Regular Supermarket Money Off Vouchers

A question about : Regular Supermarket Money Off Vouchers

Hi,

This may be a well known way of getting coupons, but thought I'd share it.

I've been a fairly loyal Sainbury's shopper over the years with a Nectar card, but I find that if I shop for a several weeks at Tescos I soon get money off vouchers from Sainsbury's through my door. In fact I've had Ј12 off Ј60 shops for the last 18 weeks running! I expect I will also be getting coupons fromTescos Clubcard soon as I've been neglecting them recently due to Sainsbury's generosity

• Hi MattED
  I too find that I receive coupons from Sainsbury when I have not shopped there for a while. Furthermore, people I know receive their coupons (typically Ј6 off Ј60 spend, e.g.) at different times to me.
  At the moment, I have a Ј9 off Ј60 spend (from 30th Nov) and any Nectar points used are double their value through 25th (think that one is for everyone, but it's not mentioned here on Money Saving Expert).
  I would like to know if there is a clever way of getting Sainsbury to issue these coupons at one's convenience. (It is false economy for me to spend Ј5 in petrol to travel to my nearest store, unless I am already going that way and I often miss the voucher's expiry date).
• I sometimes get a pack of Ј6.00 off when you spend Ј40.00 - I've found the Tesco offers better, but I'm going to Sainsbury in December to use my Nectar points!
• My OH and I have a nectar card and clubcard each but only ever use one of them at a time.We find that the "unused" loyalty cards then generate postal coupons as the stores think we have not been shopping there in a while.At this point we switch over to the cards we haven't been using and hey presto after a few weeks these seem to generate additional money off coupons.
  Also a trick I have found at Sainsburys if I have no double points coupons I simply go to customer services and ask for the balance on the Nectar card currently in use.9 times out of 10 when the assistant scans the card for the balance the till spits a double points coupon.Result!!!
