They own Argos now.
Likely see a lot of cross promotion and Argos in every store (that has space)

don't peple read the comments SAINSBURY now own ARGOS

whats a strange description haha Just a warning? Thanks you've given me a stern warning - i'll avoid at all costs

I got 50 points when you spend £1.50 on vinegar.
Shall I make a new thread?

I would think so. When I used mine, I had to pay a little more, she hadn't seen one before but she put it through without questioning. If they don't know what to do with the penny, buy a bag to take it over a fiver.

Has anyone actually used one of the £5 vouchers that has no minimum spend listed? If sow ere there any quibbles from the staff? I'd like to buy something at £4.99 assume that would be fine?

Thanks everyone who voted hot and commented. I got a couple of badges :-). Really was not expecting so much heat!!!

Mine has no minimum.

Thanks :smiley:

no minimum spend? The £5 voucher I got has a £40 minimum!

no minimum spend? The £5 voucher I got has a £40 minimum!

went ti angel sainsbury yesterday and nothing there they had the machines but guess they no paper in them.

Nothing for me

Given that a warning, which can be weak or strong, is cautionary advice on possible danger, difficulty, harm or anything else unfavourable, it seems quite reasonable and grammatically correct to characterise any advice to avoid potential loss as a warning. Haha.

Thanks, it does. I got one when I went shopping at Sainsburys yesterday but it says 'Just for you with your Nectar card' and then a number, which is weird as I don't have a Nectar card. Maybe the cashier gave me someone else's :/

Anyway, thanks for the deal. Lots of people ignore these paper slips and throw them in the bin on their way out.

Thanks op the Mrs picked one up saturday and didn't check, just found it :smiley:

Another "didn't get one" from me. :-( Shall we start posting lottery scratch cards as "deals"? ;-)

bought this but no sign of an Arg voucher

​No...and no one asked me to show nectar card...I don t even have one ,hope that helps.

Sainsbury's placed a bid to buy Argos last year, that was rejected by the share holders of Argos, later the same year, Sainsbury's placed another higher bid to secure the Argos group, which was accepted this time around, the deal was signed and sealed in September 2016 Argos is now part of the Sainsbury's family, there is no news of any name change, some Argos stores will close in the next two years, as part of the deal that was agreed, and bigger Sainsbury's stores will have a small Argos placed within the store to cover any Argos in the area that closes. I would point out that prices in both stores are different even though both are owned by the same company, it would still pay to check deals in each store, before buying any product.

Did you have to show your nectar card? I thought these are account-specific.

thank you!!! I reserved couple of cheap Playmobile Advent calendars at Argos , just when I was about to collect them I saw your post- my Sainsburys it s 2min away from Argos so decided to pop in to Sainsburys first...when I walked in ... there it was....on the floor in front of me ...Argos £5 voucher (without minimum spend) , amazing!thanks OP :DDD

my closest Saintsbury's is 20+ miles away :neutral_face: Heat added

Wikipedia Homebase info; "Founded by Sainsbury's and GB-Inno-BM in 1979, the company was owned by Home Retail Group from October 2006 until it was sold to Wesfarmers in February 2016. Wesfarmers have announced plans to rebrand the business, under its existing Bunnings Warehouse name within three to five years.".
"Bunnings confirmed in November 2016 that the Homebase store in St Albans would be the first to be rebranded as Bunnings Warehouse as part of a trial, and will open in February 2017. An additional three will be opened by June 2017, with up to six more completed by the end of the year.[16] The stores will adopt a low-cost warehouse model."

Yes, many have stated the obvious reason Sainsbury's bought Argos. Since on line shopping and deliveries is growing so well for the big stores, Sainsbury's felt they had an excess of space in stores. Hence benefit to move the local Argos in there and they use the space plus ultimately closing the old external Argos stores to save money !

spent £60 in sainsburys and didnt get one

not in camden, but theres no argos kiosk either.
will try angel next week.

I got a piece of that voucher :disappointed: They have forgotten to load a new roll in printer :disappointed:

My local Sainsbury store HEREFORD just opened an ARGOS instore I did a grocery shop but did not get any vouchers at the checkout. They must be use to my custom

So at the top where it says just for you with your Nectar card followed underneath by your nectar card number (mostly x'd out) what is there on your voucher?

