Supermarket Layouts

Sainsbury’s seems to be a complete nightmare (at least for me) whenever I need to go in quickly and pick up a few things because I can’t find anything. Things aren’t where I would expect. For example, I wanted kitchen roll. Kitchen roll is generally with the toilet rolls in the paper wrapped around cardboard aisle. Not in Sainsbury’s their not. Kitchen roll is with detergents, which is… obvious.

I also wanted some tomato ketchup. Luckily I have learnt from previous Sainsbury’s wanderings that condiments are in the frozen section, because of course pickles do go with turkey twizzlers…

After my experience with UKfast, I expect Mr Sainsbury to ring me up personally and offer to rearrange my local stores to my liking (and get some more ciders in please). I think that’s fair.

Oh, and the taste the difference beef joint I bought to roast has instructions about cooking the meat slowly to improve it’s flavour, then starts off by instructing you to pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees C. Eh?
