Sainsburys Monks Cross York is a large supermarket that was renovated a few years ago…read more Like most other supermarkets seem to, Sainsburys now do not only food but they have their own range of clothing, (TU). They also have for sale stationary, cd's, dvd's computer games and books. From time to time they also get great value electrical items such as telly's and DVD players, they don't always have them, but when they're in stock they're worth a look. The kids clothes are brilliant, inexpensive and good quality. The adults clothes are a bit hit and miss thought, but still worth a look. The food at sainsburys is much the same as other supermarkets as far as branded items go, but they do there own range of food which I've always found to be of a high quality and would recommend it, in particular there baked in store bread! Sainsburys cafe is worth a look too, meals ranging from salads, sandwiches and soups to fish/pie and chips. They also do a stonkingly good Breakfast and it's the perfect hangover cure!

This is my first experience of and Aldi store, and I must say I'm hugely impressed!…read more We visited on the stores 'grand opening' and a lovely member of staff gave my daughter a balloon! brill - it kept her entertain so I could have a good nosy round. what I noticed first that some of the produce, washing up liquid for example was extreemly cheap, 60p I think, but it was in the same shape and style bottle as fairy liquid. The only thing different was the lable and that's what's great about Aldi, you're getting top brand stuff, perhaps with a different lable at rock bottem prices! Excellent! It's well worth having a good browse round as there're lots of bargains to be found.

Cracking new Aldi store at Monks Cross in York!…read more This place opened in November 2008 and is really good, a lot bigger than the other Aldi in York and in a great lcoation adjacent to one of Yorks biggest and best out of town shopping centres, Monks Cross. There is a huge array of food, drink and other items available from TVs to laptops! The only drawback is that that car park is a bit on the small side for a shop of this size!

So good. This place had so much to offer and the shelves are fully stocked. The staff was very…read morenice and helpful. It was cool to see what foods were available in a convenient store. It just seems like the food was fresher and more healthy than the options in America. It's basically a nice grocery store. I think we bought travel butt wipes here.

There is a good range of items and it would be fairly easy to pick up all the items you may need for meal as long as there wasn't anything too obscure. There are usually some good offers available too and it usually doesn't that long to pay either. The store is clean, feels much larger than it actually is and has a good, logical layout. Overall this Tesco Express is an excellent small supermarket.

I like Sainsbury's generally, but I find this one a bit of a pain in the a* if I'm honest. The…read morelayout is bizarre (I'm a Morrisons girl usually, and theirs makes sense), with clothes right next to fresh fruit and vegetables. And I don't like how the vegetables are stored in those big green boxes. It's tricksy. I went there today because I was at the Homebase next door, and was really disappointed because all I wanted was some Golden Syrup Oats So Simple, and they had sold out! The whole cereal aisle looked like a tornado had hit it. The guy at the checkout was either on day release or a bit of a stoner (will I get in trouble for saying that? Hope not). Really slow, half asleep, and even though I'd put a 'bag for life' on top of all my shopping so he could scan it through first and then I could actually pack my shopping, he decided to move it to the back of my shopping instead. He then looked at me like I was a bit mental and said in a really pitying tone 'do you need some bags then?'. No thanks Mr Stoner, I would like the bag I just gave you please. That would be awesome.

This is my local sainsbury's that I've been going to for 10 years, when it was next to blockbuster…read moreoriginally and before it doubled in size a couple of years ago! It's a good store, nothing particularly special but the staff all seem to be fairly helpful, particularly if you have young children with you, they seem to understand the pressure you can sometimes be under. The clothing section is fab, especially for children, although there is about 80% girls clothes, 20% boys, but that's always the way. Their prices are really great, especially as my little one seems to go into the next size week by week. The fish counter is lovely and the fish monger with the white beard is very helpful, although they're all ok. The cafe upstairs is nice but you need to use the lift to get up there and when it's out of order and you have your buggy with you and your shopping and you just want to go for a wee or change your baby it's a bit of a trek with an assistant to use the staff utility lift, but they do let you. The worst thing about the store is the horrendous parking, as with all sainsbury's everywhere in my experience. The spaces are far too narrow, as are the roadways between the parking, makes reversing (which I am good at before you ask) very tight, brilliant when you've got a wriggling baby to distract you as well. Handy having homebase next door too, it's walkable if you don't have to carry too much back to the car.

The store is situated in a very large building that looks like a department store towering over the…read morestreet. I suspect it is most frequently visited by restaurant/cafe owners or those with massive families who stock up on huge bags of rice, pulses and other products available in 'bulk buy'. They do, however, sell single portions of things for the lone shopper who enters anyway despite the huge 'cash and carry' exterior, such as myself. I managed to find cans of Coconut milk for only 59p each which is almost half the price of other retailers. My whole basket came to less than a fiver, which would have been more around the £8 - £10 mark in most other shops. They sell vegetables, breads, and meats fresh or frozen. Biscuits, sweet goods, kitchen wear such as baking trays and other handy bits and bobs, and various cosmetics such as bath/shower gel etc. Susan is right about the name being somewhat confusing as it is mainly foods from Asia and Africa and not the common British conception of 'continental food' (deli style West European). If you are after the latter (Italian, French, Spanish etc) you are probably better off going to a deli in town or a chain supermarket.

Specialises on pulses/spices/grain/meat/breads/veg and sauces I would associate with West Indian/Pakistani/Asian and possibly even Greek cooking. I'm a regular here to stock up on spices/chick peas and even black peppercorns as they're so cheap! I also frequent the butchery for Mutton or Goat to do in a curry. Prices are fantastic, packages have a variety of sizes to suit your needs and it's like an Aladdin's Cave. Go have a snoop around, I bet they stock something you'll want to buy at a great price!

Although it's mainly a small supermarket for the local people, it's worth knowing about if you're in the area, as it's one of the cheapest places you'll find for your groceries and bits and pieces. For a small store, they're also surprisingly good at stocking some of the more unusual brands. Plus, you can rummage through bins full of cheap CDs and DVDs, where there's the occasional bargain.

There is usually a cafe but this is currently closed. There is a huuuge car park and is part of the Clifton Moor shopping park, so there is a wide variety of other large stores such as Wickes, B&Q, Wilkinsons, Harveys, Pets at Home, and loads more within easy reach.
