The water spray used in the States and lots of other countries doesn't keep produce fresh, it actually makes it rot faster. What it does is make it look 'dewy', so you're more likely to buy it.

Every city has lots of these 'local' food stores (Sainbsury's, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, etc), in the city centres and suburbs. They are places to pop in to get a few items, or buy something for your lunch. For a wider range of products and to do a larger shop, everyone goes to their larger branches.

Ribena is a black currant juice drink. Black currant is what you’ll find for things where Americans would use Concord grapes, i.e., jam, fruit juice, jelly (but the English don’t have much in the way of jelly - what you spread on toast) but you will occasionally find Bramble jelly. I buy it for PBJs, because I don’t like jam on PBJs. Brits refer to the plant not the fruit on the label - so the label for blackberry jam is Bramble jam or Bramble jelly. What Americans usually think of as jelly is actually a brand name, Jello, for the refrigerated fruity treat. And that’s what Brits think you’re talking about when you mention ‘jelly’.

They aren’t really under staffed. They have the staff they need. Slight under staffing is better. People have to work stocking shelves instead of chatting (which is the usual pastime of overstuffed stores) and they also have the self service tills so you don’t need lots of cashiers, only one for the cigarettes and lottery kiosk where those who get confused with self service can go to check out.

There are two bigger Sainsbury's and two bigger Tescos in retail parks on the edge of town. The street that Local is on has four hotels at the other end of it, so Sainsbury's are targetting guests there as well as locals.

One of the differences between UK and US infrastructure is how we build our town and cities. You build large housing zones with supermarkets and other commercial buildings in a different zone and you need your cars to go and do a 'big' shop. We mix the two in one area so will have a lot of smaller more convenient shops in addition to larger supermarkets which may be on the outskirts of towns. You were in one of the smaller shops. It has nothing to do with the size of the town.

Tesco, Sainsburys etc started small, high street shops (usually slightly dearer with tailored, pared down lines) relatively recently. The main, really huge branches are 'edge of town' with free parking (for a couple of hours-see signage) and possibly 'own brand' fuel and sometimes slowish electric charging. Other supermarkets include ASDA (now British again), Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Coop and posh Waitrose. Upstart, ultra efficient Germans ALDI and LIDL are fast expanding, supposedly cost cutting competition in a fierce market.Tesco, Sainsbury, ASDA etc have large online booked time slot home delivery options for a decade or more. It isn't legal to video in 'private' spaces such as (highly competitive) supermarkets or malls without formal permission (unlikely), but hey, you got away with it!

@gaelsomerville5163 Жыл бұрын

Sainsburys Local is a tiny version of the general supermarket. They typically put them in town centres where there is little room for a full size version shop. The prices in the local store is typically slightly higher than the standard store and of course the selection is much reduced. Our other main supermarkets also have their own version of this - smaller versions of their store in town centres or garages, etc.

In the UK we don't pay VAT (Value added Tax) on a lot of our food. It's one of the better things we do, especially right now given the costs skyrocketing in regards to a lot of "basics". Doesn't apply to restaurants or, largely speaking junk food (such as crisps, sports drinks etc) but most ingredients to make up a meal is VAT free. It may be why things feel slightly cheaper than when travelling to the US. We should certainly remember this and make sure they don't take it away from us.

Sainsbury's local is the fill -in stores between the bigger ones. You can get them in big or small towns it is about how close the main big store is rather than the population.

My main memories of York, from visits during childhood, are the old buildings and the Viking centre. My distant ancestors are from York and likely came over from Scandinavia.

@bacardimonk Жыл бұрын

I live in York and it's always fun watching people from outside the city or from another country be amazed by it. In York there are 3 BIG Retail parks 2 are more standard, with a Big supermarket and several smaller stores, Then there is the experience that is York Designer outlet over 120 Brand name designer stores with anything from "Boss" too "Yankee Candle". Mums favourite is Kate Spade

Sainsbury's Local and Tesco Express are both what you would probably class a Convenience Stores. They are mainly for doing small amounts of shopping. For a proper shopping trip we go to the main Stores which are many times bigger, have more choice, and the sell the larger pack sizes

Previous comment absolutely true,, if I turn right out of my street I am 200 yards from a small local Sainsbury. If I turn left I am less than a mile from a huge Sainsbury supermarket.

