The price list is divided into two parts: Provisions Department (comprising bacon and hams, butter, cheese, eggs, charcuterie, poultry and game , pork and New Zealand lamb) and Grocery Department.
There is a paragraph of information about the company on the first inside page, and the entry for each type of product in the Provisions Department is prefaced with a sentence commenting on the proudct, its production and storage. Similarly the Grocery Department entry begins with an advertisement for the storage and serving methods used by Sainsbury's.
The footer of each page has a promotional slogan, for example " J. Sainsbury for Cleanliness". The front cover is beige and has a black and white image of shoppers in the interior of a Sainsbury store, the back cover (featuring aviator Amy Johnson) has a colour advertisement for Blue Kaddy tea.

The woman featured on the advertisement is Amy Johnson. She was a pioneer female aviator - the first woman to receive the Air Ministry's ground engineers licence and full navigation certificate, and who became famous after her attempt in 1930 to break the light aeroplane record in flying to Australia solo. Appears to be a copy of the back page of SA/MARK/ADV/3/3/1/11.
