Remember the Coupon?



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.  😄
