It does have an advantage to those who a) are weary of shopping online due to card security (there is a lot of them out there still) b) dont have another shop in their immediate vicinity and Sainsburys is there local supermarket. With me for example this is the case, I'm in a central london location but my local is 2 giant Sainsburys. Tesco, Asda and Morrisons are all in neighbouring places and would mean a cab to carry shopping back as I wouldnt manage it on the bus. If I shopped in Sainsburys I could still get brand prices matched to the likes of Asda but without travelling to their store, it would therefore be an advantage. I give it a miss though and get my shopping delivered online from whoever is cheapest that week, namely Asda lately. But if I couldnt do this, for whatever reason I'd be happy to pick up my shopping at Sainsburys knowing brands in my basket were being matched to whatever stores were offering the same product cheaper (if they were). I wouldn't say it was a scam just offering a choice for shoppers who may not have a choice, and an incentive for the store to have customers who keep on coming back to them.

My grandmother does not drive. She lives 7 min walk from a out of town shopping complex. The only food places there are Sainsburys and Iceland. I shop at both as well and inform her of the offers at both places etc.

Also there are some towns and cities that don't have a Tesco or Asda and therefore the towns' folk are missing out on deals.

I take it you'll also be having a moan about Asda & Tesco's versions. Unless these have changed since I last used them you have to enter details of your receipt on their website and then print off your own voucher.

Compare that to Sainsbury's who print off the voucher for you.

Not only that. Every week when I've shopped in Sainsbury's for at least the last month I've had another coupon for £2 (or 400 points) off a £20 shop. So I'm being given a voucher for 10% off. No extra messing like Asda's guarantee.

The best way to use brand match according to the Sainsbury I used to use a lot - is put the most expensive brand items through the till first as it only applies to the 1st 10 on a spend of £20+. It does not apply to own brand name products only things like Fairy liquid named brands. Once you get your head round that it is easy to gain with this scheme.

I think she is getting confused with the £10 max coupon.

There is nothing about 10 items, its the WHOLE shop.
