Holy moly didn’t know this existed!

right… I love the custard donuts and the lemon hot cross buns and that they stock discos salt and vinegar!

Reminder that in April you get 20% bonus converting Nectar points > Avios, and vice versa.

I got Sainsburys extra special Christmas pudding and it was delicious.

I think the good offers on the Sainsbury's nectar app have ended. They've been getting less generous and less of them.

Now the only offer I have is to save 15p on some potatos, which are still cheaper at Lidl/aldi anyway for the same variety.

It's useless that bit about extra nectar points where you have to go and save them each week for them to work. I don't care about 10 extra nectar points for buying a bag of kettle chios

I've noticed they're giving away a lot of free stuff at the checkouts .I've had a few free coupons for my most bought items these past few weeks I usually collect and save the Necter points you can spend them in argos /eBay etc .I collect loads from eBay purchases that I never really think about.

I haven't been to my local one in a few days.

It is annoying they don't have the scanners in some shops and that even places where you'd think there would be data there isn't. They should have rolled them out at all the large stores by now

This is quite a good discount, its usually £4.50 but on offer for £3.50 and my nectar price reduces it further

Sainsburys is the only supermarket where I've seen the new Hazelnut Wispa Gold on sale ...

Bringing Sainsbo's chat over from the M&S threads but amazed to see no posts here for 4 years! @Carefree and @Furrytriangle

TBF I can't imagine I would've had much to say about Sainsbury's in that time

Their sourdough pizza bases are the bomb lol

I think the nectar prices thing is the only positive thing I can remember them doing in the last decade. I've noticed the nectar discounts sometimes don't work then a few hours later they issue a voucher for the amount they should have been. Bit annoying.

I wonder if they actually made money with buying Argos and habitat? It seems a bit outdated now with online.

I'm currently using up vouchers from Tesco before going back to Sainsbury's for a bit. All my shopping is online for various reasons, particularly because I have no self restraint if I go into a physical store

I checked my Nectar points account and apparently I have about £63 in vouchers So wise ones, is it worth saving these up or using them against my weekly shop?

A nectar carder here, hate loyalty cards/apps but i like "free" spending money/points - £200 to spend hurray!
Didn't know about the new discount on products, about time they caught up with Tesco members (yes I seethe on the rare occasions I shop at Tesco's and see what I pay and the difference of what clubcarders pay).

Love Sainsbury’s own vegan bacon. Yummy.

Worth starting a thread even if it won't ever rival m&s or the Aldi / Lidl ones.

Recently downloaded the nectar app as I've noticed they are giving discounts on 8 products I regularly buy when you use the scan as you shop. This is the kind of shit that will get me going back even if it at best brings it inline with the budget shops

Also found out I have about a fiver in nectar refund vouchers whatever they are? Only bother to use my nectar card as it's needed for the scan as you shop. Worth checking if it's a few quid though.

Didn’t know about this app. Downloading now. Thank you

Ooooh I do like Sainsburys. I manage to get reduced chicken almost every time I go. Also the nectar rewards is quite good as in it remembers what you buy so then gives you a chance to get extra points next time you buy them.

 

[VeeJayBee]

I like their frozen fruit and Taste the Difference haddock fish fingers. I also find their steaks excellent, better than M&S or Waitrose.

I'm only ever getting save X on your first online order offers spat out at me

I think the nectar app was having issues, I've got 8 offers today but the discounts are 1/3rd less than they used to be.

Isn't this just the normal price as Tesco's own brand that probably is made by the same people as it's packaged exactly the same? At least give me an offer off the jalapeno version!

I’ve just seen the SmartShop offers on my Nectar app. The savings are actually quite substantial. I find the app doesn’t usually work for me in store because there’s no WiFi.

Maybe we're just getting lucky over here with the freebies
Tesco on the otherhand was my go to shop (not sure if it's the same in England ) but they've run ours right into the ground .It looks grimy with most of the shelves empty .I'm sure they're running them down for a reason ,maybe looking to get rid of them . I found Sanisburys have kept their high standard throughout the pandemic clean and really well stocked ,even loads reduced in the fruit and veg isles on a daily basis ,their prices have remained pretty stable too .

 

[monga]

Wonder how this will go down with the big supermarkets I’ve noticed a lot more seem to be food shopping in the cheapie stores

 

[Rxt156]

I’ve just swapped to sainsburys delivery as the pass is cheaper than Tesco
