i think you are in Abu Dhabi, so can't help unfortuntely..

All the carrefour supermarkets are generally massive, so they will be much of a muchness. Spinneys are generally a lot smaller..

spinneys has all the UK food and is great but a lot more expensive, carrefour is massive and good, Lu Lu's hypermarket is brilliant, and hyperpanda is pretty good as well.

Last time I checked, Spinney's sold pork - Carrefour didn't......

Make a stand - BOYCOTT Carrefour.

(And Geant, for the same reason).

LuLu's also has the advantage that its nearly always empty!

I find the Fruit and veg at Carrefour to be very crap.
