The downside is Sainsbury's is that in general it seems to be a bit more expensive than other supermarkets so as best I can, I try to avoid them to be honest. However, there are still some bright sides.
Atmosphere:
Nothing impressive, slightly cramped to be honest, especially when comparing to Morrison's or Asda builds.
Variety:
Like I said, Sainsbury's tends to be a tad bit more expensive than your other supermarkets, so in this particular location with loads of supermarkets to choose from, you'll rarely ever find a deal here.
However, from what I've noticed the "International Foods" section of Sainsbury's is a LOT more varied than other supermarkets. The times I do visit Sainsbury's are when I'm craving some favourites I'm unable to find at Morrison's or Asda:
- Low-Fat Mango Ice Cream (so delicious!)
- Plenty of East Asian foods that aren't your usual standard boring stir-fry sauces. You have Japanese curry capsules, Thai sauces, etc.
Like I said, some of these favourites weren't available at the other supermarkets I frequent, so I come to Sainsbury's for that reason. However, if you're going for generic foods that you can find anywhere else, you're better off elsewhere given how expensive Sainsbury's is. read more
