    This is the smaller of the two Sainsbury's stores in central Oxford. Being a little bit more…read morecentral than the Westgate store, and with longer opening hours, it is naturally busier. The range of products is not as good as that in the Westgate and the prices are higher - a tub of houmous might be 5p more expensive here. It's not the place to do your weekly shop, but is convenient for little things that you might have forgotten to buy. Queues are long but fast moving at peak times. One thing that does put me off is that most of the fresh fruit and veg is pre-packaged, which means that a) you can't pick out exactly what you want, and b) you can't have smaller amounts than are in the bags.

    Sainsbury's Local has a fairly good range of foods, with all the essentials and is usually…read morewell-stocked despite its popularity. It's quite hard to get into through the flow of pedestrians and queues for the bus on Magdalen Street, but it's well worth it. There are no surprises, and it's not really the height of luxury, but there's a good selection of fruit juices and a section of bakery goods and lunch time snacks/meals. Because it's only Sainsbury's Local, as opposed to the main shop, you don't really get the good Sainsbury's Basics deals or the more unusual foods, but there's usually a suitable alternative available. The queue often snakes around the shop and is very offputting, but it moves surprisingly quickly; they've got a very efficient system going, so don't be put off because of that. The most frustrating thing is trying to fit everything into a bag on the tiny counter, as the shop assistants work very quickly! Some are friendly, some aren't so, but you'll get your food for a reasonable price, so it doesn't really matter.

    My partner and I were shopping on Monday in Headington, Oxford, and my partner went into the Botley…read moreRoad Aldi and was frightened by the lack of attention of staff and buyers to the 2 metre, coronavirus rule. When she exited the shop to bring the goods to the car she was badly shaken by the danger she had been in. I watched outside as shoppers casually took completely uncleaned trolleys into the shop. My partner said that people were not giving space at all. These people and the staff are in coronavirus danger. We will not be visiting the shop again.

    "This is like our neighborhood sunday haunt."…read more So started my introduction to Aldi. And yes, we did see my sister's neighbors there and apparently it is where people go to in oxford on a sunny sunday afternoon. I was wowed by the rows upon rows of stacked up imitation branded goods in Aldi and even more WOWED by their prices. Unfortunately most of the food I have tasted as far wasn't as wowing.... This included the not so cheesy gruyer cheese straws, the salty chocolate digestives, very dry bread (literally the sandwich dried my mouth better than a dentist's office) and not very juicy lemons. HOWEVER, they do somehow managed to make delectable "posh" chocolates, which comes in either packs of 5 in a pretty card board box or a bag of 5 variety flavours for about 99p. I am partial to the milk chocolate which tastes a bit like lindt and the dark is pretty decent too. Wowed by the prices, I leave with about 10 times as much groceries as I get from waitrose and about 5 times from tesco. Not sure I would shop here rather than the other 2 though... It is very cheap and the fresh produce looks ok, but I am not sure about anything else, down to the £3.50 bottle of "champagne"...
