ALL POSTAGE STAMPS - 5% discount at SAINSBURY'S until 1st Dec

5% off ALL stamps at Sainsbury's for the NEXT WEEK ! (or so ?)

I bought some yesterday (Sunday 23rd), although the discount didn't come off automatically.

I was going through the checkout when I saw the offer advertised on the "dividers" that you put on the conveyor belt between your shopping and other people's goodies.

Seeing as it said ALL stamps I immediately decided this was an opportunity to get some discounted 2nd class stamps (that aren't on offer at Superdrug) and some 1st class ones (saving a planned trip for some from Superdrug)

SA advised me to get them at the kiosk, which I did.
Noticed the prices on the till display as they were being scanned and thought "I wonder when the discount comes off".
Queried it and customer services got involved, and questions were asked (like was it just the decorative "Christmas specials" and not the normal Gold 1sts & Blue 2nds), and after a lot of coming and going, decided that the offer didn't actually start until today. (Monday 24th)

So with that someone was despatched to remove all the advertising for the offer from all the "dividers" and any posters around the store.

A supervisor re-scanned the stamps I wanted and applied a manual discount.

HOWEVER, she said "I'm sure this was supposed to start LAST WEEK" and looking at one of the dividers said "Yes, the offer start date code in the corner is last week"

I looked and she pointed out the "code" which included "1011" (10th Nov) and I said "That's not last week that the week before"

So I don't know what's going on - whether it 's supposed to be just this week or should have already been running for 2 weeks at this point, whatever, IF you do go to get some from Sainsbury's just check you get the discount.

AND YES it does include ALL stamps; 1st, 2nd, LARGE, decorative/festive or ordinary normal Gold/Blue ones, that they sell !

I bought some 2nd class stamps from Sainsburys on Saturday after seeing the promotion for 5% off. Happy to report that the discount was applied automatically. However, I bought 2 identical books of stamps, and the discount applied was different for each book! I had to go to Customer Services to get the difference back.

Please sort your tills out Sainsburys.

I'm intrigued as to the how.
Same till, same barcode, same price ?
