Supermarkets
The UK supermarket/grocery sector is very competitive, leading to a wide range of retailers and differences in price and quality. It goes without saying that in general the more you pay the better the quality. It is worth noting that food bought in supermarkets in the UK and Europe tend to 'go off' quicker than in the US.
Students can buy their groceries from a number of supermarkets in the local area. The main chains are Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Marks and Spencer. One can also have their groceries delivered to their home by the major supermarkets.
