    I have shopped at all the supermarkets and quite honestly Sainsbury`s while it isn`t the cheapest it is the least stressful (in my area at least) The store is usually clean and staff are helpful. Aldi and Lidl are like jumble sales and Asda have gone downhill since parting ways with Walmart. As a disabled person it is important that I do my shopping in as little stress as possible. Tesco is now more expensive than Sainsbury`s and I personally find it of a poorer quality. Huge shout out to the staff at Sainsbury`s Warren Health Ipswich you guys are amazing

    The big supermarket chains don't get it about packaging. They focus on plastics and the instore bags but that is only a minor part of the problem. Producers are packaging their products with so much plastic and cardboard, most of it is overpackaged. Even snack packs have so much wasted air in them which causes extra delivery costs and wasted packaging. Even the inks they use to print on all these products are a problem.

      First off, as even Greenpeace will tell if you press them hard enough, there are processes to recycle ALL plastics and those processes are becoming more and more feasible every day. I personally feel that plastics are better for food in terms of freshness and safety... I would not want all the food that needs to be kept fresh out in the open for even to put their germy hands on. No thanks. And paper packaging, despite being easier to recycle at the moment, is not better than plastics - nor is it better environmentally (requires dirty factories and causes more pollution up the stack)...

    • @RiverDanube
      @RiverDanube 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      What do you mean by stating 'first off'? I didn't mention anything about not using plastics. I mentioned the fact that there is so much over packaging and wastage that causes extra costs in storage, delivery and resources. There is way to much spent on fancy packaging and printing. What is it exactly that you disagree with in my comments?

    You got those green peace lot saying how Sainsburys need to cut down on plastic but yet it looks like they are using some kind of plastic for what they stick up onto the windows at the head office. And the banner thing that they use to take place of the comoany slogan. Seems a little on the contradictive side no?
    Also all the customers saying how this plastic and that plastic isn't necersary talking about the problems but you don't hear them providing a solution. If it doesn't get some kind of protection and just goes out with nothing on it then it's likely the produce will end up getting more damaged and ruined and bashed about from the long transits it takes from different UK locations/oversea locations. I guarantee you remove all the plastics like they want and then suddenly everyone is moaning about the fact they can't get good quality produce that doesn't look like crap and then you end up with an increased amount of produce waste
    Those reusable fruit and veg bags are a good idea for sure but i feel like they are gonna end up with a big problem of theft on them. They pay 30p for the bag and then reuse it every time. But how does the checkout staff know that the customer has already paid for it? All the customer has to do is rip off that little cardboard tag and they won't know any different if it's already been purchased before....
    Plus i really don't get the purpose of having a weather guy at the head office. He rings up MET office for them to tell him the weather so he can tell the office the weather.....but it sounds like the weather they are telling him can just as easily be found on the website/app...

My idea is to make them so extremely expensive, nobody would even consider using or buying them. F.e. 5 pounds for the smallest bag. You will see how fast people bring their own bags, crates or bags.

      There is plenty of British lamb, Welsh, Irish, Scottish & English. The difficulties are that we lamb in April/May in the UK.. Easter is March/April... when you're looking at lambs being around 6-9 months at kill weight then UK lamb sale comes around in October time so not ideal for British Easter. The other difficulty is the standards of British meat is held higher than NZ or Aussie meat. As someone whos been in both the UK & NZ farming industries, it is ridiculous that the majority of UK meat is sourced from NZ and the majority of NZ meat is shipped abroad and the worst standards get kept for the Kiwi's.. The british supermarkets are improving with selling our meat, but the standards of our meat means that the price that supermarkets want to sell at to meet consumers wants is too low for our standards of production to meet... does that make sense? British farming is exceptional in terms of standards and the british consumers also want to buy meat at such a low cost that we cannot compete with overseas suppliers :(

      Disposable gloves are a relatively new invention. Most bakers do not wear gloves for a number of reasons. The dough will stick to the gloves, and you also need to be able to feel the dough to make sure it is right. Washing your hands, which they do, is better then gloves. Gloves give a false sense of security to people like you. But when you wear gloves, you can't feel that they are getting dirty and people usually wear them much too long. If you don't wear gloves, you wash your hands much more often then people change their gloves. So it is actually cleaner to no wear them. Gloves do not have any magical germ repellent properties and can transfer germs just like hands do.
