My mother just back from Saintsbury's. £20 turkey fresh crowns are £4 and whole fresh turkeys £6. Staff said they have a warehouse full was bringing out trolley loads. This is longwater in Norwich. Freezer full, oven on and cats sitting at ovenmalready watching them cook. She bought some for friends as well.

heat for this bad boy :smiley: thanks op order placed :smiley:

Thanks

New to this so quick question. I thought you only get the instore price on day of delivery, no same day delivery so could pay normal price if any left in stock on delivery day? Fantastic find

Thanks. Ordered 5 chickens in total. Better clear up some space in the freezer now. :stuck_out_tongue:

£25 minimum order though, lul, i don't have that much freezer space

Does anyone know how this works? Just been to my local store and nothing on shelves so If your store doesn't have any stock on delivery date do they just substitute or not deliver it?

Thanks for that - not sure it's worth bothering - my local doesn't appear to have any chickens or turkeys on the shelves reduced or otherwise

There showing as full price for me.

My freezer is totally stuffed with Sainsburys bargains from my post yesterday: Sainsburys xmas food and Turkey bargains

All these chickens are showing up as available for delivery from the Hastings store too. They said yesterday there was loads more to go out today. Might be well worth a trip if you have freezer room.

Cheers...Should Sainsbury's actually fulfil this order, that's my chest freezer stocked up for a while.

Wow a decent online supermarket deal - instead of the usual instore Scunthorpe Asda only rubbish. Heat

I have said no substitutes... I will not be happy if I do not get told before I arrive for my click and collect if they are out of stock !

7.4 Our Sainsbury’s (Substitution Promise) applies to substitutes you decide to keep and works like this:

If we offer a substitute costing more than the grocery item you ordered and you keep it then we’ll give you a voucher (up to a maximum voucher value of £99.99 per order) for the difference to be used against a future Sainsbury’s online grocery order.

We’ll email you an evoucher code and will pop a copy in your online voucher wallet. You can find your voucher wallet at online checkout. The voucher can be used for online groceries only and won’t expire for 6 months

If we offer a substitute costing the same as or less than the item you’ve ordered and you keep it then we’ll charge you for the item we deliver. We won’t consider this item or make any deduction when calculating the value of your voucher for any other substitutes;

We’ll calculate the value of the voucher by comparing the price of the item you ordered with the price of the item we delivered. We’ll tot up the total for the substitutes you keep and send you a voucher for this amount.

We’ll include any multibuy promotions and offers in the comparison so if you order two items on multibuy and we only have one item in stock and we offer a substitute for one or both items, we’ll offer you a voucher for the difference between the multibuy price and the price of the items you keep.

Comparisons based on our in-store price on your delivery day.

Does anyone know if Sainsbury does Kosher and or Halal Chicken ?

thanks, ordered plenty for freezer, just one out of stock when come to paying, getting home delivered tomorrow for £1 as total came to £40 with some battery's for the kids toys. just hope they fulfil the items.

Dammit getting a generic system error when trying to pay.

in store too! got a huge chicken reduced from £10 to £2!! its MASSIVE!!

What's the maximum you can purchase per order ? X

Just ordered 15!

Just tried to order but comes up with reduced price but then says these are no longer on promotion??

Thanks, great find.

freezer running low after xmas so order 16 assorted lol cheers op we love chicken :smiley:

The 3kg chicken roaster are going through at reduced price for me but the other chickens at 90p-£1.40 aren't reducing by correct amount , for instance 2 x Sainsbury's Corn Fed Whole Chicken at £1.10 each are coming to £5.50 in my basket.

Anyone else have the same ?

yea same here

PS - Hot deal, just got 18 chickens for £40.93 - £2.27 a chicken.

Now all showing as not available for me when I try to add to basket.. Is this the same for others ?

Just turkeys in Stafford yesterday, no cheap chucks.

Just went to pick mine up from click and collect and every one is a substitute, poo!

my original bill got substituted from £84 to £258 when it got delivered! apparently they send a voucher for the difference which is a bit of a pain when they could have just auto reduced the price difference from the reciept.

I wasn't offered any voucher for the difference, not that I would've taken it anyway.

Looks like all now removed from their site !

Thanks for all your updates, I've cancelled my order which was due for tomorrow.

​i already phoned them this morning and was told it was normal to be given a voucher for subs (probably not normally £150), i can put up with the voucher if they give the actual difference back eventually but feel they should have made it clear how this sub charging actually works.
Thankfully this was for buisiness use so it isn`t that bad for me as long as i get the difference but could imagine it to be much worse for others where 75% off becomes initially full price. i`ll be giving cs a **** if that voucher doesn`t come though...

when to collect, no substitutes, no order, fuming!

I placed an order for delivery today added the chicken but made sure I had ticked no substitues for it having had experience of sainsburys substitution policy before. If the chicken arrives this afternoon with the rest of my groceries then bonus if not ah well was worth a try :smiley:

​well that`s extreamly misleading and will be phoning to complain tommorrow, neither driver or the person i phoned this morning made any mention of this limit when i had the opportunity to return the goods to my nearest sainsbury.He even wrote a note on my account that i was owed over £100 just in case, very poor when sainsbury`s own staff don`t even know the rules.

My order was just delivered. 9 of the 15 chickens I ordered were substituted so I sent them back. I then realised that I had been charged normal price for the Corn Fed ones (£4.40/KG instead of £1.15/KG).
What a joke.

Where did you read this?

Just had my fathers delivered no chickens and rude when phoned customer service , I'd love to know who actually got their chicken delivered? Quite awful considering the amount that didn't, I have just cancelled my order and was told my chickens were 3.90kg. Supposed to be 0.90kg Serious let down sainsburys !

Furthermore he ordered extras amounting to £6.00 they didn't notify beforehand that 90% of his order was missing (10chicken) but turned up with the 6 pound worth of extras .... Delivery was 3 quid... Worst supermarket going!

It says on the item the promotion ends 29th - if you select a delivery slot for after that it won't apply the promotion.

I only ordered 6 and a few other things I didn't really need to make the £40 minimum basket, chose a £2 delivery slot and surprise surprise, no chickens and paying £2 to have unnecessaries delivered!

Well that was a disaster. Ordered 16 chickens, all substituted with small chickens but to compensate they gave me 23 chickens instead. All charged at full price and when I rang up, they said they would refund the difference in an evoucher.

I neither had room to accommodate 23 chickens, nor did I want a £100ish evoucher so declined all the chickens!

same ordered 9 chickens and some battery's to make it £40+ , minus £4 off voucher it came to £37, guy came tonight with substitutes to total value of £83, told him where to go.

just an update, sainsbury is going to give my difference back via direct bank transfer instead, ordinarily an evoucher would be given automatically for the difference but because it was over £100 it required that i email a technical division to sort it out. happy now, but almost gave me a heart attack with these policies.
