It's all part of the free VeryMe perk from Vodafone
Vodafone is dishing out the freebie for a limited time, starting today.
It's all within the provider's VeryMe reward programme, which customers can find in the Vodafone app.
The voucher can be exchanged for a pack of ice creams or ice lollies in Sainsbury's.
It's worth up to £2 - so depending on the cost of the treat you fancy this can cover the entire cost or be used to knock some money off.
Only 80,000 codes are available, until midnight on Monday, so you'll have to move fast to claims yours.
The voucher can only be used in store and not for purchases via the Sainsbury's Groceries app, over the phone nor at Sainbury's petrol stations.
Vodafone's latest offer comes less than two weeks after the firm announced a big change affecting millions of customers.
The network's merger with Three has been finalised meaning there will be a boost for everyone over the coming months.
Three and its budget sub-brand SMARTY will receive a 20 per cent average speed uplift on 4G soon.
And within a few months, 27million mobile subscribers across both Vodafone and Three will start to benefit from better signal with shared access across both networks at no extra cost, the new joint VodafoneThree firm claims.
This will eradicate dreaded "not spots" from 16,500 sq/km of the country – the equivalent to 10x the size of London.
Both brands are to remain separate with their own offers and products despite sharing network resources going forward.
How to keep cool in a heatwave
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS...
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.

Lidl's £3.99 middle aisle bargain will save you hundreds on getting the handyman in – & it's less than half price of B&Q
LIDL has the perfect DIY bargain to help you save hundreds on getting handymen in, and it's less than half the price of B&Q's version. With temperatures skyrocketing to 28C today many Brits will be spending time in the garden, basking in the heat. 3 Lidl has the perfect bargain to help you with garden DIY Credit: Getty 3 Lidl's angle measurer is just £3.99 Credit: Lidl 3 The B&Q product is priced at £8.99 Credit: B&Q However, whilst settling down to relax, you may have noticed that your outdoor space is in need of a bit of a TLC. Getting the handyman in to do up your garden can cost a fortune, but thankfully Lidl's Middle Aisle is currently stocked full of bargains to help you do it up yourself. Lidl Multifunctional Angle Gauge In stores now is the Parkside Multifunctional Angle Gauge, which costs just £3.99. It can be used for marking and transferring angles, heights and depths, making it perfect for building outdoor furniture, or sprucing up your fence or decking. The nifty tool helps you to easily record and mark measurements, and has a scale of 0-30cm. The angle range is 0–90° and the angle scale is 0–180°. The bargain tool can be found in the middle aisle of your local Lidl. However, as with all Middle of Lidl bargains, you better be quick, as once they're gone, they're gone. Cheaper than B&Q Lidl's bargain tool is currently on sale for less than half the price of B&Q's Magnusson Stainless steel Angle measurer, which is currently on sale for £8.99. The B&Q tool measures angles between 0°-180° and depth between 0-100mm. I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic' It also features a brass locking nut, nickel-plated and stainless steel washer. More Lidl DIY Bargains Lidl's Parkside 4V Cordless Rotary Tool is another perfect product for doing some garden DIY. The £11.99 gadget can be used for routing, grinding, polishing, cleaning and engraving. It has an adjustable power speed with an LED display and comes with an abundance of accessories, including three polishing wheels, four sanding sleeves and one threaded mandrel. Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock. Plus, it's a whopping £55 cheaper than the Dremel Cordless Lite Rotary tool 3.6V which is currently on sale at B&Q for £67. DIY fans will also be pleased to know that Lidl has launched a £4.99 toolkit that will save you hundreds on buying a new phone. The Parkside Smartphone Repair Set comes with 32 pieces, including screwdrivers and suction cups, to help you take apart your smartphone, and fix it yourself. The kit can be used to fix any smartphone including Apple and Samsung devices, and can also be used to fix laptop and tablet screens as well. Anyone who has been struggling to sleep in the extreme heat will be pleased to know that Livarno Home Double TopCool Duvet has landed in Lidl stores just in time for the heatwave. Designed to keep you cool and comfy, the £10.99 duvet features a micro-fine cover that cleverly regulates moisture and body temperature.
