Sainsbury's deals

If you're a new online Sainsbury's* shopper, you can get £15 off your first £80+ shop when you enter the code SCSEO24OC15 at the checkout.

Your shopping must be delivered before 11.59pm on Thursday 31 October (so ensure you book a slot before this time). Delivery costs from £1 to £7 depending on the slot you choose. See 'More info' below for exclusions.

If you go online to Sainsbury's Tu or visit a larger Sainsbury's store which sells clothing (find your nearest) you can get 'up to 50% off' selected items. There's no code needed, the discount will be clearly marked. Sainsbury's told us there is currently no end date to this sale.

Some brands and included in the sale too, such as French Connection and Simply Be. If you're after an item that you can't find discounted in a brand's own sale, then this could be a good way to get a discount on it.

Delivery's from £3.95 or you can click & collect for free if you're spending £10 or more.

Here are some examples we spotted when we checked on Monday 18 March:

• Kids' two-pack trousers – £7.50 (was £15)
• Men's slim fit trousers – £9 (was £18)
• Women's ribbed sleeve cardigan – £10 (was £20)
• French Connection crepe light V-neck top – £10.50 (was £17.50)

What does ‘up to 50% off' mean?

Min discount we spotted: 30%
Max discount we spotted: 50%
Average discount based on 10 random items: 42%

What is the discount based on: The Advertising Standards Agency has previously stated that at least 10% of items should be available at the 'up to' price.

If you go online to Sainsbury's or visit a store that stocks the Tu clothing range (find your nearest), you can get school uniform items (ages 2-16) from £3. Delivery's £3.95 and click and collect is free on orders over £15. 

What can you get?

• 2x polo shirts - £3-£6
• Skirt - £5-£7
• 2x trousers - £7-£11
• 2x sweatshirts - £7-£11

Prices change depending on size. Some sizes are currently out of stock online, so it's worth looking in store if you can't find the size you want online.

If you're visiting a Sainsbury's Café (find your nearest), you can get a kids' meal for £1 (normally £3.25) when purchasing an adult main meal for £5.20 or more. The offer is valid from 11.30am until café closing time. 

There's no voucher needed, this will be automatically applied to your bill. Both the adult main and kids' meal must be purchased in the same transaction, and café meals can be purchased to eat in or takeaway.

All kids' meals come with a drink and a piece of fruit. Little ones will be able to choose between a hot meal which comes with three sides (dishes include chicken nuggets, sausage and fish fingers) or a children's lunch bag (a choice of sandwich, crisps and a jelly pot). 

See our Restaurant deals and vouchers page for other dining out deals.

If you head into selected Sainsbury's stores (find your nearest), you can pick up a 'Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me’ box of surplus fruit and veg for £2, while stock lasts. The boxes contain fresh fruit and vegetables that would have otherwise gone to waste.

Sainsbury's says the boxes are a permanent feature, though they will be subject to availability. Look out for them in larger stores, rather than Locals (you can't get them online). 

If boxes are available, they'll be in the fresh produce aisle. What you'll actually get is completely random, though Sainsbury's did say typical contents could include: apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, courgettes, oranges, peppers, plums, red cabbage, and swede. 

To give you a rough idea of how much of a saving you could make, we've made some calculations based on the products mentioned above:

• One pack Imperfectly Tasty Gala apples (six in pack) – normally 90p (15p each)
• One pack Fairtrade bananas (five in a pack) – normally 71p (14p each)
• One loose broccoli – normally £1.92
• One loose cauliflower – normally 95p
• One pack courgettes (500g) – normally £1.29
• Loose orange – normally 30p
• Loose red pepper – normally 50p
• One punnet of plums (400g) – normally 95p
• Loose red cabbage – normally 65p
• Loose swede – normally 65p

Based on the price of each individual item in the box, we've calculated that it would cost about £9 to buy it all separately – so we reckon buying a box for £2 is a good deal.

There are always ways to save money at Sainsbury's* so even if there isn't a cracking deal out there that works for you, don't assume you can't cut your costs further.

Ways to save include:

• Supermarket coupons. Make sure you check out our supermarket coupons page to save on your shopping.


• Take the Downshift Challenge. The phrasing and language used hypnotises us into thinking the most costly is best. While the packaging looks more opulent, look beneath it and sometimes you won't be able to tell the difference (often it's even made in the same factory). Take our Downshift Challenge.


• Track if it's really a bargain. Most of us know just because a supermarket lists an item as "on offer", that doesn't mean it's cheap. The trouble has been sorting awesome offers from poor promos. 


• Time trips right to bag huge yellow sticker discounts. If you spot a yellow sticker discount - fantastic. Grab it and use it quickly as it's a saving on perfectly good nosh. See when Sainsbury's normally reduces its produce in our Cheap Supermarket Shopping guide.


• Check out similar retailers, eg, Asda, Tesco and the other major supermarkets. If you're not committed to buying from Sainsbury's, check out our deals from Asda, Aldi, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl and Waitrose, where they may have a better offer.


• Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to find out in which shops hagglers have most success. Supermarkets did feature, so it's worth a go. Find out more in our Haggle on the High Street guide.


• Had a problem with Sainsbury's? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Sainsbury's*.
