I love Tu clothes but my big Sainsbury’s has no changing rooms – I have a sneaky way to still try before I buy
THERE’S nothing more annoying than picking up something from a supermarket clothing range and finding there’s no changing room.
But one woman has explained the sneaky way she gets around this, and it means she can easily try the items before she buys them.

She wanted to try on the jeans to see what the cut looked likeTikTok/@bexjadefreeman
So she tried them on over her other trousersTikTok/@bexjadefreeman
Before whipping them off to reveal her original outfit beneathTikTok/@bexjadefreeman
Bex took to her TikTok page to share the hack, as she began the video wearing a red jumper, jeans and red Converse.
She then unbuttoned the jeans and started to remove them, revealing a loose-fitting pair of checked trousers underneath.
“When your big Sainsbury’s doesn’t have changing rooms but you want to try before you buy,” she wrote over the top of her video.
And she asked in the caption: “Anyone else do this?”
The comments section was almost immediately filled with other admitting they do the same thing.
“Always wear leggings it’s easier to pull clothes over them,” one person wrote.
To which Bex replied: “Omg good tip!”
“Me in every shop so I don’t have to deal with fitting rooms – especially with a toddler,” another added.
“Always, however I do struggle to keep my balance,” a third laughed.
“I do this anyway in Primark as I can’t be dealing with those tiny rooms,” someone else said.
“OMG I did this today!” another admitted.
“Hahahah, try before you buy,” Bex giggled.
“Ridiculous that they no longer have changing rooms,” someone else raged.
“I have left things that I would previously have tried on and possibly brought.”
“Good for you and leave it there if you don’t want it reach them a lesson!” another said.
“They have got rid of changing rooms because they know we’re all too rubbish to return stuff and they’re making a fortune!”
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a ‘strong growth in clothing’ and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda’s clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury’s clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it’s good quality too – with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
“Exactly I don’t wanna take it home and have to make the trip again if I wanna return!” Bex agreed.
However, those who’ve dealt with supermarket changing rooms explained exactly why they’re closed, more often than not.
“I worked in a Sainsbury’s!” one wrote.
“People changing their underwear/stealing it and leaving their old dirty stuff behind, you name it we have seen it!
“It’s less hassle with them closed.”
“Theft is sky high and people were pooing and peeing in them constantly,” another added.
“We will never open ours!”
While others shared their own suggestions for dealing with the lack of changing rooms.
“I buy them, try them on in the toilet then if I don’t like them return,” one wrote.
“Good idea! Annoying having to wait for the money to go back in though!” Bex said.
“Put the trousers or jeans waistband round your neck it it fits perfectly they will fit you,” another added.
“If it does not join too small, if overlaps too big!”
“I did this!!” Bex replied.
“But I wanted to see how the trouser leg fit cos of the barrel style.”
“I wouldn’t dare in case security came round to me!” someone else admitted.
“Haha, but it’s allowed surely?” Bex mused.
“I was being a rebel anyway!”
