People were always restocking shelves so you had plenty to choose from. We used both the self service and the manned checkout stands and they were equally efficient. Aisles were wide and the place was very tidy. If I lived nearby I would probably be in here every day.

This is one of the newer Tesco stores located in the central area in Sauchiehall street…read more This shop is well stocked with unusual imported foods that you would find hard to get in an international food store, I'm in general not a fan of Tesco and will only shop there if there is no where else open late. I find the security staff intimidating and rude I think one guy there has mummy issues and should really have counselling and not be taking his anger out on customers who do no wrong. The self service section is a joke as half of them have not been switched on and the one l used made me feel as if l just won the jackpot on a fruit machine in a pub, how can a shop justify paying a customer 62p change in 2p pieces. Ice cream that has been defrosted is being re frozen and sold again when l reported the issue to the duty manager he did nothing. Tesco sort yourselves out!

Sainsbury's on Buchanan is one of the largest Sainsbury's Local stores, I've come across, located…read moreby the Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow city centre, it's a great central supermarket for most of what you need. I was impressed by the selection in the store, with a good selection of cooked meats and dairy products including milk and cheese, tending to go beyond the usual Sainsbury's Local offering. The store is open daily until 10 pm, which is an hour earlier than most Sainsbury's Local stores in England from Monday to Saturday, as of course England is restricted by Sunday Trading laws. I wasn't a fan of the checkout area, it seemed too big and a little confusing, but the Sainsbury's Smartshop app is handy to skip the checkout as you simply scan items as you walk around the store, pay on your phone and head out. The staff weren't overly friendly or helpful, but still, it's probably the best place for groceries in Glasgow city centre in a prime central location within the city.

I like this supermarket which is conveniently located next to Buchannan St underground, and I've…read morebeen using it a lot more since my local Somerfield on Byres Road died and went to heaven (or perhaps hell, the store wasn't particularly good). For a city supermarket this has everything you need for that pop-in shop on your way home from work. There's a kiosk section with the usual magazines and tobacco products, as well as fridges full of lunch-time snacks. There's a decent bakery section, good fruit and veg, lots of easy-make dinner options and a good selection of booze for when you've had a particularly long day. Granted, Sainsbury's isn't the best value of the supermarket giants, but the bakery has discounts at the end of the day and it has a lot of its own-brand cereals, frozen foods and soups etc which are significantly cheaper than the big brand names. I usually pop in during the after work rush hour, but the long queues quickly disappear and you never have to wait very long for the self-service check-outs.

**300th review (and 100th this year!)**…read more Okay, okay, I finally 'get' the whole Waitrose thing. This isn't the nearest store to me, but browsing the shelves I was overwhelmed with the variety of products on offer and soon was having to resist the urge to go into a complete shopping frenzy. I realised that it felt like I was in an American supermarket. So much choice! So many new things to try! Must... resist.... As it was past lunchtime, we started off in the cafe and ordered a fish pie and a falafel wrap, with a couple of coffees and tarte au citrons (or lemon tart as they called it, clearly not trusting the erudition of the Milngavie residents). The coffee wasn't bad at all for a supermarket cafe, the experience only marred by the half-hour wait for the food to arrive, by which time it had gone cold and I was in need of a second one. Yes, it was rather busy, and they did apologise for the delay, but it would have been nice if they had warned us that it was going to take so long, whereupon I would have saved my coffee order until afterwards. However, the wrap was very tasty and came with a generous dollop of tzatziki on the side. The fish pie (Herself assures me) was also tasty, although the green salad came without any dressing, necessitating a raid on my tzatziki. Had we not had the delay in the cafe I would have given the place 5 stars. As it was, we came away with more purchases that we'd intended and considerably poorer than we'd planned; but then that's the main aim of a supermarket so they certainly succeeded there!

There is ample parking also and a good number of parent and child parking spaces. The store is bright yet warm and welcoming with lovely friendly staff, who are happy to help.

All in all this Waitrose is a very welcome addition to the East Dunbartonshire area. Top marks from me for the lovely cafe!

