You really have to be signed up to "Nectar" price deals to get the best deal from Sainsburys.

Sainsbugs ?!

A nickname they acquired back in the days of listening to Sarah Kennedy on Radio 2.

This shocked me - not whether or not Sainsbugs or Waitrose is more expensive - we all have our personal preferences, and it depends so much on what you use a supermarket for and whether like me you go for the yellow stickers.
But it was the definition of a “big shop”-
Take a deep breath

“Top shops Prices compared”
Sainsbury’s
£359.23

Waitrose
£355.51

Tesco
£350.41

Ocado
£349.79

Morrisons
£332.22

Asda
£325.71
(Based on a trolley of 131 items analysed by Which?) Unfortunately it doesn’t specify which 131 items. Smoked salmon? Malt whisky? Sourdough bread?
It surely can’t be for a weekly shop ?
Call me out of date but even for a pre-Christmas shop (excluding the turkey and wine) I have never, as far as I can remember, rung up a bill of £350+ and if not Christmas, not even in the days when there were 5 of us.

Am I really so out of touch with reality?
