Sainsbury's*: making the world a better place


Cute (but the new wing...)


(When did you last thank your supermarket's manager?)

Two litres of pure squeezed orange juice for two quid, a bag of decent ground Arabica for another two, some 750 (estimate), inconspicuously (by the look of them) genetically modified  Californian resins for 75p, a kilo of warmly-coloured sexy apples for a quid, discounted Brussels paté for …I’m too embarrassed to admit how little, and – last but foremost – a bottle of Taylor’s Late Bottled Vintage for half the usual price**. All in all, first thing tomorrow I'm going back to the store to thank the manager.




*but the S. wing… - no, I’ll leave it for the time being - you don't want me to spoil one of my rare up-beat, non-religious posts (non-religious?? Rubbish! Before I go to that manager, I’ll praise the Lord, the ultimate giver of all good prices - … oh, my God: I’ve just realised what I’ve written. There is simply no getting over Jesus...)
*and it wasn’t one of those phoney offers, where the wine is never sold at the ‘normal’ price;or never worth it.
