Advantages: Clean and inviting stores with excellent layout, great variety of products, good staff

Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than some of the major supermarkets

I have only been shopping at Sainsbury's stores for a couple of years and on a fairly infrequent basis for minor shopping rather than to pick up my main grocery shopping but I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of their stores and their staff who always seem happy to help and friendly.
The stores I use are both city centre ones and I have always found them to be well laid out stores which are bright and welcoming with well stocked shelves and plenty of staff available to help you. I have always been impressed with the amount of products on offer and am always keen to go by their section with fresh breads, cakes and cookies and always love to pick a little something up whenever I am passing by.

Positives:

- Nectar points on purchases
- Good product variety
- Excellent quality fruit and vegetables
- Clean and inviting stores
- Well maintained self scan tills with it rare to find one not working
- Good staff levels and quality
- Fair value for money and not much more than other supermarkets
- Regular offers
- Well laid out stores

Negatives:

- Slightly higher prices than some of the major supermarkets for some items

All in all I enjoy shopping in Sainsburys and if I had one closer to my home then I would be likely to shop there fairly regularly but as is I am still happy to go in and shop there whenever there is a need for anything and I am in the vacinity of one.

Summary: I love shopping at Sainsburys and always find it a nicer experience than other supermarkets
