Somerfield and other Lampeter, United Kingdom General Tips

Favorite Thing: I know, I know. Listing a grocery store as a tip might sound strange, but it is an essential part of my life here in Lampeter. Somerfield is the closest grocery to the university, unless you count the Spar. (But it’s really tiny so you can’t so any major shopping there.) For the folks at home, it’s not as big as say a Super Kroger or Super Winn Dixie, but it’s fairly large. They have a good alcohol selection, vegetables, meat, and bread section. If you get there at the right time all of the bread and stuff is fresh so that’s nice. The handbaskets are free to use but if you want a cart you have to insert a pound into the slot. You get it back when you return the cart. Just remember, there are things that we have in the US that can be really difficult to find. Like macaroni and cheese together in one box. Or tomato soup that is not creamed. Prices are reasonable, especially if you go there often and know when to look for the specials.
