Good morning
Do you have to use special bags with the vacuum sealer, please ?

I have heard that people use ordinary ones, but I would not use the really thin ones with it.

Just seen these on my nectar account offers.

100 bonus points on each of your next 10 shops and save up your points with Sainsbury's this Christmas.

250 bonus points on your next visit to a Sainsbury's Petrol Site.

May be worth checking your offers.

Have been again earlier and got another £200 of vouchers from the same store with the same card .

Just to note, that although you can get £200 of goods overall from one category, you can apparently only use one voucher per transaction (so £50 max), not all four £50 vouchers against one item (£200). I don't know if this is the interpretation of the member of staff I spoke to yesterday or whether it is true and will be enforced by the till?


Edit - I see others have been given this message too.

I phoned Nectar again this morning to clarify if 4x £50 vouchers could be used in one transaction. Yes was the reply...... I asked them to double check, which they did with others & same answer.
I then went to a Sainsbury’s store & asked the question.... no I was told.... only one voucher per transaction. I explained I wanted to buy something expensive so they agreed to phone Nectar themselves. The answer was of course.... yes. They’re now going to update all staff so they know.
I then went to my normal store & asked..... answer was yes.....no hesitation.
So if anyone wants to pay with more than one voucher I’d suggest asking first to make sure the sa is aware you can.

If you have an appropriate photo then you can put 6 passport photos on to a 6"x4" print using online websites:

or

Save the image. Then in true MSE style go to Boots/Tesco etc. and print off a standard 6x4 print for a few pence.

Or go further and get 10 prints delivered for free:

Thank you both. Will pass this to my DD to do

So, got DD2 to put multiple images onto a single picture. Took it to Boots and printed out for 42p, and paid in points

Great solution, thank you very much :beer:

A sensible answer from Nectar. I could not understand how Sainsbury staff could impose a limit given that there was nothing at all listed in the T&Cs. Thank you for chasing it up.

I’ve also done this today after reading this on the Nectar.com website
“
Vouchers are no longer required to be category specific and can be used across any of the 11 categories e.g if you have a £20 and £10 voucher and wish to redeem £15 in toys and £15 in beauty then the two vouchers can be used in one transaction to take off the cost of both goods“

That is definitely two vouchers in one transaction so I rang Nectar who confirmed that I could used as multiple vouchers in a transaction up to the maximum £200.

I then rang Sainsbury’s who spoke to the manager of my store whilst I was on the phone and confirmed that staff would be told accordingly.

Just have to wait and see what actually happens when instore next week. Don’t hold your breath.
