Sainsbury's making major change to Nectar loyalty scheme from today
Your Nectar Prices is now available at checkouts nationwide - so this means it will be easier for supermarket shoppers to save money in store Sainsbury's is making a major change to its Nectar loyalty scheme from today. Your Nectar Prices is now available at checkouts nationwide - so this means it will be easier for supermarket shoppers to save money in store. Your Nectar Prices are personalised discounts based on your shopping habits. You get up to ten discounts every week. Previously, shoppers could only access Your Nectar Prices through SmartShop, the Sainsbury's grocery app, or online. Sainsbury's claims these offers could save the average shopper £150. Mark Given, chief marketing, data and sustainability officer at Sainsbury's, said: "We're leading the way by making loyalty personal. Shoppers want to feel recognised and rewarded and while Nectar Prices are for everyone, we know our customers love an offer that is made just for them. "That's exactly what Your Nectar Prices delivers – it's about giving customers those extra savings on the products they love and buy most." You get one Nectar point for every £1 you spend in stores, with one Nectar point worth 0.5p in return. This means if you earn one point from a purchase it's the equivalent of 0.5% cashback. You also get Nectar points when you fill up in a Sainsbury's fuel station, or at other brands like eBay, Expedia and Just Eat. It comes after Sainsbury's confirmed it has closed all its in-store changing rooms - meaning shoppers need to try on items from its TU clothing range at home. One shopper said: 'Please put back changing rooms! At least one! I went into a Sainsbury's the other day & me & another lady were doin [sic] our best in front of a mirror on the shop floor. Couldn't try trousers on so didn't bother buying them.' Another said: 'Why on earth do you have a clothing department but no changing rooms? A staff member has just told me they have been removed from all stores?' A third person added: 'What is the point selling clothes if you shut the changing rooms. First Kingsgate and now Hamilton. What a waste of my time.' Another posted: 'Why have you got rid of changing rooms? I don't want to have to buy 6 pairs of jeans to have to return 5.' Sainsbury's closed its remaining 61 in-store cafes in April. The supermarket had previously warned that tax increases from the October Budget would hit it with an extra £140million in costs and lead to higher prices for customers.

Huge change to Sainsbury's Nectar loyalty scheme hitting stores across the country from TODAY
SAINSBURY'S is rolling out a huge change to its Nectar loyalty schemes at stores nationwide from today. From Friday, July 25, shoppers will be able to access personalised "Your Nectar Prices" at the tills. 1 These give Nectar loyalty members special discounts on items they often buy, and they were previously only available for online orders to through the Smart Shop app or handset in stores. Starting today, however, shoppers will be able to simply scan their Nectar card at the tills to get these discounts. Customers will receive up to 10 personalised offers based on their buying habits. The discounts refresh every Friday, giving shoppers regular opportunities to save on essentials and discover new favourites. However, shoppers recently slammed the change saying it "makes it harder to use discounts", as they'll need to unlock the offers by selecting them on the Nectar app or website before they go to the supermarket. One wrote on X: "I… feel shopping is already a chore without having to log into another app to manually 'unlock' Nectar savings as well!? "No explanation. Feeling devalued as a long term customer." To access the savings, customers will need to register with Nectar via the app or website. Once registered, they'll need to click 'tap to unlock' Your Nectar Prices in the Nectar app or website to be able to use the savings. Sainsbury's said the change would allow over 8.5million more customers to enjoy offers on items they already purchase. Shoppers can save up to £150 a year on their grocery bills thanks to the rollout, it added. Customers will still be able to get Nectar Prices, which offer discounts on thousands of selected products for all Nectar cardholders when they shop. Sainsbury's chief marketing officer Mark Given said: 'We're leading the way by making loyalty personal. "Shoppers want to feel recognised and rewarded and while Nectar Prices are for everyone, we know our customers love an offer that is made just for them. "That's exactly what Your Nectar Prices delivers – it's about giving customers those extra savings on the products they love and buy most. "Every week over a million customers are making the most of their personalised discounts and, by rolling this out to our checkouts, we're opening the door for millions more to grab fantastic offers on the items they already purchase and maybe even discover some new favourites." Over one million customers are already using Your Nectar Prices each week, with over £60million customer savings in the last year alone, the supermarket said. How to boost your nectar points The Nectar loyalty scheme is an easy way to get extra money off your shop and boost your points. There are several different ways you can boost your points. Sainsbury's offers You can add special Sainsbury's offers to your account with the Nectar app. These offers typically give extra bonus points for buying particular items. Or you can multiply points if you spend, for example, £60 online. The offers refresh each week usually on a Friday and you need to manually add or you will lose out. Nectar challenges Sainsbury's offers various challenges through Nectar over the year. For example, the fruit and veg challenge gives shoppers the chance to earn extra points when they buy qualifying items. You could expect to earn an extra 1,000 bonus points through the challenges. However, make sure you're only buying items that you were intending to purchase or plan to use, otherwise you'll be wasting cash. Games When logging on to the app, users are occasionally offered the chance to rub the screen to reveal extra points that are added to their account. This can be as little as five points - but every extra point counts. You'll need to opt in each time to win so keep your eyes peeled when logging on to the app. Partner offers You can also get special offers to collect bonus points at Nectar partners through the app. For example, you may be offered an extra 200 points for filling your car at Esso. You will usually need to 'load' these offers to your account or you won't collect the bonus points. You can find out more on how to save in our ultimate Nectar guide. How does the Nectar scheme work? UNDER the Nectar card scheme, customers collect points when buying certain products or goods, in-store and online. You earn 1 Nectar point for every £1 you spend at Sainsbury's and 1 point for every litre of fuel bought at Sainsbury's petrol stations. You can also collect points with other partners like Esso and eBay. To start, download the Nectar app to register and get an e-Nectar Card. Simply swipe your card whenever you shop to collect points, which can be used to save money on future purchases. Each point is worth 0.5p, so 500 points will give you £2.50 off. As a Nectar member, you also get access to Nectar Prices, offering discounts on selected products when you scan your card at checkout or add it to your online shop. Plus, with Your Nectar Prices, you'll receive personalised discounts on items you regularly buy.

