This is large Tesco store, which has bakery, fishmonger and Krispy Kreme donuts!…read morePlenty of parking with a good wholefood section. There is also a cafe, which seems to be a sales reps meeting point between 9-10am.

Conveniently located a few minutes walk from Univ, this grocery store has just about everything you…read morecan need except pharmacy items. The prices are not cheap but I don't have a huge database for comparison. I like the fact that they installed self-check out stations which greatly speeds the process. They often have specials on beers and ales which brings down the prices a bit.

I wish Jing Jing wasn't so far out the center, but I'll gladly do the trek down here even if it's…read moreheavy for me to lug the shopping back on foot. The store is small, but they really do pack it in. Even the register seems to be drowning in stock. There's a very good variety of some dried goods like Chinese herbs and vegetables. And a huge variety of snacks that I'm both familiar and unfamiliar with. I think prices are pretty comparable to Lung Wah, however the vegetables here are more varied, cheaper, and better quality, I've found. Most of the veg at Lung Wah is pretty sad, so I come here for my East Asian vegetables that I can't get anywhere else.

There is a reasonable selection of frozen fish…read moreand seafood (at better prices than some major supermarkets, but generally more expensive than Lung Wah Chong in the city centre). Different types of noodle, rice, soy sauce, bean sauces, oils, nuts, a small selection of veg, and soya milk drinks. You won't get everything you need for cooking more obscure authentic food here, but you will do pretty well. There is a minimum purchase price to use a debit/credit card but this is fair enough.

This is the smaller of the two Sainsbury's stores in central Oxford. Being a little bit more…read morecentral than the Westgate store, and with longer opening hours, it is naturally busier. The range of products is not as good as that in the Westgate and the prices are higher - a tub of houmous might be 5p more expensive here. It's not the place to do your weekly shop, but is convenient for little things that you might have forgotten to buy. Queues are long but fast moving at peak times. One thing that does put me off is that most of the fresh fruit and veg is pre-packaged, which means that a) you can't pick out exactly what you want, and b) you can't have smaller amounts than are in the bags.

Sainsbury's Local has a fairly good range of foods, with all the essentials and is usually…read morewell-stocked despite its popularity. It's quite hard to get into through the flow of pedestrians and queues for the bus on Magdalen Street, but it's well worth it. There are no surprises, and it's not really the height of luxury, but there's a good selection of fruit juices and a section of bakery goods and lunch time snacks/meals. Because it's only Sainsbury's Local, as opposed to the main shop, you don't really get the good Sainsbury's Basics deals or the more unusual foods, but there's usually a suitable alternative available. The queue often snakes around the shop and is very offputting, but it moves surprisingly quickly; they've got a very efficient system going, so don't be put off because of that. The most frustrating thing is trying to fit everything into a bag on the tiny counter, as the shop assistants work very quickly! Some are friendly, some aren't so, but you'll get your food for a reasonable price, so it doesn't really matter.

The security guard who was working here on December 17th 2024 (a woman with short black hair and…read morewearing a high viz jacket) was incredibly rude to me as I was leaving the store. I had done nothing to warrant such treatment and it completely ruined my evening. Staff who treat customers in such a way should not be employed.

Well, this little shop certainly lives up to its name. It's pretty similar to all the other…read moreCostcutter shops, but is particularly useful for its post office. Be careful to check the opening times - I always seem to go at the wrong time. It's more convenient than going to the main post office, though, and does most of the same things: most importantly, you can post things and get certain foreign currencies (eg: Euros) pretty easily. Aside from postal facilities, it stocks a good range of magazines, especially some more unusual, academic ones. It's the sort of shop you pop into when you know exactly what you want and you're in a hurry. Excellent.

I visited the St Clements store at around 3pm on 22/04/21 and was very upset to be sworn at by the…read moresecurity guard as I was leaving the store, a white male aged around 30-40. It was completely unprovoked, I was only in there to pick up a few items. This is not an acceptable way to treat customers. Very unhappy and I will not be shopping there again.

Ahhhh The Co-op! The jewel of Templars Square :)…read more I'm always amazed at how competitive the prices are here and you've gotta love the budget tv commercials! All in all my supermarket of choice (i'm a poor student) and i've always found the staff in this particular branch very friendly and helpful.

This is a really large sized Co-op, offering good value on a wide range of products…read more they frequently have special offers on selected products- usually buy one get one free, or less than half price, making it even better value. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and there are a large number of checkouts which are opened during busy times to reduce the length of time you need to spend queueing to pay for your goods. They sell good quality fruit and vegetables, as well as snacks, ready meals, and household goods. The large size of the store enables it to stock a wide range of products, and so it caters to the vast majority of your needs. The prices are quite competitive, and the quality is good, so it is definitely worth a try if you are in the area.
