Personally I would say one word  about the Sainsburys site and that word is 
beware.

The site appears to work fine but you are tricked, I am sure unintentionally, 
into buying products you  did not intend.
The problem arises when you get a “why not try” suggestion.” What happens then 
is the add button for the product you want disappears and ;is replaced by an 
add button for the why not try products.

This means that in recent weeks I have  unintentionally purchased a garlic 
press device  instead of garlic, cake mix  instead of peaches, Trifle mix 
instead of milk, , a potato ricer tool rather than a bag of potatoes., and 
three bottles of wine rather than three packets of cod. As I am teetotal this 
especially annoying but my wife enjoyed them.

The point is that the web site is only superficially easy. I have tried to ring 
Sainsburys about this issue several weeks ago  but nobody has rung back . 

To get around this problem you have to where ever   , there is a quote why not 
try suggestion follow the link to more information on the product where  there 
will be a button which will genuinely allow you to add the product you want  to 
your basket rather than the suggested addition. This is a  nuisance and every 
time I use Sainsburys I have to check the basket with a fine comb as every time 
there will be an unwanted “why not try” product rather than the product you 
want which I have unintentionally added. . Last week for example I have to 
remove a cooking sauce which had replaced the parsnips I was trying to buy.
 I am not sure what information is being visually displayed.
This is with both Jaws 15 and 16 and NVDA with IE 11 on Windows 7.