Sometimes you just want some carrots. An apple. A sandwich. And a bottled beverage. Or a…read morecookie. Answering that call: Marks and Spencer Simply Food. Where else, within Glasgow Central, would cater to all my gastric whims, while still allowing me to catch a soon-to-depart train? Were it not for M&S, I would be a writhing, starving mess huddled alone in a corner with an expired travel visa. But thanks to them, I was able to grab a sandwich sampler, some fruit and veg, a drink and dessert (all for well under 10 pounds) and eat my bounty on a train bound for Edinburgh. My food was delicious and reasonably priced, given the food court/train station prices as a benchmark.

However, while M&S food is almost always good, a few bad eggs can still slip through the net, as the frankly revolting chicken ceasar wrap I got the other day showed. It's rarely I describe a food item as "gross", but it's truly the most befitting description for this lunchtime disaster. 99.9% of their stuff is still excellent so don't let it put you off.

Handiest supermarket ever!!…read more I pass here daily, and often stop in to grab milk/whatever I've forgotten at other shops etc. It's not a big store at all, but it's great for ready meals and snacks, and also has fresh fruit /veg and a housey bit. The self serve machines have been pretty temperamental lately, but the staff are always friendly when sorting them out. Oh, it's a REALLY busy shop - especially in the evenings.

This has to win the award for 'most handily placed supermarket', seriously!…read more Ok, the stock is limited - you can choose from either Tesco Value, *Major Brand Name*, or Tesco Finest - but it's an 'express', i.e. convenience is key - you're not meant to have to choose from a gazillion brands of washing up liquids, or toilet paper. Fresh produce, large selection of wines, beers, and spirits, and it even manages to squeeze in 2 'self service checkouts' which is entertainment in itself - it amazes me how students in the area, studying highly intelligent subjects, cant understand how to use one of these machines, "it's in the bag! *BEEP* look it's in the RUDDY BAG! STOP telling ME it's NOT in the bag *BEEP* - it's in the BAG! AHHH!". Ahh, the small pleasures in life.

This shop has to be aimed at all the nearby office workers, due to no shortage of them…read more With shelves laden with sandwiches, wraps and rolls to go on their meal deal range, they seem to reduce food pretty early on the day to be sure that there is little to to bin at the end of the working day. I've seen at weekends like melon or even fresh asparagus for 20p. Sainsbury's are heading to the route of having little staff and more of those awkward self service counters. Overall the store has less variety & selection than a regular store but serves your basic need's.

This is the nearest Sainsbury's to my work so I pop into it quite a lot when I forget to pick up…read moreingredients during my main shop. Today I went in for a swede. I want to make stew and forgot to pick one up yesterday. Because I always go here after work and it closes early (i think it's opening hours reflect the surrounding office buildings), things start getting reduced at about 5 and I finish at 5 so always grab a bargain. I picked up half a swede, a small bag of new potatoes and a cauliflower all for the princely sum of 90p! They didn't have any vegan butter which I also planned to pick up but I will survive without it...for now. This place recently got self scanners which amuse me because as usual there was a man telling everyone to come use them but only 1 person on the actual checkout and a huge queue. Self scanners annoy me.

I'm really not a fan of supermarket shopping in the city centre - thankfully I don't have to do it…read morevery often. I popped in here to grab some last minute snacks for an event at the nearby Craft Pottery. This is a small Sainsbo's with a small-ish range. They did have everything I needed though - which was crisps and paper towel. The guy on the checkout was exceptionally helpful so big shoutout to him (Daniel, I think his name was) and packed the crisps into bags with flair like I've never seen at Waitrose. He's the reason this is a 4 not a 3-star review. Prices are reasonable, they have a good range of home brand crisps and a few of the varieties are even vegan (who knew bacon crispies would be made from beetroot?!). I'd go here over the nearby Tesco, for sure.

A decent Sainsbury's Local on Sauchiehall Street…read more 'Local' roughly translates as a shop that is really small, based on the size of this one and that's the main annoyance here is that it can be a bit cramped. They do a decent bakery and it's good for picking up bits and bobs if you're going to the GTF for e.g. but if there's a Co-Op and Tesco just up the road a bit and a proper big Sainbury's down the road in the opposite direction which stops me from actively seeking this place out.
