Sainsbury?s dog kennel hill


Recommended Posts

I haven't been to Sainsburys at DKH for several years as I order online. Went recently and found the lighting terrible and ended up with a headache after 15 minutes in there. Won't be repeating that trip again any time soon.

I think with this one and the Lower Sydenham store, it seems to be a struggle to make a profit these days. The Sydenham one is apparently the largest in the UK (of Sainsbury).

Changing shopping habits, people shopping online (obvs) plus shopping little and often which favours the smaller local stores.

The darker lighting is great for picking up the ladies as they can't see my face, hump or the fact I walk in a funny way


Don't knock the only advantage I have 😂😂

The bargains aren't there even though they claim they are the same price.


Use by/Best before dates have got worse in the past few years everywhere - what was once 2 weeks can now be 3 days unless you go through what they've got (and then the older ones just get left for the sucker who doesn't check) and again all this takes time and you have 2 hours.


of course - online you get what they bring. I've tried specifying less ripe fruit please and bread/cold meat/milk with 5+ days - but they aren't really going to listen I guess and then I end up chucking it :(.

You all need to try the Co-op and their prices


Just one thing I noticed yesterday Bassetts Jelly Babies ?1.60


Same thing available in a few small shops on Lordship Lane for ?1.00


I thought The Co-op was the 'Peoples' supermarket where did the 'Divi' go ?

Glad it?s not just me , I?m a carer and half the things I need to get are rarely there even though Sainsbury?s own .agree about lighting. I enquired about getting a loaf of bread without that days date on and was told we don?t reduce until tonight, I just wanted a loaf with at least a couple of days on and they didn?t have one 😩

I don't think it's unique to DKH or Sydenham, but there seems to be generally less stock available in Sainsburys, and they've started restocking aisles at peak times, which they never used to do and is really frustrating as it makes it a lot harder to navigate around the store.


I assumed it was because they were also picking online orders from the shelves rather than in back or because they run with a skeleton staff at nights when they would otherwise have to pay more for out of hours working.

I definitely think it's gone down hill. Lots of things not in stock when I go and not enough sales assistants to help. I think it's a shame. However, it's generally the more esoteric things I need and I find that I can source most of them from SMBS or Organic Village, or elsewhere on LL.

Their vegetables do not look fresh anymore, they never have king edwards potatoes or pizzas even at 11am.


The staff look so miserable and bored.


I find lately I go in happy but come out feeling miserable. This shop really drains my energy its so boring.


They need to play music in this store cause its so depressing, especially when there is no one In it. The shop is in silence.

I rarely go in there, but yes, when I do the people on the tills seem like they can hardly bring themselves to serve you.


On one occasion I actually said to the person on the checkout "You look like you really enjoy your job" and she looked at me and said "No I don't" :))


Whereas the people in M&S are almost always really cheerful and helpful.

I have found overpricing a real issue since I started using self scan, several items in each shop ive done recently have come up more expensive on screen than on the shelf, I have raised this several times now at the stores in question and been assured it would be checked and amended but only to find the same error on same products the following shop!

Sainsbury's recently got rid of their FREE flimsy plastic bags for Fruit and Veg. Thats's Good.


They now SELL small stronger (reuseable) ??? Bags for fruit and veg for 30p each.

You may need 4-5 of these if are buying Fruit and veg and want to keep them separate.

There is a real risk of contamination if you reuse them. (Dirty Loose Potatoes, Greens, Coriander) ??

They are made from Recycled Plastic Bottles but not sure if they themselves can be recycled.


On the other hand a PLUS for the Co-op.. They are doing Large Recyclable Green bags for 5p

They are suitable for food waste and marked as such and cheaper and stronger than the rolls

of food waste bags available elsewhere. ?3.95 for 25 15.8p each


Sainsbury's actually doing Nothing for the environment.

    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
    • You know when you are wrong but think you're right because the internet etc? Read it and twist it how you want if it makes you feel better. I use a card as well as cash. You are pro jumping the gun and pro cynical. Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    • Using cash is a good way of budgeting for some, if they don't have the cash in their pocket they can't buy things they may not need.  Financial institutions are keen to get us to all use plastic and credit because its harder to spot when you are at your limit and debit equates to interest which is how they make money. So dear Sephiroth, before you slam people for being pro cash, maybe think about why they are and not just view the world from your limited perspective 🤔 
    • The card machine in the dry cleaner's wasn't working, so the guy asked my husband to go to the cash till and withdraw some money....
