I have to say that I had a VERY disappointing shop yesterday. I arrived at the store slightly after…read moreopening at 8am for a quick shop with the intent of being home by 9am (we live 10 minutes away). I bought a total of 45 items for a total cost of £84.02 I used (as always) the smart shop option in which I scanned every item that I bought and had them in two big shopping baskets. When I tried to check out and pay the system wouldn't let me. An assistant came along and said that she needed to check a few items. I have had this 2-3 times before when the rummage through the bags and check 6-10 items to make sure that I hadn't "forgotten" to scan something or was trying to steal something. This time she was told to check EVERY item which involved completely emptying both bags and checking every item and then putting everything back in my two oversized bags. I missed my meeting and worse I was made to feel like a criminal. Had I scanned every single item yes! Was it a good experience- Hell no! Did I feel like a criminal? Yes! Very upsetting- is this level of investigation really necessary?!?!

Sainsbury's is located just on the outskirts of Swadlincote town centre. It has a petrol station,…read morerecycling facilities and a decent sized car park. Not the biggest Sainsbury's, but it is due for an expansion in the near future, which will see the demise of the local Home Electric shop, as the store expands and the petrol is moved to improve access. The store although fairly small, has a good variety of products including a fruit and veg section, a meat and fish counter, a bakery and a delicatessen area. The store is well set out and always well stocked and tidy, which is the main failing of other local supermarkets. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the shopping experience is pleasant and relaxing. This Sainsbury's also has a small cafe area, with a variety of seating, including leather sofas. It has a small, but tasty selection of food and cold drinks. But I don't know what they do to the hot drinks, the coffee and tea taste so bad, they are barely drinkable! This is probably my favourite supermarket and we go in valiantly trying the coffee every week in the vain attempt it will get better, but it doesn't. In every other aspect this is a five star supermarket, but the hot drinks could be so much better.

As with all convenience stores, it is not suitable for your weekly shop because the prices tend to be quite high. Having said that, they also have regular offers and some items can even be cheaper than the big supermarkets. The range is very good for a small shop, and the staff are always extremely helpful and friendly.

The store has long opening hours and stocks a wide range of food products, including an extensive…read morefresh foods area. It also has a bakery and fresh sandwiches. The staff are always helpful, and you really feel they go out of there way for you. The store has also been recently refurbished, and is at the end of Duffield town street, so very convenient for popping to on the way home. Unfortunately there is no parking provided, but there is parking on the roads around it and a couple of car parks within walking distance. There also not as cheap as other supermarkets, but there service and ethics are far better. You can also use your membership card there, and spend dividend vouches or saving stamps. The store also has lottery and pay point, but there are no newspapers or magazines (there's a newsagent next door, she's very nice!). A perfect store for the village, with lovely staff.

The Sainsburys in Loughborough is fairly big. Well for one…read morethey sell everything you could want from a supermarket. But by anything you would want from a supermarket im talking about food so unlike Tescos they dont have a wide variety of CDs, DVDs, Games etc. They dont have much of a clothing line, just mainly back to school clothing. Overall i prefer Sainsbury foods compared to other places, the offers are equally as good as other stores and also equally expensive. The Sainsburys in Loughborough also has a cafe and a pharmacy. There are a good number of tills so you're never waiting too long to be served and there is self checkout which i think is awesome.

Staff are always friendly and helpful, even in busy times! Even on Sunday mornings, they have milk bread and other stuff that other shops tend to run out of towards the end of the week. Offers mirror that of the larger Sainsburys stores & its always helpful having a local shop where I can collect Nectar points when I'm buying milk or chocolate! I couldn't recommend this shop anymore. Its a great place.
