Tesco

We were given 15 minutes to shop at the Tesco in York for alcohol. We went in and made our way to the aisle. I didn’t have time to browse but the place was gigantic. I can see why they are one of the biggest grocery chains in the UK. The alcohol aisle boasted beers, spirits, and wines from different parts of the world. The prices seemed reasonable so I bought some canned mixed drinks since we weren’t supposed to bring glass into the New Years Eve party in Edinburgh. The registers are plentiful and I wasn’t carded. Granted the drinking age is 18, so there was nothing to worry about. Our tour manager later confessed that it was fun to watch us all scramble and that 15 minutes was an unreasonable amount of time for us to shop. Noted. Thanks a lot.

I like this Tesco because it’s really big and there are normally loads of tills open so not much queuing to do. They sell everything you would need including clothes, electronics, all groceries, and homeware. Prefer it to the other big Tesco in York.

a large supermarket, and a great place for bargains, sells everything you would need cant fault it

This Tesco store is generally well laid out. It has a reasonably sized clothing department upstairs which has some great clothes at fantastic prices, particularly shoes and kids clothes.
In the main part of the store, as well as the main food and drink aisles, there are departments for books and magazines, homeware, kitchen appliances and other electrical equipment and seasonal sales.
If you can get in at the right time, you can pick up some good bargains, however, it takes a while to work out what the special times of the day are!
Don’t park in the carpark and go to the college as you’ll be fined £75!

Good sized Tesco extra store on 2 levels on the way into York on the A1036 just off York’s outer ring road (A64).
A fairly large Tesco extra with extensive ground floor food and non food areas as well as an upstairs clothing range and café.
Has a decent electrical, toy, homeware, sports and entertainement range as well as a full counter service along the back of the store along with all the usual fresh food counters (fish, hot, bakery, etc.)
There are loads fo tills and it’s usually easy enough to get through the check out quickly.
There are 4 self service check outs in this store.
Also has large car park, filling station and car wash. There is also a hand car washing service available in the car park. It is adjacent to one of York’s Park & Ride car parks with frequent bus services to and from the city centre.
