Today we're looking at the very best supermarkets available in Glasgow - and ranking them accordingly.
Rather than your traditional data-driven affair, looking at affordability, availability, or accessibility - we're looking at the experience of it all, the pageantry, and the supermarkets you can attend around the city that are more of an event than a chore.
There's no piece of housekeeping we loathe more than going for a big-shop, but when superstores around Glasgow offer the likes of hot food stations, sushi counters, post offices, pharmacies and even ice cream bars all in an effort to vie for your attention and brand loyalty - there's got to be one that wins out over the others.
Some supermarkets have even resorted to celebrity appearances to boost their profile amongst Glaswegians - take the 2002 Pop Idol runner-up, Gareth Gates, for example - who did a meet and greet back in Asda Govan in 2007.
Event-shopping - that's the concept we're all chasing for in 2024 - we've eschewed online shopping after the lockdowns, being told we can't go outside made things like going to the shop the highlight of the day - and that feeling has stuck around somewhat now that we've all been set loose again.
In the interests of fairness, we've included one of all the major supermarket retailers - meaning you won't see more than one Tesco on the list, as appealing as Silverburn and Rutherglen branches are - so any supermarket you see is the best of their bunch in the city.

5. Morrisons Calton - 5 Barrack St
Morissons on Barrack Street makes it this high on the list for two reasons: It's Irish section where you can grab Barry's Tea, Tayto's and other classic Irish produce - and of course their cash machine, which is the only one near the Barras which doesn't charge a fee. | Contributed
6. Polish taste Calton - 129 London Rd
For the very best in central European baked goods, fresh juices, and cured meats look no further than Polish Taste on London Road. Whenever I'm popping down to the Barras from the City Centre or vice-versa I make sure to stop in here for a juice - it makes the trek that much sweeter. | Contributed
7. Aldi High Street - 140 High Street
When I first walked down High Street I thought 'What a silly place to put an Aldi' - now I'm never out of the place. A great place to do your big shop if you're a resident of the East End, they've usually got some great deals on too if you head down before they close for the day. | Contributed
8. Booker cash & carry - 154 Craighall Rd
It's not often that my travels take me to a cash & carry, but it's a worthwhile experience nonetheless. If you're ever hosting a party make sure you head down here to get all the supplies you'll ever need (i.e. massive amounts of booze and crisps). | Google Maps
