Budgens

Thieving and dishonest. Unfortunatelly closest shop to my flat. Today was probably 5th time they have asked me to pay an incorrect price. No surprise its always more than it should be. I avoid going there as much as I can. Do not use this store if you can. Be aware and check what you are paying if you have no other alternative.

Great shop, so friendly, with everything essential in good supply. Great beer and wine selection, snacks as well as produce andmeal options. Very local and engaged in the community.

Named brands overpriced, more expensive than M&S,and other stores. And other food on sale here is also overpriced and low quality too...yes it's a convenient store but mark up on products is ridiculous!!!
Over £3.00 for a bottle of coke/pepsi, bacon more expensive than M&S ( and you only get 5 slices), £2.00 for a loaf of bread,
I dont mind paying extra when the quality is good but really object to paying over the top prices for low quality food from a brand no one has heard of..

Unless you have lots of money and don't care too much about quality

Rude staff, aisles so packaged you cant move & prices unreal so expensive and some food items were out of date. Horrible experience all round

Extremely rude staff, especially the older guy who works night shifts, didn’t accept my ID (citizen card) although all the other corner shops accept it, at first tried to make my friend pay although it was obvious one of the drinks were for me. Let me pay eventually after arguing.

Constantly change prices and overcharge that my friend and I had to physically show the staff from the till the actual price. Useless service, don’t recommend.

Always close before 11 10.30 at best. As a regular customer who spends over 150 pounds a week there.not helpful when you need calpol for A child at all.

Google maps led me to believe that Budgens tops up pay as you go British Gas payment cards!
Thank you so f🤬🤬ing much Google!
That's twenty minutes I'll never get back!

A separate issue concerning Budgens and covid 19.
Yes there's screens, but I've seen it in most shops that, wherever possible, payment by card is preferred!
As previously stated, that's twenty minutes I'll never get back!
They probably take cash only because of fraud with debit and credit cards.
I was prepared to pay in cash because there is a atm machine a couple of shops down from Budgens on the same side of the road.

Great store with friendly staff, very wide merchandise range considering size of store, highly recommended.
