Sainsbury's has slashed the price of fuel by 10p for bank holiday weekend

With August bank holiday fast approaching, you've most probably started coming up with plans to make the most of your time off.

If you'll be heading off for a trip somewhere, Sainsbury's has come up with the perfect offer, as the supermarket is giving shoppers 10p off every litre of petrol and diesel bought over the weekend.

To redeem the deal you'll need to purchase £60-worth of groceries in-store or online between 22-27 August.

Once you've done this you'll be given a voucher which gives you 10p off every litre of fuel bought in one of Sainsbury's 306 petrol stations across the UK.

Included in the offer is unleaded petrol, super unleaded petrol, diesel and LPG, and you can top your car up with a maximum of 100 litres.

The voucher can't be used if you're doing pay @ pump, so that's something to bear in mind.

Even better news is that you'll be able to collect nectar points during the promotion.

Tips for saving petrol

In a statement about the offer, David Pegg, Buying Manager for Sainsbury's said: "To celebrate the August Bank Holiday weekend we’re offering customers 10p per litre off fuel when they spend £60 or more on groceries at a Sainsbury’s supermarket or online.

"Whatever customers have planned for the long weekend, we hope this offer will put money back in their pockets and help them enjoy the summer.”

According to fuel comparison site petrolprices.com , the cheapest Sainsbury's unleaded petrol can currently be found in the Leigh branch, where a litre costs 121.9p. This is closely followed by the Oldham and Westhoughton stores, where a litre of unleaded costs 122.9p.

Oldham's Sainsbury's tops the table for the location with the cheapest diesel, alongside the Ashton Moss and Leigh stores, where a litre costs 125.9p.

Leigh also comes out on top for super-unleaded, costing 127.9p per litre.
