos around, this is, I think, the best.

The biggest Supermarket in Cardiff, this Tesco’s is just far to big for my likening! Sure they sell a wide variety of products in addition to the food, but the savings aren’t that great, I think they should focus more on the food!

A large branch of the ever popular Tesco branch located close to UWIC university. Lots of tills so you never have to wait long. Plenty of parking spaces although they do get filled at peak times! They stock everything here from food to clothes to electricals. Long opening hours also!

This Tesco is very close to Cardiff University student halls and so is often very busy. The advantage being that they tend to keep more tills open later. It has a café, photo shop, clothes, electrical, opticians, pharmacy and DIY section. And of course groceries! At busier times, you can find yourself queuing to get out of the car park.

This is a huge tesco extra. They seem to stock virtually everything, food, clothes, electrical, chemist, toys etc. It is always very busy an sometimes the aisles can seem a bit crowded. This is the store used to fill the online shopping orders for Cardiff and the surrounding areas so there are always lots of the big green
trolleys in the aisles. A good store if you want plenty of choice, but not the best for personal attention.

I love this store, easy to get to, usually easy to park and everything you could want, there’s no need to go anywhere else. excellent customer service too

Everything you would expect from a major supermarket and more. Pharmacy and optician. If you want it, you will find it here.

usual tesco layout and stock. clean and tidy and plenty of staff usual mixture good and others not interested.

If you’re in a hurry then perhaps its best not to visit this Tesco Extra store! It really does sell ‘everything under one roof’. If you’re prepared to spend a couple of hours here then you will probably manage to get everything you need, however, many a time I have left without getting everything from my list because it is just so big and so busy. At peak times the queues at the checkouts can mean that you have to wait a long time to get to the tills. On the plus side though, the Home Department is really comprehensive and really well priced. They often have lots of special offers like BOGOFs and 3 for 2.

Good value clothes & food, games, dvdss & music. They all do photo books online on their website. Photobooks let you compile all your photos onto an online album & you can then upload them, rearrange them on pages with different layouts, themes & colours, headings/​captions. You can then buy your photo book online & collect in store or have home delivered.

This is a masive 24hour Tesco store, you can get lost in here for hours and hours! they have the full range of clothes and home wares, and a lovely café upstairs to chill out in. Plus you will always find a parking space bonus!

Wide choice of food products, always deals going on, friendly staff

Tesco have very good deals such as buy one get one free, two for the price of one. The food is of good quality & tasty. Other than food they also sell a large range of games, cd’s & clothing as well as diy & sports equipment.

Ein Tesco Supermarkt, der 24 h geöffnet hat.
Der beste Tesco Supermarkt, den ich kenne!
Es gibt oben im ersten Stock ein Café — mit der Rolltreppe kommt man hin, da gibt es dann zwar mehr Fast Food, die Preise sind okay — und mal im Notfall kann man das ja machen. Es ist sauber. Alternativ bei Tesco etwas leckeres kaufen, dann im Auto Picknick. Mache ich auch öfter und gerne.
Dieser Tesco Supermarkt hat eine gute Käseabteilung, eine gute Wurstabteilung — auch guten und frischen Fisch kann man hier kaufen.
Die Obstabteilung ist okay, mit sehr viel Auswahl — leider ist auch hier fast das ganze Obst und Gemüse in Plastik gepackt. Das habe ich hier in GB so ‘was von satt.
An der Kasse gibt es Hilfe beim Einpacken, wenn man das möchte — und Cashback, Bargeldauszahlung — dieser Service hat ‘was, dann muß man nicht extra zur Bank.
Gute Kundentoiletten.
Momentan gibt es bei Tesco die risigen EASTER EGGS, Ostereier.
Gute Auswahl an Brot, Cookies, Muffins, etc. Auch frische Baguettes und Croissants sind hier erhältlich.
