Everyone using a Sainsbury’s Nectar card hit with £828 warning

Customers shopping at Sainsbury’s with a Nectar Card have been warned they are £828 worse off than Aldi customers across a year of weekly shops.

The orange supermarket giant which also owns Argos has continued to offer Nectar Card prices’ with deep discounts for shoppers who show their Nectar card at the till, following in rival Tesco’s footsteps, which was the first to offer ‘Clubcard prices’.

But although these offers are genuine money savers, consumer magazine Which? has found that shoppers using Sainsbury’s for their weekly shop, even those who have a Nectar Card, are overpaying by £828.88 a year compared to Aldi shoppers.

Which? ran its monthly supermarket comparison test for July and found that Aldi was again the lowest priced supermarket for 63 essential food and drink items, offering a basket of goods for £113.87 on average.

Lidl was second cheapest, charging just £2.37 more, while Asda was in third place, with £125.61.

Tesco prices including Clubcard prices averaged to £127.50 while Sainsbury’s prices came to £129.81 for those who used a Nectar Card.

For shoppers doing a weekly shop, that £15.94 more they are paying at Sainsbury’s makes an £828.88 difference over the course of a year of visits.

Without a Nectar Card, the price difference between Sainsbury’s and Aldi was even wider. In fact, Sainsbury’s was the most expensive supermarket for the tested basket of goods apart from Waitrose and Ocado. Sainsbury’s prices without a Nectar card came to £134.41, a clear £20.54 more than Aldi.

The most expensive supermarket by far was Waitrose, charging £146.98 for the same goods – nearly a third more than Aldi shoppers pay for the same equivalent items.

Which? also ran a separate, larger test on a broader selection of items, with 169 included in total. Aldi and Lidl were excluded from this test because they didn’t carry some of the items at all.

In this face-off, Tesco came second behind Asda, even for Clubcard users, and Sainsbury’s came third with a Nectar Card.
