Sainsbury's

The downside is Sainsbury's is that in general it seems to be a bit more expensive than other supermarkets so as best I can, I try to avoid them to be honest. However, there are still some bright sides.

Atmosphere:
Nothing impressive, slightly cramped to be honest, especially when comparing to Morrison's or Asda builds.

Variety:
Like I said, Sainsbury's tends to be a tad bit more expensive than your other supermarkets, so in this particular location with loads of supermarkets to choose from, you'll rarely ever find a deal here.

However, from what I've noticed the "International Foods" section of Sainsbury's is a LOT more varied than other supermarkets. The times I do visit Sainsbury's are when I'm craving some favourites I'm unable to find at Morrison's or Asda:

- Low-Fat Mango Ice Cream (so delicious!)
- Plenty of East Asian foods that aren't your usual standard boring stir-fry sauces. You have Japanese curry capsules, Thai sauces, etc.

Like I said, some of these favourites weren't available at the other supermarkets I frequent, so I come to Sainsbury's for that reason. However, if you're going for generic foods that you can find anywhere else, you're better off elsewhere given how expensive Sainsbury's is.

I worked for this Sainsbury's for 4 years part-time whilst I was a student. I have to say that it is a great store, because it is not too large, but still offers a great range of products. The Salad bar is amazing, where you can choose your own from Ham & Pasta to Cheese, Croutons and Fresh Fruit. The store also has a curry counter/hot chickens/ bakery and deli. The staff are friendly and as Sainsbury's usually dothe quality of food is better than Asda or Tesco. The store does however, suffer from bad stock levels from time to time around 5pm especially the in store bakery.
