So if the excitement of a third film has got you feeling all summery, you may want to take a trip down to Sainsbury’s to get your wardrobe ready for the trip (virtual or otherwise) to Greece.
With prices starting from £5, there’s something for everyone. And though the full summer range at TU isn’t all blues, whites and floaty shapes, we’ve spotted plenty of pieces that feel like they were grabbed straight from Amanda Seyfried or Meryl Streep’s Mamma Mia! wardrobes. Here, our fashion team has found the Grecian-inspired gems from the new-in section…

The launch of the summer collection comes as news hits about how Sainsbury’s shoppers could be starting to see the end of an era for a classic supermarket symbol. The retailer is experimenting with new electronic labels to make it easier to change the price and allow staff to remotely update prices via computer, eliminating the need to manually replace traditional paper tickets. As such, you might not see the Sainsbury’s logo labels much longer.
“We are trialling electronic shelf-edge labels in a small number of our stores,” a Sainsbury’s spokesperson confirmed to The Grocer. When pressed by the Mirror for more details about the rollout, the chain stated there was “nothing further” to add to what had already been reported.
