It's the first time I've really missed Woodys since it shut down. I went to bed very early last night, 10pm and woke up at 4am. I had just enough coffee for one cup. The security blanket that Woodys provided has gone.
I hardly use Sainsburys. I went in at the weekend and walked out again when I saw the prices.

Anyone else noticed how Sainsbury's has changed from 'Sainsbury's Local Stroud Green' (wasn't there even a sign outside which said that at the start) to 'Sainsbury's Local Crouch Hill'. It isn't even on Crouch Hill.
Otherwise, they occasionally have better offers on individual products than Tesco (ie Loyd Grossman pasta sauce is currently cheaper in Sainsbury's) but yeah, given the limited range and high prices I've mainly I've found it of more indirect use in inspiring Tesco to get its act together.
I think Armageddon will be fought at the crossroads of SGR, Hanley Road and SHR.
Whilst we're on interesting crisp selections, Nisa is a great find by the station. They have rare Walkers French Fries Worcester Sauce flavour and genuine Irish Tatos.
Currently I think Chipsticks and Squares are probably the best salt and vinegar crisps, but I still miss S&V Walkers Max.
Beyond these three flavours I have no opinion.
I buy crisps and snacks for a living. Here are the top selling lines in our retail outlets. Walkers Cheese & Onion is by far the most popular line......never got it myself. Once you've had a bag, you taste it the whole day. Meh.
For me, its Cofresh Jalepeno twirls!
Monster Munch Roast beef is #16, Pickled Onion #28, French Fries Worcester Sauce #29
