Sainsbury's basics products

Often when we see a low price, we assume low quality, but this isn't the case with our basics range.  We keep the price low in many different ways.  

With over 600 products, you'll find all you need.  There's everything from cashews and olives to mozzarella pearls and aubergines.  There's even household essentials, like toasters and washing-up gloves.  Plus, all foods are free from hydrogenated fats and artificial flavour enhancers. And let's face it, who wants to pay more than they have to?  So switch to basics and save!  Now that's what we call a very smart move!
