The water spray used in the States and lots of other countries doesn't keep produce fresh, it actually makes it rot faster. What it does is make it look 'dewy', so you're more likely to buy it.

That's absolutely correct Douglas. It's a marketing ploy to spray with water and as you say doesn't keep it fresh but actually can reduce shelf life

Every city has lots of these 'local' food stores (Sainbsury's, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, etc), in the city centres and suburbs. They are places to pop in to get a few items, or buy something for your lunch. For a wider range of products and to do a larger shop, everyone goes to their larger branches.

Ribena is a black currant juice drink. Black currant is what you’ll find for things where Americans would use Concord grapes, i.e., jam, fruit juice, jelly (but the English don’t have much in the way of jelly - what you spread on toast) but you will occasionally find Bramble jelly. I buy it for PBJs, because I don’t like jam on PBJs. Brits refer to the plant not the fruit on the label - so the label for blackberry jam is Bramble jam or Bramble jelly. What Americans usually think of as jelly is actually a brand name, Jello, for the refrigerated fruity treat. And that’s what Brits think you’re talking about when you mention ‘jelly’.

@RollerbazAndCoasterDad 2 года назад

Yeah as folk are saying this place is about a 10ththe size of a full sainsbury's. These locals and metros are aimed at the lunch Market and picking up just a few things in a rush. You wouldn't do a full shop there. These small stores have been designed to crush what you would call Mom and Pop stores. And they've largely done it after 15 years.

These type of small stores are generally more expensive and under-staffed, as they are classed as convenience stores, rather than supermarkets.

@NailHeavenAshford 2 года назад

They aren’t really under staffed. They have the staff they need. Slight under staffing is better. People have to work stocking shelves instead of chatting (which is the usual pastime of overstuffed stores) and they also have the self service tills so you don’t need lots of cashiers, only one for the cigarettes and lottery kiosk where those who get confused with self service can go to check out.

Hey guys! I work in the building opposite that Sainsbury's! Thanks for coming to York. We have a lot of little Sainsbury's Locals and Tesco Expresses in town because not only do people working there pop in for lunch, but also York, of course, has lots of visitors to cater for. There are two bigger Sainsbury's and two bigger Tescos in retail parks on the edge of town. The street that Local is on has four hotels at the other end of it, so Sainsbury's are targetting guests there as well as locals.

One of the differences between UK and US infrastructure is how we build our town and cities. You build large housing zones with supermarkets and other commercial buildings in a different zone and you need your cars to go and do a 'big' shop. We mix the two in one area so will have a lot of smaller more convenient shops in addition to larger supermarkets which may be on the outskirts of towns. You were in one of the smaller shops. It has nothing to do with the size of the town.

Definitely a common model here that you have these smaller stores near where people live.

In the UK we don't pay VAT (Value added Tax) on a lot of our food. It's one of the better things we do, especially right now given the costs skyrocketing in regards to a lot of "basics". Doesn't apply to restaurants or, largely speaking junk food (such as crisps, sports drinks etc) but most ingredients to make up a meal is VAT free. It may be why things feel slightly cheaper than when travelling to the US. We should certainly remember this and make sure they don't take it away from us.

Tesco, Sainsburys etc started small, high street shops (usually slightly dearer with tailored, pared down lines) relatively recently. The main, really huge branches are 'edge of town' with free parking (for a couple of hours-see signage) and possibly 'own brand' fuel and sometimes slowish electric charging. Other supermarkets include ASDA (now British again), Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Coop and posh Waitrose. Upstart, ultra efficient Germans ALDI and LIDL are fast expanding, supposedly cost cutting competition in a fierce market.Tesco, Sainsbury, ASDA etc have large online booked time slot home delivery options for a decade or more. It isn't legal to video in 'private' spaces such as (highly competitive) supermarkets or malls without formal permission (unlikely), but hey, you got away with it!

It's a local. It's much smaller, much less options and the prices are hiked from the main supermarkets. It's kinda an exploitative way to cash in when you need something quickly but don't have time to go to the proper supermarket and these are usually located in walking distance from homes and work streets. I'd say the Sainsbury's I go to is possibly 10 to 15 times larger than a local and prices/deals are significantly more enticing. Every product you looked at is cheaper in the main store.

Its the other way round. Clear honey is untreated and will form large crystals. Set honey is produced by adding seed crystals and then churning to form a large number of small crystals. This prevents the formation of larger crystals. Some flowers, e.g. linden and rape, produce naturally set honey.

Eggs in the uk are not washed because the welfare requirements are higher and standers higher than the US for example in Europe all chicks are vaccinated against e-coli and salmonella, a cost the US industry does not want, it appears they prefer to wash and treat chickens with antibiotics. .

That’s a teeny, tiny, weeny Sainsbury’s. You’re in a little high street pop in store. The usual big ones have clothes, phones, electric stuff, bathroom stuff and a restaurant. The water spraying just makes stuff look good and go off quickly. You’ll see misting in the veg section in Morrison’s sometimes. Sainsbury’s food is often better tasting than Tesco but Tesco has lots of cleaning product deals, which makes it very much cheaper.

This is just a small version of Sainsbury's the larger stores have so much more choice.

That was definitely a smaller sainsbury, all the big stores we have smaller versions of as well, apart from asda i dont think Asda do smaller versions.

@katbryce 2 года назад

Asda have a few petrol station shops, not that many though. They've just been taken over by Euro Garages though, so my guess is we will see a lot more of them in future.

@andrewgraysrailvids2316 2 года назад

They actually do do smaller asda stores , they are called asda supermarket, there's one in old Swan liverpool and one in birkenhead North by the Raul station of same name

This is NOT a regular Sainsbury's supermarket. It's a Sainsbury LOCAL. A much smaller and less well-stocked type of Sainsbury store. Their version of a corner-shop.

