Sainsbury’s Shopper Says Bonus Leg of Lamb Turned Online Order Into a 'Lottery Win'

The viral Reddit post drew attention to limited‑time Nectar prices that make whole legs of lamb far cheaper for loyalty card holders.

Overview

  • The customer said a second leg of lamb arrived with her Sainsbury’s delivery after she ordered one, and she posted a kitchen photo on Reddit.
  • Sainsbury’s website showed whole legs priced at £14.84 and £18.24 with Nectar versus £29.67 and £36.49 without the card.
  • Coverage notes the deal applies to British or New Zealand whole legs of lamb of about 2.3kg on a time‑limited promotion.
  • Reddit commenters cracked jokes and shared similar delivery wins, including a pun that Sainsbury’s would have “no leg to stand on.”
  • No statement from Sainsbury’s was reported, and articles also flag that Christmas delivery slots opened on October 23 with order changes allowed until 11pm the day before.
