Sainsburys

Advantages: prompt delivery
Disadvantages: Website is slow, substitutions are not specified accurately on the receipt check list

...The site loads quickly and is regularly updated. Sainsbury?s website uses the traditional white background and orange colours. The site appears bright, clear and inviting. Before you decide to register with the website, you should check whether Sainsbury?s online will deliver to your area by entering your postcode. If they do, then you can proceed to shop. Unlike many other websites, the information required isn't intrusive. You do need to supply a phone number which is useful if deliveries are delayed, or the driver is having difficulty in finding your house. On the occasions that I have ordered my food drivers have called for directions, whilst letting me know that they are delivering early!! When you have completed the registration process, a message will state that you can start home shopping with the standard delivery charge...

TU at sainsburys

Advantages: nice clothes in a variety of sizes.
Disadvantages: None.

...I don't normally tend to shop in Sainsbury's which you'll know if you've read my reviews because almost everything I review I seem to get from ASDA, but that's only because it's very local and has low prices. I pop into Sainsbury's when I'm local and I do realy like their clothing range. The womens sections sports lots of different styles and has clothes for plus sized ladies or petites. The clothes are modern and fashionable and You can buy everything really from tights, socks, knickers and bras to t shirts,jeans, skirts and footwear. Tu also sell a different accessories like hair clips and cheaper jewelery which I think is nice to wear at work when you don't want to wear your best. All of the items are affordable and I think everything is worth it's cost there to be honest. The mens section has trousers, jackets etc, but being single...

Sainsbury's Online - Highly Recommended

Advantages: Very easy to order, good customer service
Disadvantages: None really

...I have a Sainsbury's store less than 2 minutes walk from my home but I've been using sainsburys.co.uk (which is listed here as sainsburys.com for some reason - it's the same site by the way) for grocery shopping for about 12 months now. Why order online when there's a store so close, you might ask? Well that's because basically about once a month I order items for the office such as can drinks, tea, coffee, cereals, fruit, dishwasher supplies, cleaning products, etc. When I'm ordering 20 boxes of cereal and 100s of can of soft drinks and tea and coffee in bulk, I'm certainly not going to be able to carry all that myself when we can have it delivered straight to our office kitchen! THE SITE The site itself is very ORANGE obviously to go with their Sainsbury's logo which itself is orange, I try not to concentrate...

SAINSBURY'S FOR SALE

Advantages: wide range of stock
Disadvantages: prices are higher

...One of the things that is annoying about living in this Suffolk town is the lack of shopping facilities. Yes we have the obligatory woman?s fashion shop and we can even push to a Burtons and Woolworths. But when it comes to food shopping the town severely lacks (along with health care, leisure facilities etc). Indeed when it comes to shopping for food, you have the following choices: Aldi, which is okay but you can hardly ever get the same thing two weeks on the row, and some of there items really do lack any quality. Next up is Co-op, which is run by a prat and that shows throughout the way the store operates. However, Co-op does offer some good deals, and shouldn?t be dismissed out of hand. And finally we have my favourite ? Sainsbury?s! Sainsbury?s in my opinion is a great store, they generally offer good quality items...

DOES GOOD FOOD REALLY COST LESS IN SAINSBURY'S?

Advantages: Good Quality Produce. Fewer Check Out Queues. Good Electrical Bargains. The Best Trolleys
Disadvantages: Limited Clothes Range. Some Items Still Expensive.

...WHO ARE THEY? Sainsbury's are the UK's third largest, following Tesco and ASDA, supermarket chain. They have a long and illustrious history in this market, starting much like their competitors from very humble beginnings. Sainsbury's was founded in 1869 by John James and Mary Ann Sainsbury, who opened a dairy shop at 173 Drury Lane in London. At that time it was one of the poorest areas of the capital which had a population, then, of around 3.5 million. The partnership was successful and their shop gained a reputation for selling top quality produce at good prices. By 1882 there were four London branches - they then opened a much more up-market store in posh, more rural Croydon, this too proved a quick success. By the turn of the twentieth century they had 48 shops, employing 950 staff. Remarkably in appearance, they...

