If you want to shop a little cheaper, but go a little further (13 miles) then our nearest budget supermarket is Aldi in Diss. It is right near the Mere Park for a breath of fresh air and in the town centre. Market day in Diss is a Friday. There is a Morrisons nearby and a Tesco just along the road.

Beccles is a lovely town, with quite a few independent shops. It also has a Tesco, Morrisons and Iceland. A walk by the river can be combined with some shopping. Drive to the Quay first (free parking) for the walk. Parking at Tesco is free for 2 hours so you can combine popping into the town centre with grocery shopping. Lidl is a little further out so not so easy to walk into town, so a visit as you head back, is probably best. It opened in Dec 2019.
