Half price offers starting from 27th December 2015 and ending midnight 9th January 2016 (feels weird typing that!)
No code is needed and will be live from above date
Midweek pass is Tues / Weds / Thurs Will be £15 (From £30)
Anytime pass is any date / time (Amazing i know) Will be £30 (from £60)
Min £40 spend per shop but can use the pass one per day & everyday if you want
Example if you spent £3 per week / one shop on delivery without the pass it'll total £156! so a good saving
**£13.50 if you are a JS Colleague as you get staff discount off the cost.

Anyone getting fed up with "HUKD Picks" remaining high up on the list (or at the top like the one over xmas) when there's really no reason..... Seems like this site is turning into an advertising site by stealth.

I use Sainsburys as took advantage of this same offer last year. They're awful with bringing short shelf life items and unlike other supermarkets, they charge you the substitution price rather than charging the lowest price. I've also had meat delivered that had gone off. I've complained several times. The drivers are all friendly enough but that's not enough to keep me as a customer so I'll be going back to Tesco

Because there is a cost to delivery and they are busineses and not charities? If there was enough profit or the business case to simply offer it free to win market share then I'm sure one would do it. However sensible business model would seem to be to charge a relatively low 'annual fee' thus making the customer think they are tied in or feel financially obliged to use it for a year. Getting a year of delivery for 30 quid seems excellent value to me.

Good point re: substitutions - when they substitute essentials like bog roll with more expensive variants you're effectively forced to pay the extra if you can't do without the product. That's why I don't use Sainsburys delivery any more.

Nice thanks, thinking to switch from Tescos to Sainsburys. Still have a couple of months on Tescos but can use them interchangeably for a while.

In your description you say
Midweek pass is Tues / Weds / Thurs Will be £30 (From £60)
Anytime pass is any date / time (Amazing i know) Will be £15 (From £30)
Is that really correct that anytime pass will be cheaper than a midweek pass?

it's the wrong way around in the description - the anytime pass is the more expensive one :wink:

Really depends on your area. Nothing really wrong with them, substitutions etc are all reasonable. Drivers friendly and on time. The meat, like chicken say, that's a huge no go area. I could write all day about how filthy it is here. Went vegetarian in the end! Sainsbury's is definitely better quality for meat by a long shot.
Everything else is pretty good, once you get used to their rotating 'offers' and are a bit flexible on what you buy (sometimes stock up a little when something you buy regular is on sale) it's maybe the best in terms of value/quality.
I just fancy a change. Sainsbury's gave us some vouchers and we tried them and everything seemed fine. Bit pricier on some stuff but will work that out and get the cost down :man:
Worst in our area is.. surprise surprise Waitrose! Their substitutions are ridiculous. Every time we had their delivery I had to go to our local Morrissons to patch it up. If you buy say 350g of something, like stir fry, they'll sub it with some posh stir fry, with odd ingredients, and only 100g. So after they've done that with a bunch of items, you end up with a more expensive shop than usual (because their min order is higher) and much less food than you need for the week. So off I have to go to Morrissons when I was hoping to relax on Sunday. :smirk:

Same experience with Sainsbury's regarding substitutions - ended up complaining and got money off voucher for the next shop, but I am not planning to do this every time a more costly substitution is given. We did online shopping with all retailers for a month (each) and Tesco was the overall winner - the easiest to use website, substitutions always charged at lowest price and great drivers. Sainsbury's food is in most cases better quality than Tesco, I can agree with that, but then again we also noticed that price is also 10%-20% higher than Tesco, so you do pay for that quality. Average shopping with Tesco £50, same basket with Sainsbury's closer to £60.
Shopping in Lidl + Online Top-up of items which are not sold there with Tesco always worked best for us.

We are thinking of switching from Tesco to Sainsburys (thanks for the heads up on this pass!). Tesco drivers are really helpful; Tesco customer service is really good - but when I look on the £130 weekly receipt and see, 'We are pleased to tell you, you have saved 40p this week by shopping with Tesco', I kinda think that's not enough to keep me and Sainsbury's always seems to taste better???

Any idea if these will stack onto existing passes?
Subs can be annoying at times but a lot better recently. What's great now is the price match with ASDA which means I get best of both worlds.
