I'm usually faithful to Tesco but I'm bored and want to try sainos.

What's good? What should I try?

Thanks!

I love their cheese and onion bakes. Delicious on baby salad leaves.

Their own label washing liquid. It comes in a carton like a drink carton. It’s a 1/3 of the cost compared to big names.

Their crinkle cut gherkins taste like McDonald's ones

I like their rolled breast of lamb, which I make a stew out of, in my slow cooker.

i just buy whatever i need to make the meals i've planned, I don't go to Sainsburys for anything different just because it's sainsburys!

DahliaStar · 20/02/2024 11:13

Mostly Sainsbury's has just been making me cross lately. (What the heck torture-beating regime they must put apples through, I just don't understand.) But they still get my business for these, all their own brand:

  • Frozen Super Crispy Skin On Chips
  • Frozen Whole Green Beans
  • Chilled Smooth British Pork Chipolata Sausages
  • Chilled Thin & Crispy 10" Pizza Bases

Fair enough. I'm quite poor so a Sainsburys shop feels like a big fancy treat to me!!

I like the Habitat 400tc sheets

Jamongranary · 20/02/2024 11:26

Do you like cottage cheese ? Sainsbury's pineapple one and chive and onion are both delicious , i buy pots of them all the time ...

kitsuneghost · 20/02/2024 11:28

Blackberry, apple, beetroot and ginger tea

That's how I used to feel about Sainsbury's 😂
But lately they haven't been worth it. Maybe it's just my local shop that's the problem, though.

Take your nectar card for cheaper prices

EndlesslyDistracted · 20/02/2024 11:35

Taste The Difference full fat Greek Yogurt

EndlesslyDistracted · 20/02/2024 11:36

And yes, sign up to a Nectar card because a lot of things are cheaper with one

Clawdy · 20/02/2024 11:38

Their Red Label tea.
Mini courgettes (don't have them in our local Tesco or Co op.)
Salted caramel fudge!

MillshakePickle · 20/02/2024 11:42

The nectar points, I save them all year and do my Christmas food shop on them.

They also do an aldi price match so its like shopping at two shops in one.

houseydncf · 20/02/2024 11:43

Fab will take my nectar card! Thanks

Shortbread in the red packet. Best supermarket shortbread in my opinion. I buy several packs whenever I go into sainsbury's as ots not my regular supermarket.

Ginandjuice57884 · 20/02/2024 11:49

I always find sainsbury's overpriced for the quality. It's about 20% more expensive than Asda but poorer quality.