Yeh but who owns Iceland ?

Maybe not this side of Christmas.

Not true. Just bought a paper and milk without nectar card and got £5 Argos voucher.

Well anyone saying the voucher is usable only at Sainsbury's with Argos instore is completely wrong. The voucher clearly states valid in store at any Argos.

I was talking to a store manager (not Sainsburys but up until very recently he did). They are ALL desperate for their tills to ring this Christmas and offers will be coming thick and fast. I think that's true, I have been getting some good deals.

Christmas trading results are so important to them. If you buy something then find it cheaper elsewhere, MOAN! - compo is on it's way!

Got to love Brexit. All the doom and gloom. It ain't happening. At all.

Firms only use Nectar for the vast amounts of data they can get from it. Bunnings have decided to get theirs from elsewhere. I was at a Christmas do for a data company the other night and a woman from Bunnings gave a brief talk about their plans.

From which disparaging comment, one wonders why you obviously choose to 'trawl through this site'. (BTW, thanks to OP for posting this advice, which many of us will appreciate in the spirit it was offered.)

The Sainsbury's supermarket at Hedge End, Southampton, doesn't have an Argos within the store - but it is possible to buy items online from Argos and collect them from Sainsbury's. A useful scheme, as the nearest Argos is several miles away.

You should probably still post it, perhaps as a warning to others not to throw their post out without checking!

You too could be posting the hottest deal of the day with a deal like that :smiley:

Got one last night, only spent about £10!

*whoosh*

I spent 300 quid last week in sainsburys. Split trolly into 4 separate transactions hoping to exploit vouchers and brand match vouchers. Got no vouchers.....

According to my manager in Sainsburys, 30 stores are integrating Argos into them. There's one opening In the barnstaple Branch. then the 2 Argos's in town will close.

Bought 7 items (2x milk, bread, plant, 3x fruits)- paid each item seperately at self checkout... Got 5x£5 off!!

But Jeff Bezos aged 52 years owns less than 17% of amazon and yet is worth $66B (behind Gates and Buffet - I make JB 3rd most wealthy) there must be someone who thinks amazon are onto a winner.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but I was behind someone the other day with one of these vouchers and they were told that they can only use these vouchers in Argos stores which are within Sainsburys. That doesn't make much sense to me, however, because I've never seen an Argos store in Sainsburys and they are giving out these vouchers in every single Sainsburys store.

Just something I thought I would mention...

Can you get multiple vouchers. How much do you have to spend to get the voucher.

Also can you use multiple vouchers on one Argos spend.

​lol Sainsburys owns Argos and Habitat. Dumb ****.

​No sainsburys used to own homebase years ago and sold it to home retail group. Then recently bought home retail group but didnt want homebase back, only wanted argos and habitat. So another party had to be found to buy homebase. You will see alot of argos stores closing in the next few years and moving into sainsburys superstores, because the reason home retail group were so keen to sell up is due to the lease on around 70% of the argos stores are up for renewal in the next few years. This would've cost them millions to renew, whereas sainsburys will just keep all the big earning argos stores open and close the rest and move into a supermarket.

You need to use a nectar card to get these vouchers...

Do you need to be a nectar card holder? Or would you get one without reward card???

Been in at least 10 times with £300 spend not one voucher !

​Complete and utter nonsense. Walmart is an American company that owns Asda, nothing whatsoever to do with Sainsurys or Home Retail Group.

I spent £45 yesterday and no voucher

One would assume he means because many just throw the vouchers in the bin without even looking at them.

Will be sorry to see Argos extracted from our local Homebase, which was within walking distance. The two nearest Sainsbury's branches are far too small to accommodate an Argos concession. Having said that, the Fasttrack queues were pretty slow, with fewer staff in these mini Argos outlets.





Amazon doesn't turn a profit, though. I don't know if Sainsbury's wants to follow Amazon's business model as Sainsbury's own shareholders will probably want to see a dividend. This might be one race to the bottom too far.

What, like mini donuts?

Only for my local store though so im guessing everyone else got it in the post aswell lol.

