General Discussion

Noticed that after sainsbuys threw away a load of food due to power issue they have restocked the ready meals section and removed all nectar card discounts from the ready meals .Well Joe public has to pay for their screw up certainly they are not going to take the hit for that.

Nectar prices are not a permanent reduction and funnily enough, they seem to run from Thursday to Wednesday, so if you went in there this morning, the Nectar price reduction had expired for that particular item(s), so they are not ripping you or anybody off.

@carer

They have been on for weeks if not months for those items so its just a co- incidence they are all withdrawn after the power outage ???

@1263

Have you looked on the website for the prices of the goods that you are referring to?

I bought 4 beers for £7 earlier but was charged full price because I don't have a nectar card.

I never used to need a nectar card before and I wasn't warned when checking out.

I stopped shopping at Tescos 10 years ago because of these underhanded tactics. Won't be shopping at Sainsburys anymore either.

Certain branded bottle of drink, never on promotion suddenly gone from £1.50 to £2 per bottle 33% increase nicely timed before xmas / new year ......welcome to rip off Sainaburys,  suppose someone has to pay for them trying and failing to match Lidls and Morrisons veg offer.
