Favorable prices for diesel, Super E10 (Unleaded / 95 octane) and Super Plus (Unleaded Super / E5 97 octane).Lots of gas pumps and a wide selection of snacks in front of the checkout

The air machine is a waste of time. Unless you have a vice-like grip like me, you'll end up deflating your tyres as the seal to tyre valve is knackered. Plus it only gives time to do 1 tyre per 30p credit. Bit pricier than then other stores on petrol too

Never give foam in the jet wash machine, tesco in Colinton is much better

Good place to nip in to top up petrol pity they didn't stockmore basics means double trip to score across the road

Sells petrol (and diesel).
Keep it simple.

Would be better if Sainsbury's greedy executives shared a bit more of their vast wealth with the shop floor staff that do the actual work.

Nice staff served quickly no hanging around

Competitive prices
No charge for pumping up tyres
Would be nice if there was a pay-at-pump option
Annoying that there is currently no option for contactless payment

I visit this Sainsbury's for my weekly shop. While I do try and buy meat and veg at independent places, it's just not feasible to bankrupt myself buying 100% independent brand everything else. So I goto Sainsbury's - my favourite and least seemingly anti-british producer, supermarket. The staff are helpful, the aisles are full, and the bakery , butcher and fish monger are there if you want that sort of thing or have forgotten sausages or something (or if you want to pick up reduced to clear meat - a bit of a thing I like to do) It's a decent shop. One complaint. Every week we go in and split our weekly shop between two cards. Every week the till person has to call over a senior till supervisor (Till Queen/King) to explain the process. (Ok most weeks if not every week) Other than that it's pretty decent. Apart from the odd gangs of kids you get in there. They're horrible. So supermarket good. Children from Gorgi, bad.

As a local super market, it does the job. I like the clothes section, they actually have some decent things and in bigger sizes too. The shop itself is clean and well laid out. I don't find they have the best selection of vegetarian food that the bigger Sainsburys have. It can be hit and miss with the length of sell by dates depending on what day you go in. On the whole, it is nice and you can get most things you need. They have a big car park and plenty of shopping trollies that don't need a £1 coin to operate.

I was visiting my son in Edinburgh this year and last year. He lives near Sainsburys. I loved the store and loved the people working there too. The restuarent was soo good an loved the workers there too. Sainsbury has good food selections and great prices. I like that its a super store. Its like our Walmarts here in the USA. We brought food and I brought a beautiful dress there. Thank you Sainsbury for all the great buys... and the wonderful people too

As far as supermarkets and choice Sainsburys is fine. It offers a wide selection of food and some of it is pretty good. Their butcher isn't the greatest and its pretty annoying that some sainsburys carry different items than other ones. With that said, the fruit and vegetables are consistently good and of high quality. Some of the meat is pretty good too. The prices can vary but if you buy just what you need it can be pretty cheap compared to other stores offering similiar stuff.

Well now, what can you say about a great big shop that has shelves in neat rows and a seemingly endless supply of both food and drink in a bewildering array of styles and flavours? It's a shop, a really big one - within a ten minute walk of five more such places, all with different branding over the door. The west of Edinburgh is well served by this kind of outlet, but then why wouldn't the multinationals work hard to attract the discerning customers or Gorgie? But there's the problem... when the Sainsbury's PA kicks in they describe themselves as 'Sainsbury's Murrayfield', as though that's going to sound better? Or more recognisable? Well, don't think I'm going to give them four stars if they don't care to acknowledge their EH11 roots. Oh, and there's dry cleaning concession in their too which has done a great job on my suits in the past. The customer toilets are well maintained too. It's a good shop, well run and friendly. Such a shame about the identity crisis.
