Alcotraz 2000 looks quite small from the outside but is surprisingly large once you enter. The shop is packed with a good range of food, drinks, newspapers and magazine, fresh and frozen products.

Sainsbury's is one of the 4 big supermarkets in the country. Originally opened in 1869 the first store in Drury Lane soon paved the way to over 500 supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide.

They have improved their basic range and I like the meal planners and recipes.oh and Jamie Oliver's a bit fit too :)
