konradpuss: Agreed , people are already taking their money out of their NS&I accounts and I suspect putting the money into a cross section of FTSE100 companies.
I suspect Sainsburys will be one of those companies, along BT and with the banks.

Net, I think inflation might solve the National Debt issue.

I think inflation might well be lurking and ready to pounce. As we know, once out the bag it is difficult to restrain.

Who are the losers? The old folk with cash in the bank and no debt.

Just a reminder that anyone interested in attending our webinar with Sainsburys on Tuesday can do so here:

James Collins, Head of Investor Relations at Sainsbury’s plc will present a full overview on the company, its strategy and the outlook for the coming year.

Also the substitution rate is incredibly high something like 40% from memory.

Quite frankly if you shop online for food,can you really rely on others to exercise the same scrutiny as you would yourself.
Will you get the latest sell by date.I lift the crates to ensure this is the case.I check that cauliflower or brocolli is not showing any mould for example.I make sure that eggs in the packaging are not cracked.What about soft fruits such as strawberries and raspberries showing signs of discolouration.I could go on and on.There is nothing like picking your own food yourself ensuring the highest quality food standards.

For me online food shopping is not an option.I am not prepared to settle for second best.

I know a few who have switched to Sainsburys during the pandemic due to social distancing being all but non existent in the discounters.

[chiefbrody] 21/11/2020 12:21

Well we're one of the fattest and unhealthiest nations so it all makes sense i guess.

[tim 3] 21/11/2020 12:11

Same here never done online supermarket shopping people are defiantly getting more lazy.

[chiefbrody] 21/11/2020 12:08

Aye just dint get the love for online food (or clothes) shopping.Having said that, if councils were not so loathing towards peeps with cars, you'd have more peeps out shopping.

[netcurtains] 21/11/2020 11:50

I cant see why anyone would shop online unless frail in some way.
If people are so effete they cant even pick their own food
I think the next stage is extinction.
Ideally have your own allotment failing that at least go to a store
and select your own food. What on earth is the world coming to...

[chiefbrody] 21/11/2020 11:41

I don't really buy that. Maybe for some of the oldies or fatties.Still, as a holder of Sains, ain't gonna complain.Online shirley a much bigger reason.

Aldi losing ground doesn't explain why Lidl have managed to hold theirs.


Sainbury's on-line shopping has more then doubled over these 9 months. Sainsbury's maybe gaining market share, however how profitable is this extra market share?

[netcurtains] 21/11/2020 11:32

Imperial3: Its pretty obvious - Aldi have tiny isle widths and tiny car parks - they feel like covid infection places more than stores.
The old supermarkets tend to have huge stores so one tends to feel safer. Sainsburys probably make you feel the safest - big stores.... So Sainsbury doing best.

[imperial3] 21/11/2020 11:30

Surprising. I wonder why?

[loganair] 21/11/2020 11:14

In Kantar's latest figures the biggest winner by far is Sainsbury's followed by Tesco, Morrison & Waitrose.

The biggest losers by far were Aldi & the Co-op followed by Ocado.


It seems to me that Aldi is struggling most when it comes to Covid shopping, losing 0.5% market share over the past 9 months while Lidl is managing to hold its ground maintaining its market share at 6.1%, the same as it was 9 months ago.
