Jan. 12th, 2026 08:25 am12. In 1948, the first Supermarket in the UK opened - the Co-op, the country’s first permanent self-service store, in East London’s Manor Park. Do you use one specific supermarket to buy groceries, and do they have a loyalty card scheme you belong to? How does it work?
Yes, I do my weekly shopping at one store. They are close to my house, easy to get to from swimming, well stocked, and clean. They do not have loyalty cards; sales are open to everyone. I do not buy meat or fish there though. If I want those, I either go to the farmer's market or an organic store.
