Sainsbury’s has increased the price of come of its home shopping deliveries. The cost of an annual midweek delivery pass - which allows you to have groceries delivered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, has increased from £30 to £40 for a year.
The cost of an anytime delivery pass - which allows you up to one grocery delivery every day has increased from £60 to £80, reports The Mirror. Sainsbury's has also increased the price of its six-month "anytime delivery pass" from £35 to £40.
In another change, the supermarket has stopped selling three-month delivery passes and has replaced them with monthly passes. These cost £7.50 for the monthly "anytime delivery pass" and £4 for the monthly "midweek delivery pass".
The three-month "anytime delivery pass" cost £20 while the three-month "midweek delivery pass" was priced at £10. It comes as researchers at Kantar have warned the average food bill could rise by £271 this year.
Kantar suggests grocery prices were 5.9% higher in April than a year ago - marking the biggest increase since December 2011. A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “Last year we updated our online groceries services so that we can offer simpler, more flexible ways to shop with us, while still offering great value.”
Shoppers have to spend a minimum of £40 when ordering for home delivery from Sainsbury’s using a delivery pass. For customers that don't have a delivery pass, Sainsbury's charges between £1 and £4.50 depending on the time you want your shop delivered.
Orders under £40 are charged £7 for standard delivery. Customers who don't have a delivery pass must spend a minimum of £25.