Excellent move by Sainsburys buying Argos, even though Homebase wasn't a success for them.
Amazon is the supermarkets biggest threat and Sainsburys are looking to rival amazon with same day deliveries.
I think this is a very smart move by Sainsburys but what they must must do is change Argos returns policy to 'No Quibble'.
I very rarely buy from Argos purely because returns result in interrogation and distain from staff then manager.
THIS MUST CHANGE if they are to succeed and rival amazon.
Also instore ordering with Argos in all/most Sainsburys - same day delivery that Argos offer - if they can roll this out with groceries I see great potential here.

How much did you spend and what did you buy? I'm in Canterbury too

the

Awesome thanks

Sarwal's News, the corner shop in Knaphill owns all of them put together.

I went and got a refund at customer services and I got a £5 Argos voucher

How many items are in you daily / weekly shop basket; maybe 20? That's 20 opportunities to receive a voucher when checked-out singly... lol.

Thanx, worth looking out for, for sure ..... :-)

Here's a bit of a bizarre situation and a reversal of what you describe!

Homebase at Straiton near Edinburgh closed in September 2015 (followed by the closure of Edinburgh St Leonards in November 2016). As a compromise, Home Retail Group opened a "Homebase Decorating Centre" within Argos at Straiton. It closed pretty much as soon as the Sainsbury's takeover of HRG was completed at the start of September and has since become a Habitat store, relocating from within Homebase at Edinburgh Craigleith.

Assuming your store is large enough to contain an Argos, I wouldn't be surprised if the transition is fairly seamless with the Argos concession within Homebase closing and reopening within Sainsbury's the next day. Sainsbury's will be paying Bunnings for use of store space so I imagine they'll want to get out of Homebase as soon as possible.

Also somewhat strange to think that Sainsbury's co-founded Homebase.

And of course Walmart is ultimately owned by Farmfoods Ltd.

​i've been told the plan/idea is to take the mini argos' out of the homebase stores n they want to basically do the same thing to sainsburys, putting little argos stores in them

sainsburys have bought argos, and bunnings have bought homebase

Sainsbury's are owned by Argos and Argos is owned by habitat and there in the same group as Walmart so that made Asda there partner too it's so confusing

Got one today on petrol, no other purchase. £5 off £40 though.

Didn't get one of these vouchers when i was in Colchester Sainsbury's a couple of days back got one for money off £xxx worth of online food shopping and another one for bonus nectar points

We got one today as well and misses works at Sainsburys.

Can anyone confirm if they used a nectar card/what they bought to get them?

I think it's a bit unfair that you got 50 points when I spent £1.50 on vinegar

What is a bit strange is that we used to get loads of coupons and vouchers at Sainsbury Northfield, but we haven't got one in months now. And we are shopping there. Just today. Nothing again.

hahaha warning :smile:

nice one from argosainsburys.

I got one today attached to my receipt from my online shop today. Can't see a minimum spend on it?

Got one in Sainsbury's Canterbury today

There are a few clues in the thread if you're bright enough to decipher them! :confused:

Clearly since you went into your hermit's cave.

Just spent £65 on clothing at Sainsbury but no such voucher offered.

So, who owns who ? Sainsburys owns Homebase and Argos ?

Well given people link their ebay account up to their nectar card for 100 nectar points and that gets voted the hottest deal of the week i'd say yes.

It's a free country.

I got 50 points when you spend £1.50 on vinegar.
Shall I make a new thread?

you get more than that at habitat :wink:

Or folk who look for cigarette butts with a bit still on; Or folk who look for discarded McDonalds cups with a sticker still on.:smile:

Got one today. Doesn't have a min spend on it either

sainsburys maybe now part of argos :smiley:

Got one with my Sainsburys food delivery tonight, £5 off at Argos but minimum spend is £40 to use it !

Since September 5th 2016

I got a few

I did'nt get one either today.

Just been sainsburys.. didnt get any voucher

Was going to Argos anyway but popped in to Sainsburys first and bought some reduced donuts (on the same retail park). Didn't get a voucher unfortunately, is a nectar card needed?

