Save on shopping with freebies & discounts for groceries and more
Coupons are said to have been around since the 1800s (the first one issued by Coca-Cola) and for years savvy shoppers have been clipping coupons, and later on, printing them off the web – but today, it's more about apps, codes and cashback. Do couponing the right way and you'll bag groceries for free or a fraction of the normal cost. This guide shows the top coupons available now, plus how to find even more.

Full list of top supermarket coupons & discounts
This is our regularly updated list of the top coupons and cashback available in supermarkets. It's up to individual stores whether to accept any coupons, so don't make a special trip, and if using cashback, be sure to check you're picking up the correct product.
Food coupons
Via cashback. Get from Morrisons or Sainsbury's
If you buy a pack of Boursin Blue Cheese Flavour soft cheese at Morrisons or Sainsbury's, you can get up to £3.10 back – paid into a PayPal or bank account – via marketing platform Hashting. When we checked, it was £2.95 at Sainsbury's and £3 at Morrisons, so after cashback, the item will be free.
To claim, go online to Hashting (it's best viewed on a mobile), and you'll be sent another link via text message. After you've bought the product, you'll need to take a photo of your itemised receipt as proof of purchase to be able to get your cashback. You'll only get cashback for the amount you paid, up to £3.10.

This offer will end at 11.59pm on Friday 19 December, or more likely when 2,645 redemptions have been made. Each household can apply for cashback once.
Hashting says you should receive your cashback within 30 working days – see full terms and conditions (links to a PDF).
More info
What is Hashting? It describes itself as something like an 'app-less' cashback app, as all the links and information you'll need to claim is sent to you via text message or WhatsApp, so unlike apps such as Shopmium, Topcashback, or Quidco, you don't need to join up.
Via Shopmium cashback app. Valid from Tesco & Morrisons
Product: Ristorante Gluten Free Pepperoni-Salame pizza 332g
Buy from: Tesco or Morrisons (normally £3.80)

End date: 11.59pm on Tuesday 23 December (subject to change, so check link above)
You won't receive your cashback immediately – you can only request it once you've accumulated £10 in cashback via Shopmium, so bear in mind it could take a while to get the saving back, as you'll need to earn cashback on multiple items before you can withdraw it.
More info
Check the app before you buy to ensure you've been offered the deal, and don't buy unless it's something you'd use anyway. It's worth going quickly if it's something you want, as we've seen offers like this finish early.

Drinks coupons
Via cashback. Get item from a Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Co-op store in England only
If you buy a four-pack of 440ml Strongbow strawberry cider at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Co-op in England, you can get up to £6 back, paid into a PayPal or bank account – make sure you keep your itemised receipt. This freebie is being promoted by Heineken (owners of Strongbow) via marketing platform Hashting.
When we checked, a pack was £5.75 at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, making the item free after cashback. At Co-op, it was £6.25, so it would be 25p after cashback. You'll only get back the amount you paid, up to £6.
To claim, go online to Hashting (it's best viewed on a mobile), and select 'Click here for your free cider'. You'll be sent another link (valid for seven days) to claim via WhatsApp, or if you'd prefer, sent via text message – so you'll have to give your mobile number if you don't use WhatsApp. After you've bought the product, you'll need to take a photo of your receipt and upload it as proof of purchase.

This offer will end at 11.59pm on Wednesday 31 December or when 7,500 redemptions have been made (the promotion launched on 1 November). Each household can apply for cashback once. Hashting says you should receive your cashback within 30 working days – see full terms and conditions.

Baby coupons
Click & post coupon via Netmums. Collect in-store at Aldi
If you go via this Netmums link, you can get a voucher for a free full-size pack of 24 Mamia 'Newborn Premium Dry Fast' nappies (normally 85p) which you can redeem in-store at Aldi, while stock lasts.
The nappies come in a 'Size 1', which Aldi says fits babies weighing between 4-11lbs (2-5kg). Netmums says the coupon will be posted within two weeks.
If you're looking for ways to budget for your baby, see our 40+ tips and tricks to save with a baby or toddler.
More info
How to get this freebie
Simply fill out the Netmums online form with your name, address and email – Netmums says the voucher will be posted to you within two weeks.
It's one pack per person (but a parent and grandparent could each do it), and once you’ve received your voucher, show it at the checkout in any Aldi store (find your nearest). We can’t guarantee your local will have the nappies in stock so it’s best to do it as part of a bigger shop rather than making a special trip. You'll have until 31 March 2024 to use the voucher.
If you haven't received your voucher within two weeks, email producttrials@netmums.com. Netmums has confirmed your data is only shared with a third party fulfilment company so it can send your voucher, and won’t be used for any other purpose.
What is Netmums?
Netmums is an online community for parents. Its site includes a range of topics and content including recipes, product reviews, courses, a newsletter and a forum known as 'Coffee House', to share advice and get support from others going through the same experience.
Click & print coupons for nappies, plus other freebies
If you sign up to Pampers Squad, you could get coupons for money off nappies – we've previously seen £2 off coupons emailed to members – as well as the opportunity to test Pampers products for free.
Click & post coupons for baby food, plus other freebies
If you sign up to Ella's kitchen baby club, you could get coupons for free baby food, wallcharts and stickers.

