Sainsbury's Energy Saving Lightbulbs 5 for 50p

Hi just been to my local Sainsbury's Nuneaton store this morning and they had Phillips brand Energy Bulbs priced at 99p each or 5 for 50p they had loads in a big box down by the cereals - not sure if just ours or it may be national.

    Sounds great but that offer makes no sense at all. 1 for 99p or 5 for 50p :confused: sounds too good to be true.

    checked my receipt from this morning and it said saving £4.45 so it went through at checkout fine.

  • Beats the Argos 5 for £1 atm.

    The Argos ones are 14W(75W equivalent); what are these ones available from Sainsburys?

    Sainsburys still works out cheaper. Due to the way the tills work out the VAT reduction as if it was charged at full price it works out at 39p for 5.

    They are 11W which is 60W equivalent.

    Why do they run these deals all the time on the lower wattage bulbs only?
  • They are 11W which is 60W equivalent.

    Ah ok, don't feel so bad now - having just bought 25 from Argos (My sisters uni house needs kitting out with bulbs)
