J Sainsburys

Would you agree that Jamie Oliver associates himself with this supermarket because of its cheap product or that of its quality? Well, it would be the latter as they stock some good food products but the are not shy at giving the customer full price for the privilage. They aim to cater for the middle class as they have a lot of they own products advertised as the finest and it’s hard to find good BOGOFS or similar types of deals. This store is especially useful because you can get your weekly lottery tickets and boost a good café which do a mean English breakfast.

The amount of times I’ve walked past this Sainsburys and muttered ‘another ***Sainsburys in the centre’ and the amount of times I’ve actually used this as a last minute stop to gather some wares for an evening meal (it’s rather handy on a sunday if you’re in town) evens itself out.
The big two are both splashed around the city like redstone and Stephenson Bell architecture. I’d much prefer to see a little diversity (I knowI do tend to dream) within the city, but admittedly these lot do provide a fill for your needs in almost every pocket of the city.
For such a small spot this store certainly packs it all in. It really is a ‘mini supermarket’ — fresh veg, booze (again handy if you fancy a last minute bottle of adult pop one sunday) newspapers, pasta, frozen business, chilled snacks etc are all here. It’s run really efficiently too, so you never really have to wait long for the queue to go down a little.

This is only a small express type store located in the middle of Deansgate but i find it very handy on a day to day basis, they sell a small selection of what the larger stores do ie fresh meat, fruit and veg, and they also nearly 100% of he time stock any products the larger stores have any kind of offers on ie half price and bogof etc. There are only a few aisles but if you just need to grab something quick for lunch or dinner on your way home from work its a great alternative to busy supermarkets! They always have lots of wine pre chilled which is a plus point for me!