Sainsbury's - my favourite supermarket

Advantages: Good offers, good quality
Disadvantages: None

...Out of all the supermarket 'Big Boys' - Sainsbury's is my favourite! There are a number of reasons for this. One reason is that Sainsbury's is very close to the town shopping centre where I live. I can park on Sainsbury's, do my shopping in town and then get my groceries. I really like the layout of the Sainsbury's store. I can find everything easily. It is not too big, nor too small. The decor and the lighting are attractive (I find Tesco's floor pattern not very appealing!). Overall I find it a very pleasurable shopping experience. I also feel that the quality of the fruit and vegetables, meat and bakery products in Sainsbury's are first class. There is a wide selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, including organic and Fairtrade items. There are always a good range of offers in store, particularly in the meat section...

A basic wholemeal bread from Sainsburys

Advantages: Reasonable in price, nice tasting bread
Disadvantages: The soft crust and thinnish slices may not appeal to some.

...Review of Sainsbury's Basics Wholemeal Bread The Product I am reviewing Sainsburys Basics Wholemeal Bread, one of the many lines introduced to the supermarket's budget range of foodstuffs and household goods. Packaging, Storage Advice, Taste and Texture The 800g loaf of medium sliced bread is simply packaged in a transparent polythene wrapper. The wrapper bears the distinctive Sainsbury's Basics logo in a white font on an orange flash with the product description in orange on a white flash. The wrapper also carries the ingredients, nutritional values, allergy advice and storage instructions on the reverse. The packaging can be recycled in larger branches of Sainsbury's should your local refuse collection not cater for polythene. This bread should be stored in a cool dry place away from sunlight and strong odours. We keep...

Review of Sainsbury's Basics Wholemeal Bread

Sainsbury or not Sainsbury? - that is the question

Advantages: Helpful staff
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...So far, I have written opinions on Morrisons, Asda and Lidl, so I thought well why not do one on Sainsbury's (especially as my local one has just been refurbished)? So here goes.... *** Store Layout *** The layout in Sainsbury's is typical of any other supermarket. The first thing you see as you go in is the produce section, selling everything from strawberries and apples to pre-prepared salads. Everything looks very fresh and is well presented and clearly priced. Just past fruit and veg. is the chilled section, selling milk, yoghurts, meat, pies and chilled dinners. At the back of the store is the delicatessen, and at the far end, past the various aisles, you'll find wines and spirits and frozen food. *** Selection and Range *** Sainsbury's not only have a good selection of well-known brand names, such as Kellogg...

Sainsbury service in a different name

Advantages: quality service from a trusted name
Disadvantages: delivery options

...advantage of the special offers some suppliers were offering I placed my order in early January. After much mouse clicking and linking to other sites I finally found 6 companies that had the appliances I wanted, with availability and at a competitive price. So from these how do you select a winner; on price, reputation, service? They all came in around £20 difference on price and all had stock of the items. In the end I chose Sainsbury's as they had all the items, offered 10 day delivery (although I did not require them until mid February) the delivery charge was £19.99 per delivery and I was on for 1600 nectar points which meant I got nearly half the delivery charge back anyway. So onto the website and order the appliances? Well that's where we find out who we a really dealing with. Sainsbury's Home Appliances is run on their behalf by...

Super Sainsbury's Supermarket

Advantages: Friendly staff. Easy to find offers.
Disadvantages: Needs more locations. Only one half of Sheffield covered

...I enjoy the experience of Sainsburys supermarket. The layout is good with wide aisles. It is my favorite supermarket, there are always recipes. The majority of their food also has a suggested recipe on it. Some good offers and unlike Tescos are placed at the end of aisles so you can find them easy. Bank holdiays are good as they always have 25% off their TU range which includes clothes and homeware ranges. The staff are always keen to help you if you can't find something and take you right to the item. Easy to find things and a pleasurable supermarket to look around and there isn't very big queues at the checkouts and mistakes are easily rectified. The meals for under a fiver are quite good and tasty, and its good fun trying to make one. You can also get nectar points on your shopping. I just wish their was more than two big ones in...
