    Shopping tips

    Hi all
    For all those of you like me who have trouble waiting in queues in the supermarket, i just had to share with you what ive just found!!!
    Just been to sainsbury's and they have self service checkouts!!!
    No more queueing, just scan it yourself and pop in your money or card to pay! Ingenious.I was amazed.
    Love Sarah

    hi sarah,

    they have that in my local sainsburys too..its a great idea,they also have a change machine...stick all your loose change in,take a receipt,and either get notes for it,or use it to pay your shopping.

    a couple of weeks ago,i got nearly forty pounds,it was all in coppers,5p,10p etc..but the machine sorted it in just 2/3 mins...good ent it lol....bryan.

    Hi Sarah

    Years ago when I lived in Sheffield (5 years) Safeway introduced the "Shop and Go" where you scanned your own shopping and then paid for it at the end. It was a marvel.

    Then I moved here and I have not seen it since :-(

    I wonder whether they trust people enough to do their own!

    Great idea though isn't it?

    Bry - they have just introduced one of them at the Asda near to where I work. I am going to empty Alex's tin into it cos I hate bagging it all up. They donate a percentage of what you are changing to charity - can't remember how much though.

    Our local M&S have just introduced it too. A leap of faith when I first had a go - and made sure no one was waiting behind me - but easy peasy and so quick!