Slightly past its best, but still edible. In stores nationwide, excluding Northern Ireland
If you head into a Lidl store (find your nearest), you can pick up a 5kg 'Waste Not' box of fruit and vegetables for £2, while stock lasts. The boxes contain 'edible but not perfect' fruit and veg, which are slightly past its best, but still safe to eat. This is currently an ongoing offer with no end date, but we'll update here if that changes.
These are available in stores in England, Scotland, and Wales, and found near the checkout area. They're subject to availability, so if you want one you'll need to be quick as there are only a limited number of boxes available each day. Lidl says any unsold boxes will be donated to local good causes.
What you'll actually get is completely random, as the boxes are made up on the day with whatever fruit and veg is looking past its best in each store. Some could be damaged or discoloured, but you'll be able to see what you're getting before you buy.


A box we spotted in Aug 2023 in a London branch of Lidl
To give you a rough idea of how much of a saving you could make, when we picked up a box to check this deal out, we got:
-
One 250g punnet of raspberries – normally £2.99
-
Two bananas – normally 37p for two (£0.78/kg)
-
Five apples – normally 89p for a five-pack (17p each)
-
13 satsumas – normally 95p for a 500g bag (£1.90/kg)
-
Two pears – normally 95p for a 550g bag (£1.72/kg)
-
One 500g pack of leeks – normally 69p for a 500g pack (£1.38/kg)
-
Two aubergines – normally 69p each
-
Three lettuce – normally 69p for a two-pack (34p for one)
-
13 potatoes – normally 91p for a 2.5kg bag (36p/kg)
-
One punnet of black grapes – normally £1.09

Based on the price of each individual item in the box, we've calculated that it would cost over £10 to buy it all separately – so buying a box for £2 really does save a bunch.

In larger stores only
If you're visiting a larger Sainsbury's store (find your nearest), you may be able to pick up a 'Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me’ box of surplus fruit and veg for £2, while stock lasts. The boxes contain fresh fruit and vegetables that would have otherwise gone to waste.
Sainsbury's says the boxes are a permanent feature, though they will be subject to availability. Look out for them in larger stores, rather than Locals (and you can't get them online).
If boxes are available, they'll be in the fresh produce aisle. What you'll get is completely random, though Sainsbury's says typical contents could include: apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, courgettes, oranges, peppers, plums, red cabbage, and swede.

To give you a rough idea of how much of a saving you could make, we've made some calculations based on the products mentioned above:
-
One pack apples (six in pack) – normally 99p (17p each)
-
One pack Fairtrade bananas (five in a pack) – normally 78p (16p each)
-
One loose broccoli – around 72p (depending on weight)
-
One loose cauliflower – normally £1.19
-
One pack courgettes (500g) – normally £1.45
-
Loose orange – normally 30p
-
Loose red pepper – normally 69p
-
One punnet of plums (400g) – normally £1.29
-
Loose red cabbage – normally 75p
-
Loose swede – normally 62p
Based on the price of each individual item in the box, we've calculated it would cost about £9 to buy it all separately – so we reckon buying a box for £2 is a good deal.

