Sainsbury’s

This Sainsbury is much bigger then I thought it would be. We where here to find two things: an glutenfree meal for my sister and the real curry powder for me.
We found a larg line of glutenfree stuff and other allergy free things. Especially the funny things, are the things I remember: Peanutbutter without peanuts. and egg-​free mayonnaise.
Anyhow: that what they are selling, you can buy in large proportions and from different brands.
If you can’t find something on your list: just ask, because I’m sure they have it!
On the weekend before Christmas it was a very busy place to be, so a long wait for before you can pass an other person.
Oh and I found lots of different tasted and different brands for the curry powder, I bougt two versions so I’m sure that I have enough until my next trip to the UK (somewhere at the end of spring)

Always well-​stocked, always, well, busy.
This is a mid-​size store conveniently located just off Chiswick High Road. With a good variety of produce, there’s nothing to fault once you get in the store. But that’s just it. This has to be one of the hardest stores to get into. First one has to contend with a carpark that caters not only to customers, but seemingly the whole of Chiswick. There is never any space because the barriers are always broken and Hounslow council are absolute **** when it comes to parking tickets and providing parking. And when you park, you have to make it into the store. Through the two double-​doored entrances. Made narrower by the security scanners. And this is a very busy Sainsbury’s. Complete with dawdling mothers and clueless children who flock to the narrowest parts of the store to discuss popsocks and transformers. Great.

I admit, I am a bit of a Sainsbury’s fan. My mum used to shop there when I was at home, and I did my time on the checkouts! So it’s a place I know and trust. I’ve shopped at other supermarkets, but have always come back to Sainsbury’s.
This store is fairly large, but I tend to avoid it and go to the Richmond branch as this one is so busy, and they have a really small car parkat weekends for instance, you have pretty much no chance of getting a space! It’s ridiculous!
They also don’t seem to have a large amount of checkouts open, so you end up having to wait a fair while (unlike the other branch!)
This is also one of only a few places to park in Chiswick High Road. Sainsbury’s bought in a policy where you have to spend £5 instore to get free parking, which I admit I have abused once or twice, but it’s a bit annoying to try and remember to find your car park card at the checkoutI’ve forgotten to get it scanned in the past and had to go back instoreotherwise they’ll charge you £50!
Anyway, it’s a nice store, but parking makes it a no-​no for me
