Sainsburys is posh, isn't it?

[HoneyDragon]

I mean it is toward the upper end of Poshness isn't it? Coming after Harrods food hall, Selfridge food hall, Booths, M&S, Waitrose then Sainsbury's.

Artisan shops and veg box deliveries probably come between M&S and Waitrose I reckon?

It's definitely posher than Tesco.

I don't know why I've done this op actually. I am so not unreasonable.

Do they still do stamps? Lol.
I miss my little coop. The new nisa isnt the same

Our local Booths is so posh, I've seen a bunch of the local public school boys buying their lunchtime quinoa salad there

where I used to live, they did local salt marsh lamb, potted shrimps, and gorgeous wine (plus tastings)

I find Waitrose a bit bland, and I find the pride people take in shopping there amusing

Budgens is a proper shop. Like a Co op

My DM used to pronounce Co Op Coop until someone told her.

Coop! Bless. They are good though. Good selection of wines and cheese.

tired - Pissed on the floor????!!!! Please explain!! Who is 'they'?

I don't think of M and S as a supermarket really, but in my head the order is:

Booths
Waitrose
M&S
Sainsbury's

Then big gap in quality

Tesco
Morrison's
Lidl/Aldi
Asda

Who remembers Safeways??

And Somerfield??

And Fine Fare??

Those were the days....

Sainsbury's is not posh! I would put it above Morrisons but on par with Tesco.

I have been in many''s the small Tesco or Sainsbury in London that has reeked of piss - who is doing it and why?

Selfridges Food Hall is also posh.

I am woefully disappointed though as I was excited at the new posh place "Fortunes"

Only to realise they'd mis-spelled Fortnums.

Prime Now seem to do some market foods that are trying to be posher than the grocery stores.

shudders at memories of the revolting Sainsbury's at Oxford city centre

ohto as stoodents we used to call that Sainsbury's 'Moscow' because there was never any food there.

Somerfields was ok. That is now our m and s foodhall!
It was much cheaper.
Safeway was expensive. Bought out by sainsburys.

I thought everyone in Sainsbury yesterday had wet themselves ... until I realised it was the entire floor.

Anyone remember Walter Wilson's ?

BTW - I think Tesco is better than Sainsbury. Neither are posh - people who shop I'm Sainsbury may rate themselves as posher than Tesco shoppers but I think Sainsbury is rubbish.

Safeway was dead common by us in my childhood. There was a huge one in Clydebank and a smaller one on Knightswood. These are not posh places.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup my local Somerfield is now a co op. I quite liked Somerfield...

I'm old enough to remember a time when Safeways was classier than Tesco.

Fine fare/Kwik save/food giant/Somerfield... same junk.... different names

I miss the Safeways brown bags.

The Jump is on C4 now. All the posh ones have skied before. I think we should ask them where they shop.

Safeway was ok ( not cheap, but ok) near where i used to live. Then it became Sainsburys, it was extended, petrol bit moved in. It all changed.
Wherever i live the supermarkets all change!

I'd rate Aldi and Lidl as posher than Tesco.

Tesco seems to believe its customers rarely cook and is becoming increasingly full of processed food. It can now be quite a challenge to locate bags of uncooked rice in an unfamiliar Tesco as these are completely swamped by shelves of express preprepared rice.

The80s - I think your user name says it all. Ah. The supermarket nostalgia. Life all changes around us doesn't it?
