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.

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.

Much more than just an online version of your local Sainsbury's, the Sainsbury's Online Store is a one-stop shop for just about anything you can think of, including all the latest electrical appliances, and even Sainsbury's insurance and credit cards.
