If anything I find it's prices are slightly on the higher side compared to the other 2 and the stores seems lacking when it comes to over all products be that food/every day items or electrical.

I've also noticed Sainsbury's tend to have their stores on the posher areas hence the prices.

On the other hand Morrison's tend to be ok to shop at.
The business analysists on the BBC news seem to concur that the general demographic of both retailers are at polar opposite ends of the spectrum.

I agree with GM about Asda thinking that customers will forgive all shortcomings if prices are low and doing everything as cheaply as possible. Whenever i've had a problem they just initially tried to throw a paltry £5 at me instead of sorting it out!

I simply used the £15 voucher that I ended up getting (it was like pulling teeth) and shopped elsewhere.
