You get vouchers when you pay, and take them home. Then you leave them there forgetting them on your next shopping trip. they should give them out when you first arrive at the store.
Anyway they're for stuff you're not gonna want before the valid date runs out.
Does anybody actually get anything from them?

The vouchers are given in connection with Nectar. They see what you've bought in the past and may buy again, or stuff you may like dependant on stuff you have bought in the past, and issue vouchers based on this. As said, sometimes you get a voucher for something you aren't going to buy soon, but this is to try and entice you into buying it as you get a discount/extra Nectar points, therefore lining Mr Sainsbury's pockets more.
The other vouchers are the brand match ones, which give you money off your next shop if your branded products in a shop over £20 were more expensive in JS than in Asda or Tesco, and tell you if you've saved if it was cheaper than the others.
In a word, they're good if you spend a lot and don't mind buying the odd thing you're not likely to normally buy.
Are you in a union fighting for at least £15 per hour for the lowest paid Sainsburys worker, or does Mr Sainsbury have swanky villas and such like all over the place?

Put it this way....my £300 bonus this year for doing a lot equivilates to around £1m for the chief executive for sitting in his office.
I shop almost exclusively at ASDA. They have a 10% Cheaper scheme going on where they give you a voucher if your shopping is not cheaper by at least 10% than their nearest rival. I've had vouchers of varying amounts up to about a fiver. You have to check it online and print out the voucher. They very occasionally do other offers, but they don't have any of that Clubcard or Nectar nonsense, which is way too complicated for me to bother with.
The New Eltham butchers are excellent. BBQ bits I bought on Saturday were excellent (minted lamb kebabs were the business).
Used to use Sainsburys found it too expensive and use the hideous Tesco now.
always do our main shopping there, and get loads of offers
£10 off next £80 shop etc, always get tailored discount vouchers such as nappies and baby products etc.
Also you can use your vouchers on days out - got 3 tickets to Longleat for 24quid rather than 27.50 each, half price entry to Sea Life etc etc.
By the way falconwood_1 I also use a butchers near New Eltham in main road going towards Sidcup is that the same one? Noticed the quality is a bit lower these days and he is a real miserable git at times but can recommend Sparkes at The Standard fantastic butchers, now all we need is a decent fishmongers.
I think there are loads of haddicks down Sparrow Lane.
Perception is they are more expensive but personally I don't think they are and I find the quality of there food is much better.
You could travel around all the supermarkets and find items cheaper in one or another.
We keep my Nectar points for Christmas and usually have over £100 so basically a free shop.
The vouchers also come in handy adding to the points plus some money off.
In the end everybody makes their own choice.
Price comparison websites are handy too (if you use them for insurance, why not your weekly shop??) and Asda regularly comes out cheapest - also they have the most effective loyalty scheme IMO in that the vouchers they give you are simply money off your next shop not vouchers aimed at you buying a particular product. If you buy 8 items or more you can use their Price Guarantee website and if they're not 10% cheaper than anyone else on that day you get the difference back.
