I think you would have been within your rights to frequent Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi.

If your caravan has room for a freezer then go ahead.

It's also 'Lidl, where you can get a cheap angle grinder to go with your pot noodles'
We had a Lidl around the corner from us and I did use it occasionally for fruit and veg. Always had to have a look at the famous centre aisle to see what randomness was on sale.

I think the only time I experienced a Lidl was on some road-trip, maybe not even in the UK... and being very bemused/confused by the range of items in stock. Always wanted to live near one after that... but no such luck.
Lidl, where you can get a cheap angle grinder to go with your pot noodles
...is a pretty spot-on description

@Kruse doesnt that apply to the likes of ASDA and Tesco too?

Not in the same way... the Tesco "megamarkets" - sure, are pretty much a supermarket with a department store as well.
ASDA - don't know...
But Lidl - it's just the sheer randomness of the shit. It's not that there is EVERYTHING, like there is Tesco. But there'll be frozen octopus-shaped potato nuggets, and nothing else, in the freezer. And next to that, a shelf of angle-grinders, but no other power-appliances whatsoever. -
@Kruse dont think I had the pleasure of a Lidl when I was there...Aldi, Iceland, Costco, but not Lidl...
There was another, which was the little shop round the corner from where I lived, always remember soon after arriving in the UK seeing a box of Steinies on the shelf for £20, buying it and asking when they'd get more, they said never cos it never sold...
Is a shop up here called Crackerjacks up here, some real random stuff, some quality parallel imports though.
edit - was Spar I think?

PS: ASDA has huge stores where you can buy anything and a great fruit & veg selection.

We used Lidl once - thought the quality of their stuff was crap. The metal-working vice I found next to the tomatoes was good value though.
Morrison's are really in the same league as Tesco & Sainsburys but concentrate more on food rather than clothing etc. Have inhouse bakers and butchers who have great quality meat and bread selection. Terrific cheese selection as well.
