Sainsbury's coupon

Options
I don't shop at Sainsbury's that often but when I went there last week I was given a coupon worth £4.50 off my next shop of £30 to be used by 19th November.

Does anyone know if this was given to me due to the amount I spent? Do I get another one if I spend £30 or would I need to spend more? It is one to be used with my nectar card.

I am trying to be moneysaving and not buy too much but it's not a bad discount

    They are given out randomly based on your nectar card info. Sometimes people get 3 vouchers, sometimes just the one. If you spend £30, you might not get another voucher or you might get like £3 off £20 or £4 off £40, 60p off when you buy xxx product.

    It's all up to the computer on what you get.
  • For quite a few weeks I used to go into Sainsbury's for a pack of Tea Bags, and would get £2 off £20 spend! Have not tried it for a few weeks as have been away, but will be back in there next week to see if I can get another voucher to save on my Tesco shop! Absolute bargain, spend 38p and get a voucher worth £2.

  • I haven't had actual money-off till vouchers in ages. All I get now are ones offering extra points on stupid things I would never actually buy. I wonder if I am spending too much there and if I spend less then I may get the money-off ones to tempt me back.

    I only shop at sainsbugs when they send me coupons - I have just received 4 x £4.50 off a £30 spend which are useful in the run up to Xmas.

    If anyone has a phone (iphone or similar) that you can get the nectar app on then the usually have triple nectar points deals - you just activate your offer and it gives you extra points to your card when you shop. As I don't use them very often I don't build up too many points but I have a few extra from this.

    I work for Sainsburys and I think its based on average transactions at Sainsburys using your Nectar card. My vouchers are the triple points if I spend £40. I don't spend that amount per week. But then again, I have purchased PS3, saucepans, wine (at least £80 a time), computer games, clothes, toaster and kettle at Sainsburys. Plus when I lived with my parents, I did the food shopping for them.

    There are two sisters that shop together and go through my till and their vouchers alternate between £5 off £50 and £6 off £60. Its always the way they only spent £52 when they have a £6 off £60 voucher.

    There was a customer who refused a £3 off £10 TU clothing voucher when she was mentioning she was getting a top once she got paid next week! I would like to tap into some customers' minds!
  • I don't shop at sainsburys very often but for the past two months I have been sent tokens for each week for £12 off a £70 shop

    We NEVER get money off vouchers in Sainsbury's, only the crappy 'triple points if you spend £350 on your next shop' etc.......Not a satisfied Sainsbury's customer......

    Same here, never get money off only the triple points ones for spending a ridiculous amount of money.

    Could be. I don't shop there all the time because our two nearest Sainsburys are both pains to get to, but l recently had 6 vouchers £8 off a £40 shop sent to me, one per week for the next few weeks. Needless to say l'm using them :D

    Also, they don't seem to have restrictions we had the Ltr bottle of Baileys and some other drink yet it came straight off without deducting the alcohol and presents cost. :beer:

    I love Sainsburys and would shop there every week if our two nearest shops weren't in the middle of busy towns and one way systems to cope with :mad:


    Happy moneysaving all.

    I think it is dependant on what you spend.

    I shop quite frequently and spend around £10 each time. I get the "spend £30 and get triple points" coupons. My mum however does a weekly shop and spends around £60 plus yet gets "spend £80 and get triple points". Never going to spend £30 in one go! For a start I'd never be able to carry it all! But I just don't have that kind of money. Still, I can give my coupons to my mum as they can be used by her.