@skyebates246 2 года назад

That is a Sainsbury's express it's only a tiny one in the bigger ones you would get much larger sections that do the things you described.

The fact that you’re not video professionals makes your videos nicer and more fun. You’re normal and not making yourselves different for the videos. This video was fun. What would you make of a Sainsbury’s or Tesco superstore?!

@jules.8443 2 года назад

Sainsburys & Tesco's have bigger stores that sell clothing and home essentials: i.e. bedding, kitchen equipment, bathroom things like scales. You went to Tesco Express and a smaller Sainsburys.

@ED11116 2 года назад

This is a Sainsbury’s Local - a smaller version of the actual Sainsbury’s supermarkets. It’s more a convenience store, so there isn’t as much of a selection.

@thoso1973 2 года назад

Yeah, it's just a small supermarket providing for primarily local residents. Walking distance from where you live. Such small local supermarkets or grocery shops are found all over Europe; it's the normal. The big outlets are mostly located near cities, near main roads and they have big parking lots, because people come in cars and buy in bulk. Similar to the US.

Local Sainsbury's. Smaller selection and pricier than a regular one. The supermarkets do everything, clothes, bed linen, kitchenware etc.

@richcyclo2933 2 года назад

Tesco and other UK companies have tried opening these local stores in the USA, I think Tesco had around 200 stores mainly in the west called Fresh & Easy. Tesco pulled out 10 years ago losing billions.

Go to a Sainsbury supermarket - it's (a lot) cheaper. The same with Tesco Express.

@billmayor8567 2 года назад

Sainsbury’s is my regular supermarket. The one you went to is very tiny one. The regular Sainsbury’s is quite large and with a huge variety of foods. Sainsbury’s also has the meal deal( which is I think better than Tesco’s) most supermarkets have meal deals.😊

You guys probably don't appreciate the price differences between UK supermarkets. From most expensive to least expensive... Waitrose - used by people who don't like to keep money. They prefer to pay twice as much to impress the neighbours. Sainsury's - Similar to Waitrose but slightly cheaper Marks & Spencer (M&S) - Similar to Sainsbury's Tesco - Top end of normal supermarkets ASDA - Mid range. Similar to Tesco Morrisons - Mid range. Similar to Tesco LIDL - Cheap with lots of European goods ALDI - Same as LIDL Due to cost of lining crisis, many people have moved down the list to do their weekly shopping.

@spanishdncr71 2 года назад

You won’t tend to find a large supermarket in a small town. You usually have to drive to get to the big supermarkets. The one you’re in is more like a Tesco Express and what is called a convenience store in the states. As I was writing this I heard what the young man said at the end.

@tahiti1 2 года назад

Thats only a "baby" Express community Sainsbury, there are also big ones and huge hypermarket ones. You get much better fresh produce at thise. Sainsbury Local is just a convenience store

@lucyhardy-styles-shield2728 2 года назад

I'd recommend you guys try Lidl or Aldi if they have supermarkets around where you guys are staying. They have some great stuff in the middle aisles since they're where they keep some right bargains and they're really well priced compared to Sainsbury's (not hating on them since I do shop there from time to time) also, try Asda, they're owned by Walmart now so we do get some American stuff in our stores

Fun fact: There used to be "Giant" and "Titan" bank noted issued by the Bank of England for circulation in order to back Scottish and Irish currencies. They're no longer in circulation today, but these notes were worth £1,000,000 and £100,000,000 respectively when they were in use. (Edit: Additional information)

@mel_arky 2 года назад

Yea you visited a Sainsburies Local, which is simply a quick small little store for the bare essentials (Tesco also has Tesco Metro which is a smaller version). The bigger Sainsburies supermarkets tend to offer more things like, electrical goods, clothes, houseware (depends on each supermarket too), some have a pharmacy, opticians, some even offer cafe/restaurants, and extra little stores (some have Argos in too which is a reservation style warehouse catalogue store (order an item from a book, see if its in stock, wait for it to get sent to the counter from their warehouse storage and buy right there, instead of having all the items on show, makes for a smaller store footprint, with them hiding the warehouse above / below / behind the storefront, people dont buy groceries from it, its for more permanent things.)

@timmartin2894 2 года назад

The Sainsburys 'local' or Tesco 'Express' are the smaller versions of these stores. The main Sainsburys and Tescos supermarkets are about 10x bigger than this store...

In Europe, chickens are vaccinated against salmonella, which is why they are not washed, and hence not needed to be kept in the fridge : )

Sainsbury's Local and Tesco Express are the convenience store versions of Sainsbury's and Tesco supermarkets, usually located in busy parts of town with not much space for hypermarkets. Sainsbury's and Tesco have hypermarket size stores too, normally located in outer parts of towns.

@billydonaldson6483 2 года назад

Sainsbury’s Local and Tesco Express are only small convenience stores that are more expensive than their larger supermarkets. In the US eggs are washed and therefore bacteria can leach through the shells, as a result the eggs need refrigeration. In the U.K. egg production is strictly controlled, flocks can’t be mixed and numbers are strictly controlled. In the US flocks can be mixed and added to, this can cause cross contamination within a flock. In the U.K. eggs are not washed so therefore don’t need refrigeration.

@Naeron66 2 года назад

Sainsbury's Local and Tesco Express are both what you would probably class a Convenience Stores. They are mainly for doing small amounts of shopping. For a proper shopping trip we go to the main Stores which are many times bigger, have more choice, and the sell the larger pack sizes
