With a history of more than 140 years, and close to 800 stores throughout the UK, Sainsbury's is one of the most recognised high-street names in the UK.

From its very first shop in Drury Lane, London, in 1869, Sainsbury's has come a long way, and now operates close to 800 stores in the United Kingdom, with over 2,000 suppliers, more than 30,000 products, and with a staff of more than 150,000.

Now, with the advent of online shopping, Sainsbury's is making its name in online retail too, and offers a real alternative to other online stores, such as Tesco, which has previously been dominant in this sector for several years.

At the Sainsbury's online store you'll find all manner of electrical products, sporting goods, toys and games and, of course, highly competitive prices. From the incredible Sainsbury's range of groceries and household appliances to widescreen televisions, vacuum cleaners, fridges and freezers, cameras and camcorders … and much more. Below is just a tiny selection of what you'll find at Sainsbury's Online Store:

So, whatever happens to be on your shopping list, Sainsbury's Direct makes a great place to begin your online shopping, and where you're sure to find almost everything you need, and where low prices and quality goods are the order of the day.

There are, of course, numerous supermarkets and online stores where you choose to shop; yet few stores make as much effort as Sainsbury's in trying to provide healthy choices and being as environmentally responsible, and that alone is one good reason to choose Sainsbury's.

In fact, Sainsbury's is one of the most progressive supermarkets when it comes to providing healthy food, and employs more than a hundred product developers and researchers to progressively reduce levels of fat, sugar, salt, saturated fat and additives in Sainsbury's products wherever it is possible, while simultaneously looking to increase nutrients.

However, if you don't live near to a Sainsbury's store, then no problem; at Sainsbury's Online Store you can enjoy the same healthy choices online too, with groceries - and much else - delivered direct to your door.
