| 0:03.6 | Well, we're always matching and lowering prices. So every week, hundreds of Sainsbury's fresh and everyday products are price match to Aldi. |
| 0:09.7 | And every week, with nectar, you can save money on thousands of your family's favourite brands. |
| 0:14.3 | So your money can go further while you don't have to. |
| 0:16.9 | Looking for ways to save money? Ask Sainsbury's. Sainsbury's, good food for all of us. |
| 0:22.3 | Selected products. Aldi Price Match, not in N-I. Nectar Prices require nectar account. Terms, Sainsbridge. |
