I went to this Sainsburys for the first time yesterday as I was in York city centre and needed some…read moregroceries. This is the only big supermarket in town that I know of (apart from M&S but they don't sell everything I wanted.) There is no big Asda/Tesco/Morrisons in town though. It's a nice big Sainsburys and they sell everything I would need, lots of frozen food, fresh fruit and veg, tins, bakery, household cleaning, etc. It was busy when I went but they have lots of tills and self scanners so there was no queueing.

Huge store- well out of town- busy but well stocked- VERY freindly staff too.read more

Large store with good size clothes department, also has McDonalds attached. Parking area fair…read morealthough very few parent/toddler spaces which are often filled by other drivers without children due to being close to the doors.

I was glad when they opened this Tesco as I think it's handy to have a little one in town. It sells…read morea smaller selection of the usual Tesco groceries. The only thing is they don't stock most of the cheaper ranges so it can be a bit more expensive.

Located on Goodramgate in York centre, this Tesco Express store is pretty much your average store…read moreyou'd expect from a Tesco Express branch, it is located in a decent location just a few stores down from Wagamama and Yo Sushi. There was a small selection of most essential goods including a Costa Coffee machine, I mainly come in just to pick up some milk to take back to my hotel which I managed with little trouble. The Free From range was poor and non-existent, but this is pretty much the case in all Tesco Express stores and rival alternatives such as Sainsbury's Local. For ease of going in and out quicker, having more self-service tills compared to the slightly understaffed manned tills would be better, as I recall there was only 2, a store of this kind would often have at least double that (self-service tills) closer to my home in Manchester city centre. The staff didn't stand out here either. I'm struggling here, pretty much an average store in most regards with the selection of most items being small but it is one of the better Tesco stores out of the three branches they have in the centre of York in terms of size and location so I do feel a three-star rating is warranted.

you can only find the worst quality in this supermarket.Ive been to this supermarket for many years…read moreand now they only sell cheapest quality with high prices. it's all about their profit!

At long last York has it's very own Chinese supermarket!…read more Before chi yip opened, I had to trek all the way to Leeds city centre to stock up on all my essential Chinese cookery ingredients! There is a wide range of exotic looking fruit and veg at chi yip, some you won't recognise, some you will! you can also pick up lovely stir fry essentials such as delicious pak choi. The freezer cabinets have a wide range of precooked dim sums that you can take home and cook yourself (usually steam or deep fry) As well as frozen meat and fish. You can also buy sacks of rice, it's much cheaper to buy like this if you have room to store it!! There is a good selection of canned and jarred goods, some really interesting items, quite a number of them I've never heard of, but many that I have and would love to have a go cooking with! I would say if your new to Chinese cookery, but want to be experimental than have a recipe in mind and take the list of ingredients with you, otherwise you might get a bit over whelmed at how much 'stuff' there actually is! Last but not least is the fish and meat counter, where there is a member of staff on hand to serve you - there is also tanks of live crabs and lobster so you can literally choose which poor creature you want to take home and cook

This shop has been there years under the name of Jacksons and more recently so as a Sainsburys…read more It's a slightly pricey little shop but handy for bits of groceries and cigarettes and stuff when in that area. It's a little out of the city centre though so I only go if I do happen to be near it.

Very good choices of fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, breakfast items, and beverages. Staff very pleasant…read moreand helpful. Recommended.

As I used to live only 2 streets down from this Hyde Park treasure, my shopping trips often ended…read moreup here. I can see why those who don't dare cook outside the realms of beans on toast would avoid this shop as it is full of the weird and wonderful, stacked high with ingredients most would not know how to cook or what to cook it with. But where is your adventurous side?! I am a huge fan of curry, whether it is Indian or Thai in origin (or an English equivalent) and Maumoniat's sells everything you will need to rustle up either. They stock the usual brand name curry culprits such as Pataks Originals for Indian cooking, Blue Dragon for Thai and Chinese and many other untranslatable brands from many different origins. They also stock all of the ingredients you would need to cook up a homemade bowl of world cuisine from scratch with various roots and shoots, fish sauce and the like. A true delight for experimental cookers or fans of foreign cuisine. They also sell a wide selection of cooking oils, various breads, health foods, cheeses (mozzarella, halumi, feta..), sausages, fruits and vegetables. If you are looking for ingredients for a special meal you are unlikely to find elsewhere, it is a your most likely outlet, however, if you are just looking for some fruit and veg or the usual shop, you are likely to find a cheaper place elsewhere.

This place, for someone like me, is totally random and yet totally fun. I think that's why it's so…read morevery popular to be honest. It's the supermarket with a difference, that difference being it's an international supermarket. As well as any of the staple items you might require, this place has the best and most interesting ingredients for any curry/asian cuisine fan. They have spices that I've not even heard of, all kinds of rice, naans and other such accompaniments - generally spicy heaven. They have a large frozen section too with plenty of goodies and loads of random strange foreign delights. The sweets are the most crazy! The last time I came here I bought a turkish delight selection box which had some really random flavours, I loved it! For adventurous purchases in the edible arena, this is the place to try. Yum!
