At only 10p off per litre only if you have already spent £60.00 in the shop doesn't seem to be much of a saving at all. You would need to do full tank! Considering that the majority of weekly shops by regular customers, according to their own stats, is around the £40.00 mark then the offer is aimed at those who do one giant shop per visit. Most of their customers then by their own stats make a few shopping trips a week and so would be excluded from the offer.
Nice try Sainsbury........but I for one will not fall into that trap.....

Of course you'd do a full tank if you have a ?pence/litre off .... you'd be daft not to, and that, on an Omega is giving you over 10% off your £60 shop. By & large, our shop is for just the two of us, & £60 is no problem, not sure where your £40 shop comes from - that would barely cover the bottom of a trolly.
Can't see a trap either ....... if you only have so much to spend each week/month, all the offer is doing is encouraging you to spend it in £6o lumps at Sainsbury

Not really his £40 figure is it, when he stated its Sainsbury's own stats 

Not everyone uses a trolley when shopping, 9/10 I use a basket 

So .............. that long walk & short plank I was talking about

At my parents there is one within 1/2 mile & another several others around 10 miles away 

Nope. The local BP. Next nearest is Bicester, about 14-16m (depending on route - other side of town centre), and 15m to Pottersbury. Then the BP on northbound A34, and the 2 at Jnc15a on M1.

All that said, never really found it a problem, and there is always petrol if it is.


As to LPG prices and tax, yes, tax is increasing, but I think the LPG prices are more governed by gas prices. Look at the price of LPG heating gas (taxed at 5% I believe) this time of year. Same as heating oil.

Did say around 10 miles

£40 spend a week - tell me where!!  Guess that was about 10 years ago - like TB ours is normally in excess of £100 per week.

Mine is prob not far off that, usually once every 2 months or so we do a mega shop at Tesco stocking up on bulk items, like bog rolls, cleaners, dishwasher stuff, tins, wine, beer and so on. Usually around £100 as well.

But day to day i just pop over road spending a few quid at a time, its about 30 second walk from my flat building to a nice little supermarket

Damn right! Just the two of us, and a trolley load is into 3 figures these days. A £40 shop at a supermarket sounds like a wasted journey to me. Omega gets brimmed and so does the 20L jerry can when one of these offers comes round. As the Omega runs around on LPG, petrol tank is normally empty, so can always take full advantage. It then becomes a fuel bowser for filling the MX5 and Westfield.

I wasn't including the bulk items, thats another £200-300 quid every few weeks on a Costco run...

Sainsbugs have got 10p off a litre with a £60 shop.
 dont like sainsbugs but 10p off is 10p off,and super unleaded aint cheap.

Asda is £1.28.7 a litre, but I'll save a lot more than you paying Sainsbury prices.

and some spAsda stores do gas as well.

Never shop at Sainsbugs, would be interesting to see if they have put a limit on how much fuel you can buy with this offer  Some put these offers on and limit how much you can fill up

I have never known Sainsbury's to do that, and I have filled the miggy tank right up when those offers are on

Your being ripped off mate.50p per litre is the norm if buying on a commercial basis.
Filled my Cavalier yesterday,it took 40 litres and cost me £20. Im hoping to find a good direct supply in the near future at around 25p per litre,which would equate to approx. 200mpg.

Nice thought though. Ungrateful buggers ain't they.