To be fair, i'm sure most folk who spend their lives trawling through this site to save 10p and are as tight as a nuns chuff will check these all the time. Not sure why the very customer specific offer is getting so hot? its only a piece of advice not a deal

well shame sainsburys is around a 20 minutes drive otherwise I would have tried a experiment to see if I could get a voucher maybe try buying 1 item at a time if anybody else wants to do that but do it when it's empty or u may get abused for it.

It's 25% at Habitat ! I assume all their stuff must be overpriced !!

at least its not a "pre-warning". A lot of people use this term nowadays and I don't know quite how to prepare myself. Its like a warning that you're going to receive a warning.

Got one this morning when I grabbed a few bits. Heated.

I got one :smile:

We was in the Banbury sainsburys store a couple of hours ago and we didn't get an Argos voucher so not giving them out in every store

Think i need to stop going to the self checkouts, I've just spent £28 and got nothing, infact I can't remember the last time i got any kind of voucher.

I'm sure they forget to fill the paper roll up that they get printed on :disappointed:

Maybe y'all need to spend 17 quids exactly ?

i spent £45 today and got £5
Argos voucher plus my first tick of 4 needed to get 3000 extra points.

I just bought hotdogs, rolls and bits for the kids so nothing special. I think it's just a lottery. Can't see anything on the website about it at all.

If you're a Sainsburys colleague as of December 1st we get 10% discount at Argos and habitat :smile:

I was at Sainsburys today, confirming that I did not get one of these.

Such people have no place on hotukdeals!

I got a £5 off in the post from Argos the other day!

mines 5 of 40

Good deal, athough I didn't get one when I shopped at Sainsburys today.

Do you have to buy a specific product, or could it be (neactar) account specific, or is it just a lottery?

Whatever the case, I'm voting this deal HOT, HOT, HOT! as I've seen many others have too.

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/jun/22/first-homebase-store-to-be-turned-into-a-bunnings-in-october

I wouldn't rush to Sainsburys on the basis of these vouchers at tills. It is very random and pends on the person. Sometimes I get 1 voucher a visit. Other times you get none. Sainsburys will be keen to get more customers in the door at Argos. A £5 voucher will do that.

It's a good deal if these vouchers are wide spread. Probably user specifix and on that basis down to luck. Reality is only the OP can use the voucher they posted.

no voucher for me either...

I just called in for some rolls on my way home, spent 58p and got a £5 Argos voucher with no minimum spend...result.

Great if u get one. Been few times and had nothing

Homebase for some reason are no longer giving nectar points as of the end of the year either

As someone who works there I'm pretty sure we were told the deal was finalised sometime in July. That said it has been in the works for the best part of a year. CMA interfering and the like.

Its funny really. We have a Homebase with an Argos inside right opposite our store. I reckon thats going to be a mess once contracts run out.

All Homebase stores around me decided not to be called Bunnings rather NEXT lol

So will this now be another demonstration of our rights as we stand at the tills refusing the Sainsburys vouchers but rather only accept Argos £5.00 and it must be suitable for vegans lol

Whoosh
Lol

Nice find op. Heat from me

Around January last year, in the same sense Homebase was bought and is now owned by an Australian company called Bunnings. All Homebase stores will become Bunnings in the next 2-3 years.

Really?
Wow, since when?

Just got mine ...winner :man:

Nice to know, Thank you :smile:

don't peple read the comments SAINSBURY now own ARGOS

interesting as an argos just opened in my local sainsbury

Just got the same voucher from nantwich sainsburys :smiley:

I've just been to Sainsbury's and my voucher was double points! Wouldn't make a special trip....!

Argos is part of the home retail group, which consists of Habitat as well as Homebase (not anymore). Sainsbury's bought the home retail group not the other way around; Argos isn't bigger than Sainsbury's :P

There all doomed one has got to go

whats a strange description haha Just a warning? Thanks you've given me a stern warning - i'll avoid at all costs

great find I'm off 2 sainsburys heatadded

Heat added but who owns who argos bought out Sainsbury's now

Not for me today.
Usual triple points, 60 points when I spend £1.50 at the Deli counter and 130 points when I buy 6 x 1L of milk.

and Habitat

They own Argos now.
Likely see a lot of cross promotion and Argos in every store (that has space)
