Sainsburys are doing a deferred BOGOF on their in-store 800 gram standard loaves.

Buy one for about £1 and get a voucher to get a 2nd loaf free within the next 2 weeks.

(Excludes some stores, all local stores and petrol stations; taste the difference and organic loaves)

Official MoneySavingExpert.com insert:

The offer is nationwide and valid until 9 Feb. Thanks to edda for the great find!

  • I'm guessing there is a voucher in/on the loaf of bread?

    I work at Sainsbury's and the voucher is printed off at the till.

    We have coupon printers, which you probably know as it prints off random vouchers for different people. Like double nectar point on your next shop.
  • There doing the same thing at Tesco with Iceberg lettuces. Will be getting my free one next week :)

    Interesting. Of course, the idea is to get you to go back to that supermarket next time you shop, not a competitor. Can you redeem the voucher instantly (ie produce the second loaf as soon as you get the voucher) and turn this into a BOGOF (freeze second loaf)?

    If it's a BOGOF offer you can take both at the same time without having a voucher issued, the voucher is for people who don't need or won't use the other loaf or item before it best before date.
    Nearly debt free
  • The loaves are also 2 for £1.50. I bought 2 and got 2 vouchers for a free loaf.

    I think the vouchers are great idea.
    We only use bread for toast in the morning, so it saves me having to freeze it!
    There's only 2 of us now so hate it when they say buy 3 for £3!

    Doesn't seem to apply to Haywards Heath branch! My wife came back yesterday(28th) before we'd seen your e-mail and having bought a standard Multiseed loaf wasn't even offered a coupon/voucher!