My third son and his husband, who live in SW London, use the larger Sainsbury for their major shopping, and tell me it offers great choice and quality, but isn't the cheapest. When shopping for a party or a dinner party, they prefer the choicer selection available at Waitrose or Marks & Spencer, though their local High Street shops in Barnes is where they shop for fresh stuff and wines. My fourth son, doing his final year at Edinburgh University, says he likes Sainsbury too, but his student budget requires him to use Lidl more often.

A, 'local', is more like a convenience store than a supermarket. Same produce but less of it and more condensed into a smaller shop.

@craigross341 Жыл бұрын

Lidl and Aldi are the shockers; they're like Whole Foods but with 70% off. I was in Whole Foods in Houston, Texas, and then in Aldi and Lidl soon afterwards. Honestly, Lidl and Aldi (for a lot of things) are about a third of the price. 500g low fat natural yoghurt in Lidl is 49p. Sixty cents!

Convenience stores like this used to be independently owned or franchised, but in the last couple of decades the big retailers like Sainsbury’s and Tesco have muscled in on the sector, branding their stores “Local” and “Express” respectively. They do, of course, have large stores mostly on the periphery of towns and cities, but probably not as big as you are used to in the US

@lucyhardy-styles-shield2728 Жыл бұрын

I'd recommend you guys try Lidl or Aldi if they have supermarkets around where you guys are staying. They have some great stuff in the middle aisles since they're where they keep some right bargains and they're really well priced compared to Sainsbury's (not hating on them since I do shop there from time to time) also, try Asda, they're owned by Walmart now so we do get some American stuff in our stores

Sainsbury's started in the 19th century, one shop, a Cheesemonger's, soon was nationwide selling only cheese, bacon, ham and sausages. Up until the 60's one had to queue at separate counters for cheese and meat products, Ham and bacon sliced to order and cheese cut the same, the price would be written on the paper that they were wrapped in and paid for at a cashiers desk. A form of early hygiene control. They became a supermarket chain in the late 60's early 70's and until the early 2000's was still a family owned business.

As J.P. said, these are just pop in stores for our Supermarkets. So if ever you see Express after the name for example...Tesco Express...They don't pretend to hold untold stock for you to buy like their proper large supermarkets, but they have all the things you might buy in passing to eat or drink on your journey, or even stuff to take home for a quick meal or bite to eat. The size of the store limits them, and limits the selection. So for a proper shop, it has to be a proper large Supermarket.

@jayjay4spurs Жыл бұрын

Bigger supermarkets tend to do more of their own brands as well as well known branded items. Local or express stores just has the basics of what you need if you weren't planning on doing a big/major grocery shop. The main Sainsbury's supermarket near me although doesn't have clothing like another Sainsbury's supermarket does, it does have a small homeware/electrical aisle as well as Argos (catalogue ordering service) collection point

@andrewbarbarash3116 Жыл бұрын

It's a local. It's much smaller, much less options and the prices are hiked from the main supermarkets. It's kinda an exploitative way to cash in when you need something quickly but don't have time to go to the proper supermarket and these are usually located in walking distance from homes and work streets. I'd say the Sainsbury's I go to is possibly 10 to 15 times larger than a local and prices/deals are significantly more enticing. Every product you looked at is cheaper in the main store.

Convenience stores (local stores) are typically more expensive than their larger counterparts, so prices in there are elevated.

The Local, Express, Metro etc type of shops are like what you might call corner shops in the UK or bodegas in the US, or I guess convenience stores in either country. Except they're branded with the supermarket name and have a range of items specific to the store branding... They're quite a modern idea where the supermarkets scaled down from their usual giant warehouse type stores at out of town retail parks into small stores within populated areas.

How long did it take you to get used to the price on the shelf being the price you actually pay ie not having to add tax? Because the opposite situation was a big shock the first time I went to America.
