Tesco Stores

Tesco Basildon Pitsea Extra is a very large supermarket that stocks not just grocery products but also a lot of non-​food goods. To be honest Tesco isn’t my favourite supermarket but I still find myself going there to do my shopping as it’s conveniently located and is open 24 hours during the week which is pretty handy when you want to buy some food & drink late at night. I only recently found out that this branch sells alcoholic beverages 24hrs a day as it has a 24 hour alcohol licence. I had always assumed that alcohol was not available to buy at night until I came across 24 Hour Alcohol Essex (
) which lists all 24 hour off licences in Essex (that stopped me ordering from the pricey alcohol delivery services in Essex). Just remember that it’s not open all night on Saturday or Sunday nights but it is open every other night of the week, including Friday night. The one thing you do have to watch out for at Tesco is the prices at the checkout as they are often more expensive than the prices listed on the shelf labels, which is very annoying!

This place is huge; it has everything you can think of. In fact that’s probably its problem that it may be too big to find everything. But in terms of ever needing to go anywhere else for anything you won’t need to. There is plenty of parking too with a multi story just out front and nowhere is too far from the store to take a trolley full of shopping. But seriously though, the store does have pretty much everything from doormats to 50inch TV’s, power tools and of course all the food that everyone likes. Would dread to think what it is like in there at Christmas though!

This is a very large Tesco superstore and has everything you could possible need or want. There is a huge amount of free parking as you would expect. There are plenty of staff who always try and help if you need it. This Tesco has a petrol station outside and petrol prices are aong the cheapest in the area. Plus you will get clubcard points too. Inside there is an excellent entertainment section with DVDs, CDs, electricals and elctronics. There is also a fairly decent café inside too which is handy for a quick bite to eat. All in all well worth a visit for your weekly shop.

This is an enormous Tesco that is easily the best in Town.
Departments include your normal fruit & veg, fresh fish and meat counters, a bakery, clothing, toys, electrical, stationery and entertainment (DVDs etc). There is also a Café.
There are more tills in this Tesco that I have ever seen anywhere, and they are very prompt in opening more if a queue builds up.
There is also ample car parking, which curves around the whole store.

This is a Tesco extra store with a wide range of goods. The entertainment section is on the 1^st floor next to the café that serves a good selection of foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Clothing is also upstairs. Everything else is downstairs. A vast store with an excellent range of products. There is a petrol station and recycling bins, and ample parking outside. This store gets very busy on markets days. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