Often includes potatoes, carrots, peas & more
If you go in-store or online at Morrisons, you can get selected vegetables and fruit branded 'wonky', which may be slightly irregular in shape or appearance, but totally fine to eat.
In most cases, it's the cheapest way to eat fresh at Morrisons, and means it's often priced competitively against other major supermarkets. What's available will depend on the season and stock in your local store.
Product | 'Wonky' price | 'Standard' price | Cheapest alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
Morrisons Wonky Carrots, 1kg | 53p | 69p | 53p at Sainsbury's |
Morrisons Wonky Peas, 900g | £1.09 | £1.45 (for 1kg) | £1.09 at Sainsbury's & Tesco |
Morrisons Wonky Pears (min four) | £1.17 | £1.55 | 99p at Asda, Tesco & Sainsbury's (more than four) |
Morrisons Wonky Potatoes, 2kg | £1.35 | £1.55 | £1.35 at Sainsbury's & Asda |
The cheapest alternative price is based on online supermarkets – so doesn't include Aldi and Lidl. Prices may differ based on your location.
Be aware that wonky doesn't always mean cheaper. When we checked, you could get a bag of 15 apples for £2.50, but only four 'wonky' apples for £1.19.
Often includes potatoes, carrots, apples & more
If you go in-store or online at Waitrose, you can get selected vegetables and fruit branded 'wonky', which may be slightly irregular in shape or appearance, but totally fine to eat.
What's available will depend on the season and stock in your local store. Here's what we found at one Waitrose store:
Product | 'Wonky' price | 'Standard' price | Cheapest alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
Waitrose Wonky Carrots, 1.5kg | 90p (60p per kg) | 70p (70p per kg) | 53p per kg at Sainsbury's & Morrisons |
Waitrose Wonky Potatoes, 3kg | £1.70 (56.7p per kg) | £1.80 (72p per kg) | 67.5p per kg at Asda & Sainsbury's |
Waitrose Wonky Apples, six-pack | £1.70 (28p each) | £1.80 (30p each) | 99p (17p each) at Sainsbury's |
The cheapest alternative price is based on online supermarkets, so doesn't include Aldi and Lidl. Prices may differ based on your location.
Although Waitrose is rarely the most MoneySaving supermarket, if you're shopping there anyway, its wonky fruit and vegetables are a great option for healthy eating.
Includes a main, side, starter or dessert
If you fancy a pizza, but want to save your dough, this M&S meal deal could be one for you.
Go into an M&S (find your nearest*) and you can pick up its £12 Pizza Night dine-in meal deal which includes two pizzas and two sides. M&S says this'll feed four. This is an on-going offer with no end date. A pizza would usually cost £6 by itself, so with another and two sides, we think this is good value.
What's on the menu?
The M&S website* lists 11 pizzas and 14 sides to to mix and match as you wish (subject to availability). A few highlights we spotted on the menu include:
Pizzas 🍕
-
Stonebaked smoky BBQ chicken
-
Stonebaked feta and caramelised onion
-
Plant Kitchen stonebaked vegan three cheese
Sides 🥦
-
Chicken munchies
-
Dirty fries
-
Garlic doughballs

When you spend up to £250 in a calendar month
New and existing users of the Lidl Plus app (download via App Store or Google Play) in England, Wales and Scotland will receive a 10% off voucher when spending £250 in a calendar month – up to a maximum of £20. If you spend £100 in a month, Lidl told us you will qualify for a free own-brand item, and then again if you spend £150.
Lidl Plus is also available in Northern Ireland, but tends to have different offers.
As well as money-off coupons, you can claim a free in-store bakery item when you've spent at least £10 in a month. To track the amount spent, scan your virtual Lidl Plus card (within the app) each time you shop. Of course, this shouldn't be an excuse to overspend, but it could be a nice bonus when doing your normal shopping anyway.
Once you've reached the spend target, your coupons should appear automatically in the Coupons section of the app. You can't get change from the coupons, and you'll need to use them within seven days of issue at any Lidl store in the UK (find your nearest).
The qualifying spend excludes infant formula, and coupons can't be used on alcohol or infant formula.

What else you can get from the app – 20% off in-store bakery items and weekly coupons
Check the 'Coupons' section of the Lidl Plus app weekly for extra offers. You can get 20% off all in-store bakery items on Monday to Saturday (excluding bank holidays) from 7pm until closing time.
Every Thursday, you'll be offered a different selection of item-specific coupons valid for one week. When we checked, you could get 20% off cookies and 15% off salted nuts, bacon and stonebaked pizzas.
The Lidl Plus app for Northern Ireland customers
To use the app, select Northern Ireland when signing up. Each week, the app will have 10 coupons for selected products, usually up to 33% off. MoneySaver Glenda K told us she's previously seen 33% off organic honey, 30% off smoked bacon and 25% off ground coffee.

