Why not Zilch Your Weekly Sainsbury’s Shop?

Blog | 18th Sep 2021 | 6min read


Britain’s go-to since 1869, Sainsbury’s has become a household name in the grocery sector.

Employing well over 100,000 employees at almost 1,500 shops across the UK, you’re bound to be only a stone throw away from a Sainsbury’s. With so many accessible stores across the country, it’s so important to ensure you get all of their best stuff.

Did you know that if you Tap and Pay in 1 for your grocery shop with Zilch, you’ll get 2% back in Zilch Rewards? You can use these Zilch Rewards to discount your next shop.

Alternatively, with Tap and Pay in 4, you can pay only 25% of the total price with a transaction fee upfront, then pay the rest in 3 instalments over 6 weeks, terms and conditions apply*.

Check out these products that you could potentially include in your next Sainsbury’s shop.

Habitat Jambi Garden Chair

It came as a surprise to us, too, but Sainsbury’s has their own outdoor furniture range.

Part of their “Here comes the sun” garden range, the Habitat Jambi Garden Chair is as stylish as it is affordable.

With a beautiful array of red, blue and yellow, it’s summer if summer could be an outdoor lounge chair.

If you’re anything like us, you might be worried about bringing the chair in when it starts to rain, or when winter inevitably comes around, but don’t worry.

The durable plastic frame means you can leave it out in the elements all year round.

It also comes with a fixed foot rest, guaranteed to leave you in comfort as you soak up the sun.

Vila Green Bardot Dress

The plot thickens: Sainsbury’s also has its own clothing line, named “Tu”.

The Vila Green Bardot Dress is a perfect purchase for your summer wardrobe.

A beautiful blend of casual and formal, this luscious green-coloured dress is perfect for outdoor gatherings, and is bound to turn heads at any cocktail party.

What’s more, it’s green, so it’s clearly one of our favourites.

Yo! Sushi Platters

We bet you didn’t know Sainsbury’s also makes Yo! Sushi platters, available for pickup in 2-3 days.

Sainsbury’s is now partnering with Yo! Sushi, one of the UK’s most recognisable Sushi shops. We can’t think of a better platter to accompany the first garden party of the summer than the Yo!Sushi vegan platter; it tastes phenomenal, and everyone can eat it, so the fuss is low, too.

Lanson Le Black Label Brut 75 CL

What better way to kick off the summer than by popping off some bubbles?

The Black Label Brut is guaranteed to make you and your guests feel like a million bucks, without having to pay anything close to that.

Brut is certainly not your average sparkling wine, tasting truly exquisite, being a British favourite since 1846.

Habitat 2 Seater Faux Leather Tub Sofa

Comfort is key, so why not start your summer right by treating yourself to a super comfy, yet affordable sofa?

This sofa comes in an understated “Mocha” colour, allowing it to seamlessly blend into any room of your choice.

As it’s made of faux leather, it’s durable, reasonably-priced, and, for obvious reasons, it’s a lot more guilt-free than genuine leather, too.

FATFACE Pink Kingfisher Print Shirt

Another item from Sainsbury’s “Tu” brand, this shirt is a must-buy to seize the summer in style.

Made from ultra-breathable linen and cotton, this shirt will keep you as cool as you look while wearing it.

Pimm’s Sundowner Raspberry & Redcurrant Flavoured Aperitif

An absolute British summertime classic, Pimm’s is perfect for any outdoor gathering. Of course, you’ve got to throw some chopped summer fruit in there as well, and maybe some cucumber if you’re feeling fancy.

Why not try the classic Pimm’s taste with a modern twist? The new raspberry and redcurrant flavour will make you feel as if you’re sipping summer itself.

Beyond Meat Plant-Based Burger Patties

This product has stormed through restaurants all across the UK.

It’s truly astounding how great of a substitute it is to genuine beef, and of course there are a ton of health and environmental benefits.

This vegan burger is super easy to digest, meaning you won’t feel tired or lethargic, and, of course, there is no animal meat involved at all.

But don’t take our word for it. As we know, children are brutally honest, so check out this awesome video of children trying the Beyond Meat Burger for the first time.

Bush 32 Inch HD Ready LED Freeview TV

You may have heard that Sainsbury’s now owns Argos.

Well, are you looking for a super high quality, yet affordable TV? Then stop scrolling.

This 32-inch TV would be a fantastic purchase to grace a new apartment, or to bring with you to university.

Pizza Express Margherita Pizza

Whether you’re entertaining guests, or having a quiet night in with some Netflix, this delicious pizza perfectly simulates eating at Pizza Express itself.

Add a drizzle of olive oil for a crispier finish, and feel free to add any additional toppings you might have, too.

Opti 12×6 Ft Premium Quality Football Goal

What better way to suit our summer of soccer by getting your own backyard football goal?

It’s super easy to install, so you’ll find yourself scoring screamers in mere minutes.

This would be perfect alongside any BBQ or picnic.

There you have it. So on your next visit to Sainsbury’s, why not try to make a shopping list?
