As is typical of Sainsburys locals, all the prices are much dearer than in your city centre store…read more That is to be expected for a local convenience store that opens early in the morning to late at night. The staff in Farm street are lovely. They are all very polite, pleasant and chatty. It does get quite busy in there at times and as it is only small, there is no space to queue but the staff are very competent and soon get through the queue. The shelves are always well stocked and if you can't find what you want you can always ask. Of course there isn't much choice on offer but the selling point is like I said the convenience. They do have a good reduced section though and you can usually get reduced priced bread and salads as well as meats and fish. Sainsburys local do still have some of the offers on from the big stores so it is always worth a look if you have one near you.

The staff can't do enough to help you, and whilst the store is only small it has car parking, atm, lottery and pay point. I also noticed they have flowers, cards and gift card, always handy for last minute presents! Unlike most convenience stores in the area they tend to have pretty good avalability, and if its not in stock the staff will find out when its back, or if a another store has it. Always a pleasure to shop there, even if it gets a bit busy!

If you are like me you will always have forgotten something on your way home from town so you can pick up a loaf of bread or a pint of milk too. The prices are a little bit more inflated than say Sainsburys or Tesco but that is what you expect from a convenience store but I don't think they are too bad. They always have offers on to tempt you in like BOGOF bottles of pop or chocolate. They do offers on Wine and beer too and occasionally on other groceries. You can always treat yourself too as they have a deli counter selling hot pies, chicken, sausage rolls, pizza slices etc and they also do sandwiches and little cartons of pasta or fruit. They are always really busy but the staff are polite and helpful and very efficient so you don't queue for long. Oh and don't forget to pick up your lottery ticket, top up your electric/gas/mobile phone and buy your magazines.

Spar is located near the 'old' Debenhams in Derby. From the outside, it looks like a fairly small…read morestore, but it is definitely far from that when you go in. On the right is a bakery where you can buy sausage rolls, cakes, breads etc. There is also a magazine/newspaper, sweets, various condiments and much more in the store. Spar is very pricey considering a small walk away to Sainsburys would get you much more for your money. However, if you are in a rush on lunch hour, then prices aren't really too bad. Handy as its right next to the bus station.

Staff are always friendly and helpful, even in busy times! Even on Sunday mornings, they have milk bread and other stuff that other shops tend to run out of towards the end of the week.

I couldn't recommend this shop anymore. Its a great place.
