Shopping in Style

Advantages: Durable and Fun
Disadvantages: None really

...Chad Valley Shopping Trolley Shopping in Style My daughter celebrated her 2nd birthday (which I couldn?t believe! How time flies!) at the weekend and among all her lovely presents, she received a Chad Valley shopping Trolley from Argos. ***************** PACKAGING ***************** I have found with the Chad Valley range of toys that they don?t use excessive packaging for their toys, which means that you are not paying extra just for the packaging which is always a good thing. The trolley comes in an average sized box, big enough to fit the small trolley into and nothing else (though not a tight fit at all). The box is in green colours which I have found runs through many of the Chad Valley imaginative play range so easily recognisable and very eye catching which is why Argos is good as the child can not see the items and want...

Review of Chad Valley Shopping Trolley

As well as a trolley, a learning experience too.

Advantages: Teaches so many different things.
Disadvantages: None.

...Trolley. ****************************** I bought this shopping trolley for my god sons birthday and decided it was such a good toy that I had to get one for my daughters birthday. The leap frog shopping trolley is like no other toy shopping trolley I have seen before. It comes fully fitted with a scanner and game settings which I will tell you about shortly. This shopping trolley is mainly green and yellow in colour with some blue and red and is made of strong durable plastic. Also with your shopping trolley you recieve ten items of shopping as follows; (all of which are mad out of strong, durable and colourful plastic) 1 carton of milk 2 chicken drumsticks 3 banans 4 carrots 5 packets of cereal 6 eggs 7 cherries 8 cup cakes 9 green peas 10 strawberries All the items of shopping have some...

  Tales of the Shopping Trolley

Advantages: Good looking, well spec'd, decent performance, excellent fuel economy
Disadvantages: Not as well built as you'd think, rock hard seats, squellie wheels

...controlled air conditioning is simple to use, giving a good flow of cold air in the summer through very large central vents. My dad says the heater is too slow to blow out hot air when it?s really cold outside, but I can?t say I ever noticed. ON THE ROAD The combination of an automatic gear box and a diesel doesn?t sound very promising for good performance but it is surprising nippy. Although you won?t be racing sports cars at the lights, the quick changes means it goes well enough. The perky performance small steering wheel does sometimes leave you feeling like you?ve just been driving a tuned up go-kart rather than mum?s shopping trolley. Although the going is generally good, the automatic gear box occasionally makes some bizarre choices of gears especially in kick-down mode where it?s pretty jerky and unrefined. The biggest moan...

Trolley-tastic!

Advantages: Small, lightweight, hours of fun, cheap
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...My little boy Harry has been dragged around the shops with me since he was about 3 weeks old. Consequently, he rather loves sitting in the big supermarket trolley being Daddy's trolley helper when we do our weekly shop. So when it came to thinking of things for Father Christmas to bring Harry, we couldn't quite resist buying him this little trolley! The trolley is made the company Smoby, who produce a large range of children's toys, available in toy shops and all across the internet. The trolley comes in the colours of light blue and a lime green, with fetching red wheels. The wheels are held on by plastic screws which are nice and sturdy and rotate smoothly, and squeak free! It also has a sticker on the side of the basket which reads "Let's Shop" in case us mummies and daddies forget what it's for! It is made of sturdy plastic...

Review of Smoby Supermarket Trolley

A trip inside Duskmaiden's shopping trolley

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...Food. Yummy. It seems to preoccupy me and I seem to spend a lot of money on it so I thought I would answer these questions set by Jillmurhpy and French Can Can. Q1: If your yearly food budget was £100, how much would you say you currently spend in big retailers ? eg supermarkets? Explain why you spend so much or so little there? I must admit far too much. I would reckon it would be about £90 of my food budget is split between Tecos, Somerfield and Iceland. I shop in them as they are near by and thus quick and easy to get to.I do occasionally buy from a local butcher as they do nice cuts of meat although i was not that impressed with their own sausages. In Dumfries we used o have a wonderful buther that did intersting tasty sausages but I think that butchers is now shut down.and sometimes buy fruit and vegetables from...

