Remember the coupon that I got from Sainsbury's, the one that gave me £18 off a spend of £60 or more, well I only just remembered it in time. I used it the day before it's expiry date, it would have been a shame not too.
What I did actually forget to do was to take a photo of the shopping when it was delivered. I thought that I had, but it seems that the only ones I got were the coffee and rice, I was pleased with the long Best Before dates on everything so I took a photo. Everything else had really good dates too, but seemingly my shopping came from a central hub not the local store so that explains a lot.
Order summary
Trolley total£69.75
Delivery cost£4.50
Coupon savings-£30.50
Total£43.75
That was my total after using my £18 off coupon and my available Nectar points.
I was really happy as my usual large pack of toilet rolls was finally on special offer. I bought myself two packs of 12 double length rolls, but Alan said he needed some, so I gave him one of the packs. Well it seemed a nice thing to do, after all he's always buying me bits and pieces of shopping. 😁
I also treated myself to my favourite pizza, and we shared this for tea the next night.
I also bought:
4 pouches of microwave brown rice
4 pouches of microwaveable vegetable rice
a ready made vegan quiche
a couple of large jars of coffee
some hummus
a very large bag of red lentils
6 small bars of dairy-free white chocolate
two bags of dairy-free grated cheese
and
2 twin packs of tissues
It didn't seem a lot of shopping for the full amount but with the coupon, the Nectar points and my nectar offers it all came down by quite a lot. The delivery guys were lovely too, and came just two minutes after the expected time.
I'll probably order online again ... when I get another coupon. 😄

I keep getting similar coupons so should really sit down and make a list of things that have a long shelf life. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising how quickly you can get to the value of the amount you have to spend to make use of the coupon.
DeleteSounds like you got very good value for your money with that coupon. :)
ReplyDeleteIt worked out really well, I was pleased.
DeleteI shop at sainsbury's and lidl. I have the lidl app and I keep getting free veg and chocolate bars from them. Wonderful 🍫 🍫 🍫 🥕 🥕 🥕
ReplyDeleteI guess we should make a trip to Lidl at some point, it does seem to give good offers.
DeleteThat sounds great value. I like doing the supermarket shop online, helps me to stay on the straight and narrow, I’m always so impulsive when in a physical store 😀

I found it a bit weird doing the shop online, I only usually use the online facility at Sainsbury's to work out my spend for challenges. :-)
DeleteWhen our girls were young we used coupons all the time. Now it's only occasionally. I think apps have replaced actual coupons for the most part.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right, most things are app related these days aren't they. These coupons get spat out by the coupon machine when we shop in store. Usually they are of no interest to me, but this money off one really was.
DeleteGood thing you remembered to use it in time! I used to use coupons but they were often for items or brands I wouldn't buy otherwise, so why bother? A good all-purpose coupon like this one is a much better deal!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to get such an all-reaching one for a change.
DeleteI am glad that you remembered the coupon in time to use it. I now use my phone app at our Co-op for those things I am interested in.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Things are mostly app related now aren't they.
