This Sainsbury's store was refurbished and enlarged about a year or so ago and now has a fantastic…read morehomeware and clothing department, as well as a huge range of food and drink items as you would expect. They also stock small electrical items, entertainment goods and an array of children's toys at reasonable prices. I am often stocking up for presents for children's parties from here. The clothing too is stylish yet affordable and I often find I have an item or two in with my groceries! There is a pharmacy in store too which saves a separate trip elsewhere to pick up prescriptions. Staff are very helpful and polite and I have never had any problems returning items to customer services. If you need a break from all the shopping there is a cafe area offering a selection of meals and light snacks. They also have a commitment to making sure their food and drink is fairtrade and organic, as far as is possible, which is all for the good! There is a petrol station on site too. The only downside I would say is the carpark. It has been improved slightly to what it was a few years ago but I still find it quite a confusing system to navigate in and out of. Plus, the traffic lights to get in or out of the store do not help matters. However, it is worth making the trip. In it's favour the store hardly ever feels cramped and busy and shopping there is an pleasurable experience.

I went in this supermarket on Friday 1st of August to do our monthly shop, we used the scan as we…read morego scanner which we always have done with no problems in the past apart from being checked 3 times out of 5 visits which is annoying but always with no problems. So we do our shop which came to £333 get too the checkout and as expected get a message saying to call a member of staff to check our shopping. This member of staff turns up and proceeds to rifle through our shopping checking i believe 65 items,, they get to the 65th item and tell us that we hadn't scanned a packet of doughnuts so they would have to check every single item in our trolley .We then spent roughly half an hour whilst every single item was took out of our trolley and spread over the service desk ,in bags on the floor, bags in the trolley and an on an adjacent unsed till.There was hardly any consideration for the fact they were handling our food and it didn't appear to matter if the food was fragile or not the only concern of the member of staff was to find if we had (stolen) ((because that was how we were made to feel)) anything else.I also noted the security guard had not intervened but had moved closer so he was between us and the exit,coincidence maybe but i certainly wasn't going to run through him with my bag of doughnuts..Anyway after being embarrassed for about half an hour we were finally told everything was in order and we could proceed to pay for our shopping but before we did this i heard the member of staff mumbled something to my wife which i didn't quite hear but here comes the money shot,,,,,,,,,They said "oh it was my mistake the doughnuts had been scanned after all ".Its probably a good job i didn't hear as i was seriously pissed off by this point as you can imagine.Suffice to say i will NEVER use a scanner in Blue Boar Tesco again and just be warned if you make a mistake and miss an item or the staff member makes a mistake you are going to have to stand there and be made to feel like a shoplifter even if you are as straight as the day is long like myself...PS If Tesco dispute my version im sure the cameras would have been watching and i have the till receipt with the doughnuts on it to prove my story is true.

More like a Wal-Mart Supercenter, though more focused on food and groceries but also clothing, electronics, pharmacy and housewares. The produce section is quite large and very fresh, the grocery sections have tons and tons of choices, ranging from Tesco generics as well as many different flavors of name brands, the frozen section is three aisles of freezers and bunkers. Very large parking lot with an easy to access petrol ("gas" in American) station at the perimeter. Prices are quite competitive with Asda and Morrison's and I think are also lower than Waitrose. Many tills ("registers") are always open and I've not seen more than one or two people waiting, even at the busy times. There are also two groups of self-service checkouts. All told, a positive shopping experience.

Unusually, ranged outside the shop on a series of trestle tables are a range of diverse items (from loo-roll to bags of peanuts) all at knock-down prices. The displays change daily and there are usually various people milling about seeing what the bargains of the day are - giving it the feel of a car-boot sale. The shop itself is more of a traditional grocers shop, with tinned and fresh food, fruit and veg etc but it's tiny inside and it's amazing how much stock they manage to pack in. Prices are excellent value and Nobby's is a bit of a local institution - long may it thrive!

Food is a combination of branded goods and asda's cheaper ranges - good for downgrading in the present credit crisis! Fruit and Veg is generally quite good but if you get there late in the day you will be limited for choice. There is also a good range of toiletries and household goods at very reasonable prices. Later in the evening they reduce a lot of bread and fresh food - ideal for making those pennies go even further. Queues are often long, but staff are friendly and helpful.

But late night visits often mean a second shopping trip needs to be planned to get all the fruit and veg you couldn't get the first time. And the car park is consistently rammed. Getting a space in the area down by the icerink is fine, but trying to get a full trolley down the slope that leads there has probably resulted in more than one insurance claim

I LOVE WAITROSE!…read more Waitrose to me is synonymous with food, and because I love food... I love Waitrose. Great deals and huge clean aisles filled with foodfoodfood. Lovely British food. They have everything you could ever want... all the special edition crisps (chips to us Americans), a whole wall of biscuits and digestives, tons of European candies you'll never find in America, and prepared food that anyone would like. I grabbed a tasty Peking duck wrap for lunch and it was only 5 pounds or something. Huge parking lot... this is like a Walmart/Safeway combined. It's huge but I didn't get a Costco vibe here. No pretentiousness either. If you're in the Wymondham/Hethel area, stop by this Waitrose!

I must've been…read morein this particular Tesco even more than my own, local one...whenever I am down to visit my family this is the closest and biggest food shop/supermarket to hand so we often find ourselves nipping in here for a few bits and bobs. I am one of those odd people that actually really LIKES and ENJOYS just wandering around a supermarket...what can I say?! I like checking out the new items and produce in store and looking at what bargains they have on offer. I find it very relaxing and comforting, which is strange when as I a child you would have had to drag me kicking and screaming to get me inside a (dreaded) supermarket! Oh how we change. Anyway I digress (I do that a lot), this particular Tesco store is pretty well stocked and I always find quite a few produce items in this store that I can't find in others. They have a HUGE pet (food/goodies/items) section in here which tells me that people of Kings Lynn like their animals :-) Also they have a great Bakery and stock cupboard item aisles too. There's a clothes section, a electrical goods section and also some household goods/kitchenware is stocked too. My Mum shops here all the time and I know she says the staff are very friendly although I have had a couple of run-ins with some check-out staff, hence the 3, not 4 stars. They are VERY strict in here on their alcohol policy...TOO strict as when myself & my boyfriend went to buy a bottle of wine for dinner one day we were asked for ID, which is fair enough (we're both WAY over 18 {and 25 for that matter} but we do get ID'ed all the time...it's a blessing really!) and my boyfriend showed his ID but that wasn't enough for them as they then proceeded to ask me for ID (which I do now carry, but it's only valid in Scotland!) which I didn't have on me...he stated why did I need ID when HE was buying the alcohol and they said 'Well, how do we know you're not buying it for her?!' looking at me as though I was some young hooligan, about to drink myself silly on White Zinfandel on the corner of the street! The cheek! So the long & short of it was they refused to sell us the wine. We asked to speak to the manager but that got us no further. So we left the wine and the rest of our groceries too in protest. Bah! Never heard of a place requiring TWO forms of ID to buy alcohol?! Daft. So, yes, some of the staff (possibly most...)are really lovely but some are not so. So be warned if you plan to come in here with your darn youthful looks to buy some booze coz you might just go away empty handed (unless you carry ID on you). Tesco, you meany.