The seven easy checks to make to save you £100s on your food shop including loyalty prices secret code
One of the tips involves heading to a particular aisle in your local supermarket SHOP TO IT The seven easy checks to make to save you £100s on your food shop including loyalty prices secret code SEVEN easy checks could save you £100s a year on your food shop including a loyalty price secret code. The price of food remains on the up, based on the latest data from the Office for National Statistics, so it pays to cut costs. Advertisement 1 Some easy supermarket tricks could help you slash your food bill by £100s a year Credit: Getty Luckily, there are a host of small changes you can make on your weekly supermarket trip that'll save you £100s on your bill each year. From loyalty price secret codes, to bags of surplus groceries and even product placement on shelves, here are seven revealed by consumer website Which?. Check how long Clubcard and Nectar offers are valid for Retailers offer customers loyalty prices on certain products to encourage impulse buys and repeat sales. But, the idea that a deal might expire soon can make you buy an item when you don't actually need it. Advertisement However, you can actually check when Tesco Clubcard and Sainsbury's Nectar deals are set to end through secret codes and make sure you're buying products that won't go out of date soon. You can find out when a Tesco Clubcard Prices deal will finish by checking out the date on the shelf label - the date an offer is ending will be written backwards in small print. For example, if it says "251001", it means the offer will end on October 1. Shelf labels for Sainsbury's Nectar Prices have the date the promotion started in small print, with deals usually running for a fortnight and ending on Tuesdays. Advertisement In any case, prices are often the same as items' regular selling prices at other stores, so make sure you're checking you're getting the best price. You can do this through websites like Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains Be eagle-eyed on pre-packaged fruit and veg The big supermarkets have ditched "best before" dates from lots of their pre-packaged fresh fruit and vegetables to reduce food waste. However, codes on the packaging can help you figure out when an item is coming to the end of its life. Advertisement At Asda and Tesco, letters are followed by numbers - "A" is January while "B" is February and so on, while the number is the day of the month. For example, the best before date of an item with the code 'D27' is April 27. Sainsbury's codes begin with "J" and end with "S" and contain the date in the middle. So the best before date of an item labelled "JO811S" is November 8. Advertisement Morrisons uses the first letter and day of the month, so a product with the code "O23" has a best-before date of October 23. Compare prices on pre-packaged and loose produce Pre-packaged fruit and vegetables aren't always cheaper than loose items, as well as being worse for the environment. Check the price per gram of items to work out which option is cheapest. When Which? checked prices at Tesco this month, a bag of three courgettes was £1.39 (£0.46 each) or £0.44 for one loose courgette. Advertisement Pre-chopped vegetables might be more convenient for you, but generally offer less value for money compare to whole ones too. Shop in the world foods aisle The world foods aisle is usually tucked away in an inconspicuous area of most supermarkets. But find it and you could end up getting the same ingredients for much less compared to other parts of the store. When Which? checked, a jar of Sainsbury's paprika powder was £1.10 for a 44g jar - £2.50 per 100g. Advertisement However, in the world foods aisle, a 400g bag of Natco paprika was £2.20 - just 55p per 100g and £1.95 less per 100g than the own brand paprika. Meanwhile, a 28g jar of Asda's crushed red chillies was £1 (35.7p per 10g) compared to £3 (15p per 10g) for a 200g bag of Rajah crushed red chillies in the world foods aisle. The same rule applies to larger items too, and you can make some big savings buying in bulk. A 500g bag of Tilda basmati rice was £3 in Tesco's rice aisle (£6 per kg). Advertisement However, in the world foods section, you could buy a 5kg bag of the same Tilda rice for just £16 (£3.20 per kg). Move your eyes around the store Supermarkets usually put the most expensive items at eye level where most shoppers' gazes won't stray from. However, you can usually find much cheaper produce higher, or lower, on shelves. Which? found 80 packs of PG Tips, costing £2.98, took up the top three shelves in Asda's tea aisle, while its own brand tea bags sat on the bottom three, with an 80-pack costing just £2. Advertisement Be wary of other tactics supermarkets use to try and get you parting with your hard-earned cash too. Retailers will often put products near brightly coloured signs, at the end of aisles and promote seasonal offers to suck customers in. But make sure you write a list so you're less likely to be cast astray. Buy a surprise bag of surplus groceries A host of supermarkets are on the Too Good to Go app which offers unsold bags or boxes of surplus food at drop down prices. Advertisement You just have to download the app for free via Google Play or the Apple App Store. You then reserve a bag from your local supermarket, including Asda, M&S and Waitrose, and pick it up from your local store. Aldi, for example, offers bags for £3.30 with £10 worth of food in them. Just bear in mind you can't choose what's inside the box or bag. Advertisement Bargain fruit and veg boxes Similarly, some retailers offer cheaper boxes of fruit and veg that is slightly damaged or misshapen, but still perfectly good to eat. Lidl offers a five kilo Too Good to Waste box of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50, which can usually be found at the checkouts. Sainsbury's sells £2 Taste Me, Don't Waste Me boxes with surplus fresh produce in more than 230 stores. The boxes are made up at the end of the day, so you're most likely to get one in the early evening. Advertisement The Sun asked Sainsbury's, Tesco and Asda for comment. How to save money on your food shop Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year: Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price. Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30. Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash. Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public. Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio. Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount. Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses. Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap. But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here. Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds. "Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands. The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
