Alas this chain has not (yet) reached the south of England.

Cheap s***e though. They are at least 20-30% cheaper than Tesco over here.

And about that same percentage poorer in quality.

Hmmm - I *thought* the chain being referred to was Home&Bargain stores.

For which the post made more sense as they only (and their other branded 
stores) reach as far as Cardiff, Stroud, Northampton - or something like 
that.

What are you on about Phillip? I'm refering to Eveready downlight bulbs
they're the same in Asda as they're in H&B and anywhere else you can get
them,alas the price might be different.

Yes, it was.  Thanks.  ;-)

Sorry, I should have been clearer...

I was referring to identical branded goods (not own-branded) . Also, I have 
not noticed any significant difference in quality with their fruit & veg, 
although the same price difference still applies. Bakery products are the 
same - in fact, I think their bread is far inferior to Asda's - and more 
expensive.

I am not a great fan or either, but merely stating the facts.