Scan your virtual card at the till or self-service till each time you shop. Spend coupons by loading them onto your virtual card, then scanning your card before paying. You can use more than one coupon at the same time, but Lidl says there may be a limit of six promotional items per customer.
For more ways to save on the weekly shop, whichever supermarket you frequent, see our supermarket coupons.
Every day with its loyalty card when you bring your own cup
If you sign up for a myWaitrose loyalty card - you can get a free regular-sized tea or coffee in-store every day from the self-serve machine, when you use your own reusable cup in selected stores. You can choose from americano, cappuccino, latte or tea.
If you haven't got one already, you'll receive your physical myWaitrose loyalty card within five weeks of signing up via the link above. Alternatively, you can download a myWaitrose card via the app (free in the App Store or Google Play).
Simply swipe your card at the till – you can then go and get your free drink using your reusable cup. You need to scan your loyalty card in order to use the machine and redeem your drink.

Why do I have to provide my own cup? Waitrose used to hand out disposable coffee cups for this freebie, but in 2018 it stopped this for environmental reasons (see our Waitrose ditches disposable cups MSE News story). For where else you can save with a reusable cup, see our own-cup discounts blog.

How to find more coupons and how to max them
While it is still possible to clip coupons out of a magazine or newspaper, there are now fewer of these coupons available. Like many things, couponing has largely gone digital and most of the savings you can bag these days will be via your phone or online.
There are hundreds of coupons and cashback deals out there, so the info below will help you to find them. However, we regularly update the very best in the supermarket coupons round-up above.
Any true couponer will have a purse, wallet or phone full of stamp cards and loyalty cards/apps. Some give points on your normal shopping which can then be turned into vouchers, and others offer personalised coupons which are usually for items you frequently buy or it thinks you'll be interested in based on your previous purchases.
Some of the best loyalty schemes for coupons and perks:
Up to 30% off items you frequently buy at Sainsbury's. Nectar card-holders using the Sainsbury's SmartShop app can scan items as they shop in-store, and it'll automatically trigger deals of up to 30% off on selected products you regularly buy. If you don't have a smartphone, you can get the offers when you use in-store scanners, and this all on top of normal Nectar perks. However, you can't get these deals when shopping online. Check the Nectar app to see what automatic coupons you've been offered and how long they're valid for – you can use them multiple times before the expiry date. Our Nectar tips & tricks guide has more ways to earn points and boost your stash.
Turn Clubcard points into vouchers to spend at Tesco, or exchange for 2x value for days out and more. You'll get Clubcard statements quarterly, which will change your points to a voucher. You can exchange the vouchers for other rewards, or use them to take their value off your shopping online or in stores. See Reclaim & boost Clubcard vouchers for more info.
Bag Boots Advantage bonus points. Pick up a free magazine in-store monthly, and it may include coupons for money off, but most often it's additional points when you buy a product. Sometimes you'll be able to get a freebie though, so it's worth picking up. You can also get extra points by loading offers from the Boots App to your Boots Advantage card before you shop. Check out our Boots Advantage Card tips & tricks for more info.
The Pets at Home VIP card gets you coupons in the post to spend online or in-store on products your pet likes. You set up the account online, telling it which kind of pet you have, so you won't receive coupons for dog food if your furry friend is feline. These offers are often stackable, and Ex-MSE Rhiannon was previously been sent a code for a free pack of cat treats for her cat's birthday, plus £3 off a £20 spend.
Online shopping has become increasingly popular since the start of the coronavirus pandemic so if you're doing an online shop, have a look for codes that can get you money off, or even a freebie.

Sainsbury's frequently offers selected products for free via codes as part of an online shop, which you can find at its little-known Freebies & Competitions page. Some examples over the last year include 'free' £2.85 Tampax, 'free' £2.75 Yeo Valley yogurt, and 'free' £1.65 Dentastix dog treats.

Tesco is another that often gives online coupons on selected products when doing an online shop. Some examples in the last year include £4 off a £12 spend on frozen food such as Birds Eye and Ben & Jerry's, and £5 off a £15 spend on cleaning/laundry items such as Persil and Dettol. We add these when we spot them to our Coupons round-up above.

