    Thanks Blackfoot, I just noticed it today, goodbye Sainsbury.
    No £2 coupon off either.

    No staff discount at Sainsburys on spirits either.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

    also, till spits for £x off £xx spend say exclude spirits and liqueurs (but beer and wine still ok).


    Not seen any other supermarkets having any kind of restrictions ....so far.

    I discovered the 'no coupon on spirits'; rule in a Sainsbury's recently. I walked out, leaving my shopping behind.

    It's bad enough that Sainsbury's is already the most overpriced major supermarket, without it trying to turn into nanny.

    None of the other supermarkets have gone that far, think they are over- interpreting the minimum unit price rule a bit too much.

    .

    Sorry, the people I know who drink spirits vs. beer or wine? The spirit drinkers don't drink as much! Yes you have the "shot" culture but at least be fair and have the issue with the whole lot!

    You must drink an awful lot to let this motivate you to walk out of supermarkets. 15p worth of points on a £15 bottle?
