We just popped in for a few bits for breakfast whilst staying on the Premier inn. There's a good range and free parking after 6pm. The staff were all really helpful and friendly.
The fruit and veg is quite reliable in quality compared to other supermarkets such as Morrisons and Tesco. I can often find things like large squishy majoul dates and pink pomello's. It's consistently a good selection that keeps you interested. Not just the same old frozen satsumas that have gone squishy and tasteless or apples that look a bit grey.nnHavent tried the strawberries but lets face it you should never buy strawberries from a supermarket. Not unless you want your kids to think that's what strawberries taste like.nnActually it's an ok supermarket, but forcing me to have yet another supermarket app on my phone just so they can monitor my shopping behaviour has somewhat annoyed me now and made me drop a starnnEspecially when i couldn't give two hoots about points and then having to disable notifications popping up on my phone every 5 minutes. Of course I don't give a stuff if apples are on offer at 5 pence cheaper this week, let alone have my day interupted by the announcement on my phone.nnTrying to make out they are offering these awesone things and that we are getting something in return when really all they are doing is harvesting our information. Its happening everwhere. People are freely giving in.nIt's not a reward card, it's a ' we'll punish you' if you dont have one and we can't see what you are doing card.nnIf you don't download the app and scan it the barcode, you have to pay more which obviously is pretty arritating at the checkout especially when you discover the signal is poor and they want you to connect to their WiFi.nnNot before telling you how unsecure the WiFi is first though. How you use it at your own risk.... This is a supermarket...just remind yourself you came in for a loaf...n. Ah, but if you want the loaf for £1.09 and not £1.39 then you have to download the app. Don't forget your email address and wait a minute... . that password you're using for the app isn't long enough. Ot needs to be super tight that password . Someone might steal it and access your wonderful supermarket app and steal you ten pence voucher for their own brand of kitchen towels.nnWhich in my opinion during this time of inflation and rising food prices is a luxury item. Surely if you're buying kitchen towels you can probably afford them at full price and don't even need the oh so generous ten pence off them first place.nnWait you still havent got the app sorted out yet.... you need a symbol in your password now, not just 12 the characters. What if someone hacks the app and finds out what you have been buying and steals your information without you buying slightly discounted kitchen towels first.nnWouldn't that be just be terrible.nnOh and they charge you for parking but they do let you have a refund on it if you spend over a Ten pound .... But wait... You need to display your ticket in the window of your car... And yet the discount code for the money off when you spend £10 in store is on the back. Another mind bending, hoop jumping game for you to play.nnYou now have to carry the little parking ticket round with you so you can get your parking refund the next time you go shopping . Not only are you playing the digital app game but also now the analogue one too. Going old school, carrying paper vouchers around. Thanks sainsburys... You just went down one more star.n.nn.
No deli, meat or fish counter.nDifficult to find products as they keep relaying their shelf plans.nAlways out of skimmed milk but store management state that they have no control over milk deliveries to the store. Often have to go to Waitrose just for milk - but usually end up being tempted by their fresh foods and spending up to £60 there when I just popped in for milk which is always available!nMinced beef recently repackaged in vacuum sealed packs which compresses the mince and makes it unusable.nLocal staff are great but appear to be unable to influence head office decisions to reflect local customer demand.nSome examples: American product section is weird. 80+ sizes types, brands and varieties of olive oils seems excessive when you regularly run out of eggs, milk, detergents, butter etc.
Please update your ticket machines for the car park. Always a queue to pay and can barely read the keypad. It puts me off going there.
Very friendly and helpful staffnnLots of parking outside and there is also an Argos inside
