Tesco Express

Wow, ok another 4 star review for a supermarket chain. But sometimes you’ve got to just get down to the nitty gritty of everyday life. I shop at Tesco, and there are a plethora of them in Edinburgh and in the surrounding Newington area. There’s literally two 100 metres apart on Nicholson Street. And these are the ones I normally frequent.
However when I was walking in the other direction (away from town) to visit a friend and passed this Tesco Express in Causewayside I actually was noteably impressed by the stock and products they had. Innocent Veg Pots for example. All other Tescos in the area only have two flavours, neither of which I’m fond of. This Tesco has almost all the flavours. It also has fresh olives, which the other Tesco doesn’t. It’s the wee things like that that make a difference when you’re doing your grocery shopping.
Forgive me the rather dull review, but I did feel it worth noting that if you’re in the area and are doing the weekly grocery shop it’s worth going to this Tesco that the others in the area as there are a lot more produce available.
Now I can have my swwet potato chilli veg pot for lunch, win!

Once, our mothers and families were the source of sustenance and comfort, warm food and the survival instinct bound tightly into a family unit. Get a little older and we realise where Mama gets her groceries.
Now Tesco is mother to us all.
If we were suddenly to be cut off from all possible sources of supermarketing, we would experience acute bio-​survival anxiety just as though we would as an infant separated from its mother.
