  • I pass a sainsb**ys on my school run so planned things i will need , printed a comparison shopping list and i got £6,78 on a £21 shop.

    its not brilliant but i didnt make a special journey.
    im saving what nectar points i get for vouchers for christmas presents.

    Sounds quite good, not so good if your just popping in for a few things though like we often do!

    Also, could anyone explain for me what the *'s are for in shop names, tesco store locations etc? Ive noticed this quite often on here now :)

    People blank out the town name & store name so that google spider doesn't add "Tesco Dunstable" to google search. So the management can't google storename and correct pricing errors.

    Price Match didn't work for me this morning. :mad: Bought 9 x 2 finger kit kats in $ain%bu%$ys @ £1.89.

    Then walked past the Mr T Express this morning and big display of kit kats at £1 each (90 odd pence off). so I'm guessing that either because the original price in Mr T was more expensive or because the packaging was different (same item, same number of bars, just different packagaing) that it means it doesn't qualify.... or because it was a Mr T Express store and in the normal store... its full price (more expensive) TOO confusing and rather annoying

    If this was the only thing you bought then you didnt reach the £20 minimum spend. If you bought other stuff you need to take account that they may have been cheaper in Sainsburys , thus negating the 89p kitkat

    9 x £1.89 = £17.01

    You need to spend min of £20 to qualify for a voucher.

    It's a complete waste of time.

    I spent £65 at Sainsburys the other day and got a voucher telling me that my shopping was £12.76 cheaper than Tesco/Asda etc..

    Well considering that buying is influenced by deals etc.. then it's no surprise really as not all retailers have the same deals at the same time.

    I also experienced the worst ever customer service. It's lucky I never got a voucher as I won't be back.
  • Make sure you separate your shopping into batches!!!!
    What happens if you take something back? they can hardly take part of your voucher back.
    Going out to rebuy my items to get max voucher.
    Phoned customer services to say that I would still have been able to buy those items cheaper elsewhere - 'that is your choice' she said.

    should have read the t&c's as the minimum spend is £20
