Sainsbury’s

Lovely, vast store, wide aisles and lots of stock availability. As with many other rival stores in the city and around the UK, their product prices seem to escalate weekly but they do still have a great store. Nice big Café on-site too serving great food and a bonus, a Costa Coffee machine next to the tobacco counter for those that need their caffeine fix to go. Have to say though, their jam and ring doughnuts are scrummy but the last bag of 5 jam doughnuts I had didn't have any jam in them. C'mon Sainsbury's, I know we are all suffering here from the cost of living but please! I paid for jam doughnuts and got doughnuts. However, what they do also have is a "Hot food to go" counter which their rivals don't. So, where the pharmacy was is now a vast range of cosmetic products for both ladies and gentlemen, which is very handy and is actually very pleasant to browse through as the aisles and products are easily accessible. Also that they have undercover parking which, let me tell you, is just brilliant especially when it is raining or too hot to park in the sun as well as outside parking. Nice as well to know is that the Countryside Park is just across the way, a two minute walk which is great because you can do a shop, buy some snacks and then go for a leisurely walk round or take the kids to the play park or enjoy a picnic sat at one of the many seating arrangements. Another bonus for them is their on-site self-service fuel garage which is located just off the car-park. All in all, a nice store with very friendly staff but getting ever more expensive.
