The fact is that Sainsbury's have messed around and in the end screwed over my football club, a local small business, costing it millions of pounds. More due to their own incompetence than anything, but the outcome is the same - they made an agreement with the club, knowing that it would cost the club millions to fulfil their end of the agreement, then when that's all done they have refused to go through with it. Sainsburys are the main bad guys in all of this.
It won't make a single bit of difference to the outcome, but I shall be avoiding them in the future. Surely all gasheads will be doing the same? |

I have done since this all started and will do in the future
I have also convinced my good friend Jayne & her family to stop shopping and buying food there as well

I have never really shopped at Sainsburys anywhere in the past and certainly would not do in the future and will be encouraging others not to do as well
when shopping locally my choices are firmly:
1. Lidls
2. Co op
3. M and S
4 (and I would have to be desperate) -Waitrose

Let's all go to Tesco's, where Gasheads buy their best clothes.

I only go to Sainsbury's to buy Frosties as they don't sell them in Lidl. Rest assure I won't be buying Frosties from Sainsbury's any more. I'm pretty sure the garage sells them, sure there might be a mark up but I'll show those orange b'stards.

You find an alternative to Classic Cola and I'm in.

I've been boycotting them ever since this all kicked off, it makes no difference to them but it makes me feel better.

As an aside are we know longer going to descend on Sainsburys Filton on mass, fill up our trolleys & leave without paying? Only asking as I've cleared out the spirits aisle but no-one has attacked the fruit & veg aisle yet

Even if people do boycott them now, will they in the future? I remember not so long ago everyone was going to boycott Gloucester Road but last time I was at Rovers the Welly seemed really busy to me. I'd like to say that I am one of the ones who stuck to my word and have not spent no money on that road for 2 years because what I say I actually mean.

I've never set foot in IKEA in Eastville, and I never will. Just my thing.
I'm also stood in Sainsbury's Filton with a trolley load of women's sanitory products. I'm getting lots of funny looks.

If you accidentally drop an expensive bottle of whisky on their side of the checkouts I've discovered they don't seem to mind too much and they don't expect you to pay. Policy may change though if it becomes a regular occurrence.
Shame they sold off Homebase a few years back. I would definitely have been up for a DIY embargo.

Do they still do that thing where on the packaging of their own brand products they say something like, if you were not entirely satisfied with this product, please bring back for a full refund?
I think you can eat the product and just take back the packaging to get your money back.
Why not do a big shop there, making sure the products you buy contain the refund proviso and take back all the packets and say I wasn't satisfied with all these products and in accordance with your stated policy I would like my money back please.
Could keep doing the same each week?

Would think that a more effective strategy would be to get the national press interested. Go with the angle of a super market going back on a deal with a community football club denying the local area sports facilities etc
Big supermarkets are taking a kicking at the moment and the press like giving a shoeing when someone is down..

I'm doing my bit in Wales too  , stopped buying stuff from there ages ago including petrol which was usually the cheapest around. I miss their fresh cream cakes though, they were lush  but still all for the greater good and 'ahem' my waistline ! |
