The only beef I like from Sainsbury's is Jamie Oliver's vacuum-packed aged steaks. In my opinion they consistently beat most of what is on offer for steaks in supermarkets, even though I know some people hate the idea of vacuum-packing food, but I think it works well with aged steaks.

Hurrah! Sainsburys is open again. I never thought I'd say that.

I've refused to shop there since Starbucks closed and have discovered a whole new world of small independent traders out there in East Dulwich. The food market in Northcross Road on Saturday has revolutionised my cooking - I never knew a roast could taste that good. We now have organic fruit and veg delivered by Pretty Trad and I can't remeber how life was without SMBS, East Dulwich Deli, the Cheese block etc. That was until today when curiosity lead me into the new Sainsbs store.

Marvelling at the airiness of the sleek new Starbucks, I was immediately drawn in for a soya latte, feeling disloyal and unfaithful to Mon Petit Chou. But I was there solely for research purposes of course until I was spotted by Karolina who came rushing over, kissed me and handed me a presentation goodie bag for returning to the store!

That was it - all my good intentions ran away, faster than my shopping trolley span around the shiny new aisles. The guilt, the guilt! I know I shouldn't love Sainsburys but I do. Confession over.

I didn't get a goodie bag. pee'd off now.

For the record - don't like the new fruit & veg layout. It will be a scrum when it's busy.

Complain to Karolina tomorrow then - in case you didn't know she's the gorgeous blonde.

Goodie bag had Starbies mug complete with ribbon, a book on Starbies coffees, a bar of white chocolate (not my fave unfortunately), and some free coffee beans >:D<
