About Sainsbury's
Sainsbury's is one of the UK's biggest supermarket chains, and its website and app let you do the weekly shop online. You fill a basket from the same range sold in its stores, book a home delivery slot or pick up from a store with Click & Collect, and the order is picked by staff from a local branch. Nectar, the loyalty scheme the group owns, unlocks member-only Nectar Prices on many products, so it pays to link a card before checking out. Substitutions are offered when something is out of stock, and the help centre explains its substitution price promise. The same company also owns Argos, Tu clothing and Habitat, and some Argos items can be collected in Sainsbury's stores. Shopping online is free, but deliveries carry a charge that depends on the slot and basket size, and there is a minimum basket. It suits UK households who already shop at Sainsbury's and want the weekly shop delivered; it only operates in the UK.
Best for: UK households who want their weekly Sainsbury's shop delivered or ready to collect.
