I always thought Sainsburys was a place for snobs and rich people. I thought they overcharged for their products. I have held these thoughts for years and it wasn't till I went on mysupermarket and compared prices on some stuff I buy that I realised this was largely false. For example, wholewheat pasta was 41p where everywhere else was over 60p. That said, this has changed recently and now Tesco is 41p and Sainsburys is 60p. I think it's a matter of shopping around.

I suppose that others must have been dissatisfied or happier elsewhere as well! The Sainsbury's group also founded ...

For clarity's sake, I'm going to review the Sainsbury's store I shop at most regularly, which is Castle Marina, Nottingham. This is one of the larger stores that boasts a dry cleaning service, a photo service, a postbox, ATMs and a Starbucks outlet. I have to say that of these services, I have only used Starbucks, which whilst being open for shorter periods than Sainsbury's itself, generally has good service and a typical SB environment. One of the disadvantages of this Sainsbury's is that they never seem to order enough food, and consequently there is almost always a shortage of popular products, such as hummous. Although I regularly buy fruit there and they ...
