Before you buy

Shopping with Sainsbury's Energy

Sainsbury's Energy has four tariffs, all paid by Direct Debit, for one fuel or both:

  • Fix and Save: prices fixed for 12 months
  • Fix and Reward: prices fixed for 24 months, with bonus Nectar points
  • Standard Variable: prices that can go up or down
  • Track and Reward: never more than the price cap, no exit fees, and Nectar points every quarter

On every tariff except Track and Reward you get double or triple Nectar points on your Sainsbury's shopping for as long as you're with it. Remember to link your Nectar card when you sign up.

Sainsbury's Energy's published tariffs are in my energy comparison, so you can see how Sainsbury's Energy's prices compare with E.ON Next's own and with other suppliers in your region. If you shop at Sainsbury's often, set the points against any difference in price.

To switch, get a quote on its site, choose a tariff and set up your account online. There's also a refer-a-friend scheme.
