Iceland (Shop)

I don't think I've written a review about a store before so this is a new area for me. Iceland is the supermarket whose tagline is "…so that's why mums go to Iceland"! They have those annoying adverts, the most recent of which feature Kerry Katona who I think used to be in a girl band some years ago. Did you know that Iceland was set up in November 1970 by Malcolm Walker and another retailer with an initial capital of just £60 for the first month's rent with a store in Shropshire. Initially Iceland sold loose frozen food as domestic fridges and freezers were not yet commonplace. Both retailers ... more

I have been buying for from Iceland for years! As my headline says; i really would be lost without Iceland. They have some excellent offers on. It is frequent to get reduced prices; BOGOFF offers; Half price foods. They have all sorts of offers and you really can buy quite a lot of foods at Iceland cheaper than in many of the supermarkets. They have some amazing deals on their frozen foods and on the well known brand frozen foods too.

Although the town I live in is quite small, we are blessed with almost all the big supermarket chains, some of which I use more often than others. Icelands is one of those supermarkets, and the one I use to stock up my freezer. My local store is situated in a retail park a few minutes from Clacton town centre and a handy 5 minute walk from my home.

While I have used other branches I'm going to focus on this particular store as it's the one I've used most recently. I don't use ... more

You see quite a lot of adverts on TV lately for Iceland, showing the voluptuous Kerry McFadden, and various kids, relatives, and hangers on all tucking in to sumptuous banquets of profiteroles, cheesecake and chicken satay. You hear boats of reliable home delivery, fair prices and suchlike. But how true is this to the actual experience of shopping with Iceland? Iceland isn't my main supermarket. Usually it’s Asda. But lately my shopping habits have changed, simply because I now have a boyfriend and seem to alternate between spending time at his and time at mine, often not returning to my own ... more
