Sainsbury's has seen its latest half-year profits rise by one-third, buoyed by an increase in sales.
The supermarket group's pre-tax profit in the six months to 3 October totalled £342m, up 32.6% from £258m a year ago.
Its like-for-like sales excluding fuel, which strips out the impact of new store openings, rose 5.7%.
It said it was a strong performance given the economic climate, but trading conditions could be even tougher in the second half of the financial year.
