Discovering the UK 2023

Buying Groceries Every town will have at least 2 supermarkets and many of the larger ones will include a clothing section and a pharmacy department as well. Supermarkets are stocked with a variety of multinational food as well as more traditional food. They are open seven days a week, with some locations even offering 24-hour service. Sunday hours are shorter. The main supermarkets in the U.K. are Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. On top of these, premium stores include Waitrose and Marks & Spencer and the German supermarket chains Aldi and Lidl also feature in most towns and cities.

Helpful Hint: Legislation in the U.K. requires that all supermarkets charge for each plastic bag, encouraging patrons to use reusable cloth/carrier bags.
