Saturday 5th December 2015 - City Super

There’s yet another addition to my ever-lengthening list of addictions.

Shopping in City Super.

It’s hella expensive, but I tell you what, it’s hella-bloody-worth it.

Pros

1. CURVY ESCALATORS. If a sexy piece of machinery doesn’t get you hot under the collar, then I don’t know how to amuse you.

2. Free samples. Take your time checking out every nook and cranny of the supermarket, and you can reduce your purchases by at least a quarter. The other day I indulged in some smoked salmon upon arrival, bagged some beef and caviar en route, and rounded the whole experience off with some cookies and chocolate covered popcorn.

3. Salad bar. The only way to get me revved up about a salad is by arming me with a pair of tongs and a plastic container. Plus, after you’ve browsed the buffet you can top off your shredded carrot and croutons with some super delicious City Super creations. We’re talking sweet potato, pumpkin and beetroot. Not the run of the mill Caesar salad rubbish.

4. Spacious aisles. The fear of being flicked into an oncoming trolley is non-existent in Citysuper. Multiple people browsing leisurely in the SAME AISLE (amazing if you’re used to Wellcome’s cramped conditions) is all the rage, and boy does it feel glam. The sort of place where everyone wears camel.

Cons

1. Bank account suffers when daily Citysuper fix is required.

2. Waist line also suffers due to shoving free samples in your mouth like a rogue chipmunk.
