I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sainsbury's at Berryden, Aberdeen. Today, I…read morebought an Indian meal that was on sale as it was expiring today. When I got home and opened it, the rice had an absolutely foul, rotten smell, it was clearly already spoiled. I then had to go through the hassle of driving all the way back to the store just to return it, wasting my time and fuel for something that should never have happened in the first place. Although they refunded the spoiled meal, I was shocked that they made me pay the difference for the replacement. Selling food that's expiring today and already gone bad is unacceptable and the way this was handled was completely unfair. I've been shopping at Sainsbury's for years and always trusted their standards, but after this experience, they have certainly lost a loyal and valuable customer.

This a superstore, nay, megastore in Aberdeen! This store sells more than groceries, but also…read morehomewares and clothing. There is also a cafe inside for hot food and drinks. Prices as usual, reasonable. The store layout is easy to navigate and is clean and well stocked. Service is decent, but at a peak time there were nowhere near enough staff at the registers resulting in long queues which was quite annoying.

A large Farmfoods store located on the street behind Bon Accord shopping centre…read more There are so many bargains to be had here, and its amazing how much money you can save compared to other supermarkets. Most of the food is frozen food, tins or packets. There is no fresh fruit or veg. There are always offers on, such as 5 cans of juice for £1, 2 tins of soup for £1 etc. You can end up buying so much stuff! I never find this shop to be very busy and have never had to wait long in a queue to buy my goods. This is a great shop for stocking up your cupboards at a good price.

The store is well laid out in sections of fish, ready meals, chicken, vegetables, pies and pizzas and frozen deserts. Their jars of sauce and dried goods are also really good value. The only downside of the store is that the checkouts are pretty low-tech and it can take a while if you pay by card.

What an EXTRAORDINARILY badly managed store! We called in for "one to two" things which turned into…read morea small trolley full, as these visits often do... On approaching the staffed checkouts (we prefer a human being to doing it ourselves) we saw significant queues and no signs of movement, and two tills were closing (this was around 5.20pm). A manager (?) assured us that there would be staff coming to the checkouts "in two minutes". I'm glad we didn't take him at his word, because the 20 minutes we were there we didn't see any (even after the "queue-buster call went out at 5.30pm). The poor woman working at our till was totally overwhelmed with her workload (and she was a middle-aged lady), while younger staff were seen leisurely wandering around the self service and self-scanned areas - surely some kind of staffing malfunction? We often shop at Aldi (Beach Boulevard) Lidl (Torry) and Tesco (Torry) all within 1-2 miles of this Asda and ALL of those stores have efficient staffing, effective management, and priority service for customers wishing to use staffed tills. We now rarely shop in Asda, we used to be regular shoppers in Glasgow and Cumbernauld, but our experience of Asda - especially as they are heavily pushing the self-service to the real detriment of the one-to-one customer experience has not only put us off, but I'm sure will put many many more customers off. Asda it's EASY; 1. convert some of the profits to secure good staff 2. increase your staffing 3. serve your customers. Because if you continue to push staffed checkouts down your list of priorities then we will not return. And we are not alone.

Lovely new store, good layout and helpful friendly staff, BUT the petrol station is another story!!…read moreWhen they give you a voucher for money off your fuel, you have to leave the store, drive to the petrol, fill up, get a receipt (as unmanned) return to the store, park, go and queue at Customer services, to get your few pence discount, not worth the hassle. The Air line is a rip off, limited time, and so slow, so money runs out before it has even filled the tyre, so you keep putting more money in.

There is a section for hot food, Costas coffee machine and pizzas prepared in store ready to be cooked at home. The frozen food selection is quite limited.

This is the most amazing grocery store ever…read more First off, it's a part of an organization that supports people with various needs, physical, mental and emotional. Then, it's a working permaculture farm that sells it's various wares in the store (eggs, produce), next to many other local and/or Scottish items. Many are organic or free range, and often cheaper than at the big grocery stores. This shocked me. Finally, they have things like spices in tiny amounts, natural cleaning supplies, and crazy chocolate (lavender Earl anyone?), food (Asian section is amazing, as is the grain and gluten free). Where possible, this is the only place I'm going to shop. Bit of a maze to get there, but easily walkable if you don't mind a hill. Bus stops at the top of the street, and there's ample parking down below.
