An American shopper has shared her excitement after visiting Sainsbury's for the first time, as she was amazed by the lower prices in the UK. The customer, Ashley, posts videos about her family's recent move to the UK on her TikTok page @Thisislifewithashley.
In one video, Ashley gave the supermarket a ten out of ten rating. She praised the wide selection of chocolate, including orange chocolate and many KitKat flavours, and noted the prevalence of Henry and Hetty vacuum cleaners. She also marvelled at the extensive range of sausages and pies, saying, 'Pie people, this is your place.'
Ashley was particularly impressed by the £3.95 meal deal, which includes a sandwich, a drink and a snack. She also highlighted that the price displayed is the price paid, with no added tax at checkout, and that eggs are not refrigerated. She expressed curiosity about black pudding, asking viewers whether she should try it.
The video gained over 100,000 views and 5,000 likes. Commenters reacted with surprise at US pricing practices and offered advice on black pudding and other UK foods. Ashley concluded, 'Overall, the first Sainsbury's trip was a ten out of ten, and definitely not our last.'
