Is that Emma Kennedy with John Cleese?

The ad that killed Sainsburys. Cheap, patronising and plain rubbish

First time i've seen this Advert (that i can remember), i see why it's generally regarded as "odd"

(Laugh ; )

Still, good Store (by in large), had 2 (now 1) J Sainsbury in my town & they were/are much better overall than the competition (Tesco & Aldi).

@johnedsel Hmm, "Lidl", that German Discount Dump in my Town that's full of nothing but 3rd World Produced Rubbish, 99% of which in any Language as long as it isn't English, not to mention that store smells like it has a burst sewer (no joke).

Great Alternative (not), you Half-witted Skargilistic Chavish Cheapskate.

This hairy arsed piece of you know what is from 1999? It looks so dated, and the stores were so old-fashioned, now Sainsbury's is number 3 in the UK Supermarket charts...That is what complacency causes towards your customers, and it was in 1995 that Sainsbury's was knocked from the top spot...Irony is in that time they have become more mainstream and the quality of their food is nowhere near as good now, people can hardly boast that they shop there now because all kinds go in there.

"Insane´sbury". :-D

you notice how sainburies make their profit on rediculously over pricing there meat and fish and dairy products and keeping the portions very small. its a pity really if they were to elimiate all the junk the sell then they coudl then sell good quality stuff at lower prices and smaller quantities. whats the point in buying food in rediculously small quantities. have you ever noticed how supermarkets sell everything in small packages and never sell in larger packs.

Ah Helen, or good ole Emma Kennedy as we know her :)

@thespermdonor  yes it is

[MultiWarfighter]

TESCO'S FTW !!!!

[johnedsel]

The real reason this Sainsbury's ad campaign backfired was that their regular customers didn't really give a shit about saving pennies. To this day, snobby twits who shop there hate people to think they are cheapskates, thus when they clocked this ad, they just toddled off to Marks n Sparks or Waitrose, so they could walk back to their Landrovers with pride, clutching their overpriced groceries in a posh carrier bag. Ah, how things never change. Viva La Lidl!!!