Iceland online shoppers should also look out for codes on selected products or categories. For example, it's previously offered an online shopping code for free fruit or vegetables (up to £3-worth).
There are online auction sites full of photocopied high-value coupons which may have been originally obtained legitimately, but are now being sold as fakes.
You might think you're not hurting anyone by using them, but the best case scenario is you'll be turned away. Worst case scenario? You could be prosecuted for fraud.
'Stacking' is cleverly combining offers, such as a coupon and an in-store deal, to save even more. Not all retailers and coupons allow stacking, and sometimes it's a temporary glitch. The general key to this is to use a manufacturer's coupon alongside an in-store offer or coupon.
Here are some of the ways you can stack coupons to make a bigger saving:
Combine coupons with store sales. It’s all well and good using a 50p off coupon for a £2 product, but if you wait for that same product to go on sale at half-price (£1) and then use the 50p off coupon, you’re only paying 50p and essentially getting 75% off. Each of the major supermarkets have a sale on a specific item on average every two weeks. Most coupons last for a month, so if you hold out for a deal you could save a lot more.
Combine coupons with cashback. If a company is launching a new product it will sometimes offer a coupon for it and also appear in one of the cashback apps we told you about above. Providing both are for the same product, you may be able to use the coupon and get cashback as well, but it's important to check T&Cs as some apps won't always allow you to do this.
Use coupons on yellow-stickered items. The reduced section is where items which are broken, being discontinued or nearing their sell-by date are being sold at a fraction of the price. They'll probably have a sticker on them (usually yellow or orange/white) and there may be a few different reduced sections (especially for refrigerated items). If you can match a coupon to an item here, you could pocket a bargain (providing it is still edible). Check out our guide to yellow stickers.
Sign up to loyalty schemes for bonus offers, and some give personalised product discounts
Check for online codes/coupons on selected products at the big supermarkets
DON'T buy coupons, with the exception of purchasing a product, magazine or newspaper with the coupon inside
Stack coupons with other offers for super savings – works better with physical coupons
Popular coupon Q&As
Now you know how to find coupons, check our top tips for using them most effectively so you can maximise your savings. Some of the tips here can involve a bit of planning or be time-consuming, so these might not all be for everyone – but MoneySavers have previously managed to get £50+ shops for pennies, or even be PAID to shop using these methods.
Coupons will all have specific terms and conditions, and while reading T&Cs is never fun, it's important to check them to understand what you can and can't do with a coupon or cashback offer.
Some cashback sites and credit cards will offer cashback for a specific supermarket for a limited time, so you can get money back on any products you have a coupon or cashback for and a percentage or amount back on the total spend of your shop.
For example, when we checked, Topcashback* was offering up to £8.50 cashback on Sainsbury's online grocery orders over £40 and up to 12% on Iceland online orders. See our Top cashback sites guides.
Some Amex cardholders have previously been able to get 10% cashback on Morrisons spends over £30 and 5% cashback at Waitrose on £20 or more spends.
Normally we encourage downshifting – going for a brand level lower than you usually would – in order to save money. But sometimes a higher value coupon can make a more premium brand cheaper than a basic/own-brand.
For example, if your usual basic brand soy milk is 55p a litre, but you've a coupon for £1.50 off a new premium brand that normally costs £1.70/litre then it's worth a go, as you'll only spend 20p after the coupon.
As a coupon aficionado, you can often end up in the slightly embarrassing situation of knowing couponing rules better than shop assistants. Coupon policies differ by supermarket, and sometimes by offer too, so to be fair to shop workers it can be very difficult to know exactly what is allowed. To help, we've asked all the major supermarkets for their coupon policies.
The policies below set out the rules at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Lidl, Co-op, and Waitrose – they come directly from the companies' press offices.
Aldi isn't in the list as it doesn't currently accept coupons (though it does accept Free School Meal vouchers).
Make no mistake... companies don't offer coupons or cashback out of the goodness of their hearts. It's all part of their money-making marketing strategy, with the aim of selling more of an item, often a new product.
Of course, when you're shopping in a supermarket you're usually buying stuff you need, but nevertheless, remember the Money Mantras and don't overspend or get something you don't need just because you have a coupon.
If you think you'll use it or want to try a new version of what you already use, then it could be worth it, however, if you buy it just because you have a coupon and then don't use it, then it's not really saving you money.
Skilled couponers have a number in their head of what's a good price for products they usually buy, so any coupon which brings a new brand or new version down to less than this price dictates what they buy.
As well as using coupons on selected products, see if you can get cashback for your WHOLE shop too
Go up a brand level if your coupon makes it cheaper than your usual brand
Know supermarkets' coupon policies – see our store-by-store Q&A
Do you need it? Will you use it? If the answer's no, don't buy it, even with a coupon
Having trouble printing a coupon?
For starters, make sure your printer is on and has enough paper.
If you have a pop-up blocker installed on your web browser, disabling it may help. You may be asked to install a coupon software application before the voucher will print; just follow the instructions to do this. Some anti-virus software will flag up the file but it's not malicious - if you're worried you can always delete it after you've printed the coupons you'd like. Some coupons will allow you to bypass the software download by putting in your mobile number to receive a code.
