This is handy if you live nearby and there is a pedestrian walkway through from the nearby estate (not advisable after dark!). The road out can be awkward at times (really needs traffic lights!) but a nice average sized supermarket. They have a small range of kids clothes and toys, along with books, CD's, DVDs etc and loads of lovely chocolate! Best time to go is around 7pm when they put reductions out in the cold area and the bread section (they have a bread slicer!).
They have the usual sainsburys offers but these tend to sell out quickly and especially the alcohol which take a while for restocking.
There is also an instore chemist and the usual toiletries - own brand is well worth trying.
Staff are friendly and queues not usually too bad

This is the mother of all Sainsbury's on the ring road and is great for blitzing a fortnightly or weekly shop. There's plenty of parking and cash machines outside, and inside is enormous by Oxford standards. As well as all the different food ranges (you get the whole lot here from Basics to Taste the Difference), there are some bits of clothing and essentials like umbrellas and household equipment and electronics. However, like most supermarkets, they're not experts in this area, and better deals can usually be found elsewhere if you shop around. I came in here looking for an umbrella, but they had sold out of their cheap ones and the others were quite pricey. I ended up getting one from a corner shop for £2.99.
My favourite part of this Sainsbury's is the salad Pick'n'Mix. You select a plastic tub and fill it with pasta salad, potato salad, fried bread, cherry tomatoes, couscous, beansa whole variety of yummy salad goodies. You can cram a surprising amount into even the smaller tubs, then eat it for lunch with the plastic forks they provide, or take it home to accompany a meal later. Definitely a healthier alternative than fast food, and a darn sight cheaper too.
One of two larger Sainsbury's on the outskirts of Oxford, you definitely need a car to get to and from here. They have an excellent sandwich, salad range; as well as a full range of food, toiletries and even some clothes, electronics. Beware coming this way at or close to rush hour, the roads will be jam packed. There is also a petrol station.
