Sainsbury’s shoppers go wild about ‘best ever bargain’ as £25 dinner essential scans for just 50p at tills
SHOPPERS are going wild over a £25 dinner essential scanning for just 50p at a major supermarket.
Sainsbury’s has slashed the cost of 6kg British turkeys which would usually be sold for an eye-watering £25.
The supermarket has reduced its fresh whole British turkey to 50p.
It’s important to note that customers need to be signed up for the supermarket’s loyalty schemes to get the deals.
But the good news is you can sign up for the scheme for free via the Sainsbury’s website.
How does Sainsbury’s Nectar Card work?
Sainsbury’s has been part of the Nectar scheme since 2002, buying it out in 2018.
Customers collect points when buying certain products or goods, in-store and online.
You receive one loyalty point for every £1 spent.
You also get one point for every £1 spent on fuel bought at Sainsbury’s petrol stations and can pick up points at hundreds of partners as well, including Esso and eBay.
You can register and download an e-Nectar Card by downloading the app on your smartphone.
You then have to swipe it every time you shop and the points are added to your account, which can be used to get money off future purchases.
Each point is effectively worth 0.5p, meaning you need 500 points to get £2.50 off.
You can also sign up to the scheme on Sainsbury’s website.
In April, Sainsbury’s launched Nectar Prices, offering customers exclusive discounts in a bid to rival Tesco’s Clubcard.
You can sign up for the Nectar scheme for free on the chain’s website.
Meanwhile, we reveal the best supermarket loyalty schemes that’ll save you the most money.
Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one?
MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop.
Here we round up what saving programmes you’ll find at the big brands.
- Iceland: Unlike other stores, you don’t collect points with the Iceland Bonus Card. Instead, you load it up with money and Iceland will give you £1 for every £20 you save.
- Lidl Plus: Lidl customers don’t collect points when they shop, and are instead rewarded with personalised vouchers that gives them money off at the till.
- Morrisons: The My Morrisons: Make Good Things Happen replaces the More Card and rewards customers with personalised money off vouchers via the app.
- Sainsbury’s: While Sainsbury’s doesn’t have a personal scheme, it does own the Nectar card which can also be used in Argos, eBay and other shops. You need 200 Nectar points to save up £1 to spend on your card. You need to spend at least £1 to get one Nectar point.
- Tesco: Tesco Clubcard has over 17million members in the UK alone. You use it each time you shop and build up points that can be turned into vouchers – 150 points gets you a £1.50 voucher. Here you need to spend £1 in Tesco to get one point.
- Waitrose: myWaitrose also doesn’t allow you to collect points but instead you’ll get access to free hot drinks, and discounts off certain brands in store.
