This is my local shop, and is basically on my doorstep, which is great when I can’t be bothered getting out of my slippers!
It recently converted to a key store, which means the prices have sort of evened out. It sells a small selection of groceries; mainly tinned foods and packets, although there are two freezers containing pizzas, chips and garlic bread to name a few. You can also buy pet food, medicines and toiletries, aswell as magazines and newspapers.
There is an alcohol section which has a pretty comprehensive selection of beers and wines, ideal for a pre-​party drink or for a gift. Behind the counter, cigarettes, cigars, lighter fluids and stationary can be purchased.
One of the best things about the shop is the cold meat counter, which sells some of the nicest meats I have tasted. You can also get rolls made up and tea and coffee, although the selection is limited. It’s convenient and easy for me, like I said; it is literally a minutes’ walk from my back gate. Most of the staff are friendly and happy too. A downside is that you can’t switch your groceries unless they are over £10, which can be a hassle for me as I rarely carry cash.
