While I wasn't able to get the item I came in for, I was pleased with the selection overall, I found them to be one of the better supermarkets in the area for overall choice/selection in both grocery and home, the store had a nice, modern feel to it too which I liked. There is also an upstairs area with a Cafe and Clothing Section, so the store is HUGE. I do think the staff could have had better knowledge of where to find items, after asking someone where to find something, I later found out we were in the wrong area of the store and they didn't stock it anyway, he did seem super friendly though. The worst part about this store for me was they seemed to have blockages down every aisle from warehouse cages to even a warehouse truck, it seemed to be in the worst possible positions, luckily the store was large so this didn't have a huge effect, but it felt like I was in the middle of a construction site in parts of the store. My checkout experience was quick and easy using Sainsbury's Smartshop, it would have been good to see them have more bags at the front of the store in order to support this. 4* - Very good supermarket in Leigh, it is spacious and modern with a fairly good selection of most items.

This branch in Harrington Road, Formby is not really different to your standard Spar, offering the usual small selection of bread, cold meats and alcohol that are a bit overpriced. However, this branch does also have a bakery section on which you can purchase hot pastries such as sausage rolls that leave the shop with a lovely home-baked smell if nothing else. It also offers a DVD rental service, but I guess that's rather defunct now as it's cheaper to buy them off Amazon or download them for free.

After having breakfast and stopping at a couple stores at Middlebrook Retail Park, we headed over…read moreto Tesco to see what they offer. Since the Tesco in Swindon has a huge selection of American items, I thought that this store might offer the same. I am planning to make a Thanksgiving dinner and need some American items to ensure authenticity :). There is a large car park, however, if there is a football game on, you may want to stay away from this area due to traffic. The store is huge and was quite busy on Saturday afternoon. There are ATMs outside of the store, as well as a dry cleaning service. Walking inside the store actually made me feel like I was in a Wal-Mart Supercenter. It is huge! There is a cafe, salon, electronics section, beauty counter like those in a department store, bakery, and a health store. We continued straight on and went through the toys, home goods, and electronic sections. If you head to the right you'll eventually find the food section. Of course we did get a bit sidetracked and ended up getting a slow cooker since it was on sale (we will be returning it as when we plugged it in, it blew the fuse for everything in our apartment). I also got to look at Christmas decorations and saw a nice laptop for a reasonable price to replace my iBook dinosaur. Eventually we got over to the food section. The problem with me trying to do a shop in a new store is that I get distracted trying to look at everything on offer. Unfortunately this is not compatible with Mr. Snarky and I should have sent him back over to the electronics. What I like about the store, is that while it is very busy, it is very spacious so it doesn't feel like sardines in a can and making shopping a little easier. While they do offer a lot and all of the usual items, I was a bit disappointed with their World Foods Area. The first was the rice aisle which consisted mainly of Basmati rice with a couple bags of glutinous rice. For a 'World Foods' section, they should have more selection of rice and as a result I didn't get the rice that I was looking for. They do offer a lot of European foods, but the selection from other countries is not as large, including the American section. I did get the pumpkin for my pumpkin pie and pumpkin roll, but the other items that I was looking for and stocked by the Tesco in Swindon were not available. I did like that they have a 'Free From' section for those with intolerances or allergies... and it seems fairly extensive. Check out was a bit slow, but no massive queues. Besides self-checkout, they do have the scan-as-you-shop scheme as well. It is a nice store, though, very clean, well stocked, and has almost everything you could want.

It also has a cafe, a salon, a Timpson dry cleaner/key cutter, and a petrol station, as well as an on-site recycle centre. As it is quite a large and busy store, there can be quite a problem with queuing at the tills, and due to being a 24 hour store, late night shopping can see many internal lights turned off, as well as lots of cages of stock all over the place down most aisles, making access tricky. NOTE: On Bolton Wanderers match days, there is a three hour limit to be parked in their car park, after which, you can receive a £70 fine.
