does your LO wear jeans to the park, softplay etc?

[misspriss]

I really don't think anyone has to worry about looking chavvy I've been wearing joggers all week and is hasn't made me want to stab someone or rob a sainsburys haha xD

LMBO, I was eating soup and this made me snort chicken broth out my nose. These people sound great.
Does anyone know-- is sainsburys a walmart, a sheetz, or an asda? I keep seeing it referred to on these boards to find things and it seems like they must sell literally everything.

Well Asda is owned by walmart....so I'm guessing they are similar. sainsburys sounds like a similar type store? UK has so much more variety in "stuff" stores, Tesco, sainsburys, asda, aldi...(I have no idea if these stores are in the same class! I have just heard about them) here it's walmart or target...of course there are probably more options when you don't live in the home state of walmart...

[Wriggley]

I have never heard of leggings or yoga pants being chavvy lol

 

[NoodleSnack]

While we're on this subject and comparing the differences from.country to country, I was wondering if anyone could tell me...


...are yoga pants the same thing as leggings? Haha! I've been wondering for a while

Yoga pants are looser.

Not all of them are, some yoga pants look like they are pasted on, lol. I'd say most yoga pants are more form fitting on the upper leg/waist, and looser on lower leg, but I've definitely seen plenty of people with yoga pants literally pasted on and wonder how they even got them on. Like tighter than leggings. Parts are visible, like butt crack, lol.

This is a chav and their LOs look like that in miniature.

Thomas is currently wearing angry bird joggers he's at his disability play group

 

[Lauraxamy]

My daughter wears leggings, doesn't really wear joggers and she doesn't really wear jeans either, she's very girly so she wears a lot of dresses/tights/leggings. My son has a few pairs of joggers from Next and some jeans that are 'jogger style' so they're really soft he also wears chino style trousers a lot which are comfier than jeans, he has a couple of blue pairs of those. He does have normal jeans too.

Just in my town (a small town) we have a tescos, a morrisons and an Iceland. In the larger town next door there's a giant tesco, a giant sainsburys, a smaller sainsburys, a smaller tesco, an asda, a morrisons, an Iceland a lidl and an aldi!

Misspriss ... In terms of class I think it goes:

Waitrose
Tesco / Sainsburys
Morrison's / Asda
Lidl / Aldi

And lowest down

Icelands / Farmfoods

I think anyways ...

 

[misspriss]

We have like small stores, and grocery only stores, but as far as stores where you can get food and other stuff? It's really just Target and Walmart, and they go in that order. For grocery you have Kroger and some smaller places like Harps, and specialty stuff like Whole Foods.

I would swap morrisons and tesco around haha. Also lidl and aldi are apparently becoming middle class ???

Fair enough ... I've never been inside a Morrison's

I actually don't even shop at any of those, I shop with Ocado and no idea where that fits.

We have a couple more of the huge everything type stores where I live: Meijer, Super Kmart, Walmart, Target

Grocery stores have tons of options here:
Kroger, Apples, Giant Eagle, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Marcs, Heinens, Earth Fare,

Then there's Aldi, Save-a-lot, and Marcs that are the bargain stores

Yeah, probably anywhere outside of Arkansas...lol. When I say walmart, I mean we have 6 supercenters within a 30 minute drive of my house, 1 neighborhood market, 1 non-supercenter regular walmart, 2 sam's clubs...I think I got them all. We used to have k-mart, but I'm pretty sure they've all closed. I'd love a Trader Joes...

Felix: you forgot the Co-op.

Tinkerbelle: you'd be surprised how many people who earn 50k and more a year shop in Lidl and Aldi. Where I live, where you shop is often seen as a status symbol. God forbid anyone would admit to shopping in Lidl or Iceland but you see them there. We don't have a Sainsbury's, a Waitrose or a Marks and Spencer's. The Co-op is seen as the right choice, but it charges twice or three times the price Lidl or Aldi does. Shopping in Lidl is frowned upon, but when the combined income is less than 20k a year, you don't even consider going to the Co-op and you find Sainsbury's downright ridiculous.

 

[felix555]

Ughh AnneD you reminded me I also forgot m&s! Only the most important one to me in my life

 

[sequeena]

Don't forget m&s either

I think ocado is high up it doesn't deliver to my area which is not the poshest!

 

[MrsPear]

Yeah aldi and lidl are more middle class nowadays in that it's 'acceptable' to shop there. Being savvy with a bargain is very desirable. When I was a kid no one would be seen dead there, same as primark. But now people mix and match more. So the same person would go to waitrose and also aldi.

M&S is opening a food hall at the bottom of my street, I'm going to be bankrupt!

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

We only have a m&s food and a bigish Waitrose in my village. Asda is bit further (15miles) and next village has a bigger tesco but its not a 'supermarket'.
