Sainsbury’s Local

#486 Definitely a step up from your local Tesco. Everything here is much more organized and they have higher-​end selections for you to choose from in every category. I found their recent Valentine’s Day prepared foods section at the front of the store endearing — wine, expensive chocolate desserts, salads for two, shrimp cocktails, medium pizzas, and pasta! I, however, was only in the store to pick up some baked good materials. So, I made a beeline for the back wall towards the left. I found a nice chocolate chunk cookie mix, as well as an angel cake mix, to make for the boyfriend as a Valentine’s Day dessert. I also splurged and picked up 2 pasta boxes (2 for 2gbp) and a small jar of pesto sauce just because I was pining for Trader Joe’s prepared foods. At the last minute, I also picked up a small bag of Toffee Waffles! Altogether, I only ended up spending about 8gbp, which isn’t too bad considering everything that I got. I definitely plan on dropping by Sainsbury’s more often on the days I feel like dropping a bit more money on groceries than usual — their yogurt and fruits sections look very enticing!

New branch of the national compant and perhaps one that I will never use again … unhelpful staff and management and even more confusing labelling on the shelves. Back to Tesco for me !!
