Important magazine information

 08th February 2024
It’s recently been brought to our attention that some of our Veterans have not been receiving a copy of The News when they were expecting one and we’ve found that this is due to us not having their updated addresses on our records or that they have not opted in to receive this. If you are one of those affected, please get in touch with the Veteran Support team either by emailing veteransupport@sainsburys.co.uk, calling 0161 605 6520 or clicking the link above titled ‘contact us’ so that we can get this fixed for you. Please also be aware that you can access all copies of The News digitally on this website by heading to the home page and clicking the link on there. We also now only publish The News three times per year (April, August and December). Read more

Improved colleague discount

 15th November 2023
Improved colleague discount • For veterans and existing colleagues in Scotland and Wales, from Wednesday 15th November, colleague discount at Sainsbury’s will apply to eligible BWS lines – just like it is in England and Northern Ireland. • The discount will apply to around 85% of beers and wines at Sainsbury’s. We cannot apply the discount to all lines as there are regional differences in minimum unit pricing for alcohol which still apply. Broadly speaking, lines excluded will tend to be the lowest priced wines and beers. Read more
