Do you know if Sainsburys will give me the difference as I just missed their 25% off? i have kept my receipt which has the original price for the item. Obviously would like to benefit on 25% off if i can.

You can ask. Depending on the refund policy you could return and rebuy. You don't know until you ask

I only evey buy clothes from Sainburys when they have 25% off. Happens around every six weeks.

Would you pay them 25% more for your last groceries, if they had put the price up on them all ?

you are right and on monday when the 25% hadn't started i thought that they're not doing it this time round so i ended up buying the item, only to read today that they have 25% off. Gutted!

As usual, completely irrelevant

Why would Sainsbury's give you the difference?

Regardless of whether you missed the '25% off' sale by 2 days or 2 years the point is that you missed it.

If it's as regular as every 6 weeks (and they didn't start it when you expected them to) it'd be an idea to ask in store when the next sale is starting before purchasing next time.

Sounds like a case of bad timing! Similar to when I bought half a dozen BluRay films last November at what I thought were good prices, only to see most of them discounted further after Xmas. Nevermind!

As far as I'm concerned if you paid the ticket price you shouldn't be entitled to getting refunded the difference if the items are reduced at a later date, otherwise we'd all be constantly returning to stores asking for money back.

Why is it irrelevant?


OP bought the clothes when she wanted too. She was unaware that a sale was going to start, the shop doesn't need to tell anyone to hold back on buying as we are going to start a sale.


They are in business to make money, not give it away.


Would they have the same rights as her, to go back to every customer who bought , say a certain bottle of wine for , say £5, which has gone up to £7, to get the extra off them.


The contract was complete at time of sale, OP bought at a price she was happy paying at that time. It will only be down to the goodwill of the retailer, if they give the difference back.


There is no Legal obligation.

There is an obligation if they have a returns policy, as that would form part of the contract.

I am quite sure that the OP didn't enter into a contract to pay more at a later date.