My Shopping Trolley

Advantages: Economical, cheap, good acceleration in 1st gear
Disadvantages: Not desirable in the slightest

...dealer, as no one else understands them and thus, cannot leave the garage without a minimum bill of £100 - no matter how little is wrong!). I wanted a cheaper to run car. I test drove a few smaller cars (inc. Punto & Saxo - both with better images than the Micra!) and was quite amazed with the acceleration of this shopping trolley (believe it or not!) and inside the car was quite spacious. Because my Micra is so small and the 16v engine helps a great deal, I find I can pull away much faster than many other cars. 1st and 2nd gear are brilliant! The car is very much a city car - the pull on long runs is very slow (definitely not a motorway car). I used to go on the M6 quite regularly in it - quite a scary experience as you do not have much bonnet and much pull up the hills! But it managed! I have the 4 door version (I needed this...

Review of Nissan Micra 1.0

Fetch me two trolleys!! I am going to shop!!!

Advantages: All items of clothing for very reasonable prices.
Disadvantages: Pyjamas shrink in tumble drier!

...I thought she could choose something special this time. The meal was lovely and very filling. You know the type! Like a Sunday dinner and all you want to do straight after is have a nap while the food is slowly working its way back out. Wont go any further on that matter!!!!!!!! Anyway through the Primark doors we ventured and looking around I hadnt before realised they sold bedding, and towels, and curtains, as well as clothing which when I examined was surprisingly good value and quality. My friend chose her birthday boots and I bought some underwear for my daughter and I. Two pairs of pyjamas I bought for my daughter which were shorts and vest top, a new dressing gown each for myself and my husband. I was really starting to get carried away now and feeling extremely chuffed with myself for saving lots of money by shopping...

Review of Primark (Shop)

Off your trolley not to shop here

Advantages: OOOH loads
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...meals and at some point every brand gets it's turn. Usually the offer consists of buy one get one free but there are other offers as well. Every Morrisons store has it's own bakery, delicatessan, pie shop, cheese stall and the delicious, hot cooked chicken counter. Some of the larger stores even have their own fishmongers, restaurants and indian curry counters. The prices are very competative and if you shop wisely like i do, then you can walk away with goods worth over double the price that you paid for them. The store is very clean and tidy and the staff members are very friendly and always willing to help. The choice of brand name goods and Farmers Boy goods are vast, much better than most supermarkets that i have been in. If you have never been to Morrisons before, then you may as well give it a try and see just how much you can save...

Review of Morrisons (Shop)

Shopping without trolley bruised ankles...

Advantages: Quick, easy, less impulse buying
Disadvantages: Delivery price...

...With my car having failed MOT this week, and my father in law and husband unable to work on it for at least another week, I was stuck with the prospect of either going to Somerfield on the bus (awkward, and they are too expensive) or get a home delivery as the cupboards were bare. First stop, I tried Iceland.co.uk, who I?ve registered with before, but they didn?t have a delivery slot available for a few days ? I need bread NOW! I then tried Asda.co.uk, my best of best for grocery shopping, but they do not deliver to my area yet. But, I did register, and they will let me know via email when they do cover my area. So, it was over to trusty ol? Tesco. I had to register first and foremost, which took all of 30 seconds to do. I remember having a browse around the site about a year ago, and it was as I remembered ? clear...

Review of Tesco.com

Off My Trolley

Advantages: Good prices, good range of products
Disadvantages: Long queues and not enough trolleys!

...AAARGH!!! Am I the only one who finds this so very annoying? Why, oh why, has my local Tesco never got enough of those little trolleys? You know the ones I mean - the ones that are about one third the depth of your regular, family shop trolleys. They are much more suited to older people, or single people who don't do a massive shop, and they are so much easier to move around. When; by some miracle, I have managed to get one and unloaded my shop into the car, I have found people almost jumping on me to get at my empty trolley. Obviously everybody wants one!!! Why don't they get more??? (As you might have noticed, I'm starting off with the bad points about Tesco and saving the best till last.) Another thing which makes my blood boil about my local Tesco at Sidcup, Kent; is this "one in front" business whereby they promise to open...
