Please be Drinkaware.
There are always ways to save money at Co-op*, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs further.
Ways to save include:
Supermarket coupons. Make sure you check out our supermarket coupons page to save on your shopping.
Become a member. You'll have to pay £1 to join, but this gets you lifelong Co-op membership and a rewards card where you can access weekly offers and freebies. There's a free app (from Google Play or Apple Store) which you can use in place of (or alongside) the physical card.
Student? Get 10% off your groceries. Just show your Totum, NUS Apprentice Extra or Young Scot card at the till. A few exclusions apply.
Take the Downshift Challenge. The phrasing and promotional language used in shops hypnotises us into thinking the most costly is best. While the packaging looks more opulent, look beneath to the actual product you're getting and sometimes you won't be able to tell the difference (often it's even made in the same factory). Take our Downshift Challenge.
Time trips right to bag huge yellow sticker discounts. If you spot a yellow sticker discount - fantastic. Grab it and use it quickly as it's a saving on perfectly good nosh. See when Co-op normally reduces its produce in our Cheap Supermarket Shopping guide.
Check out similar retailers, eg, Asda, Sainsbury’s and the other major supermarkets. If you're not committed to buying from Co-op, check out our deals from Asda, Aldi, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Lidl and Waitrose, where they may have a better offer.
Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to find out in which shops hagglers have most success. Supermarkets did feature, so it's worth a go. Find out more in our Haggle on the High Street guide.
How's this for a cheap night-in... Co-op members (it costs £1 to join*) can pick up two Co-op stonebaked pizzas and one tub of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for £5 – a decent deal in itself – but keep your receipt and you can also claim a free £4.99 Amazon Prime Video credit (see below for how to claim). The deal's available in-store until Tuesday 27 August, or while stock lasts.
As the Amazon Prime Video credit is £4.99-worth, you're effectively getting two pizzas and a tub of ice cream for 1p – or £1.01 if you need to factor in the Co-op member joining fee. If you were to buy the items separately, including the Amazon Prime Video credit, it would normally cost £18.39.
If you're not a Co-op member and don't want to sign up, you can get the pizzas and ice cream meal deal for £6, and you won't be eligible for the Prime Video credit.
You'll need to pick up two of the following pizzas and one tub of ice cream to get the £5 deal:
Pizzas (normally £3.95 each):
Co-op Stonebaked Margherita (320g)
Co-op Stonebaked Texan BBQ Chicken (355g)
Co-op Stonebaked Meat Feast (356g)
Co-op Stonebaked Pepperoni (327g)
Ice Cream (normally £5.50 each):
Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food (465ml)
Ben & Jerry’s Choco Fudge Brownie (465ml)
Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra (465ml)
Ben & Jerry’s Sunny Honey Home (465ml)
Ben & Jerry’s Spectaculove (465ml)
Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough (465ml)
You can't get this offer online, or from independent societies, Midcounties, Central England, Southern or Chelmsford Star Co-operatives, Co-op Live concession stores, Co-op franchise stores and non-Co-op branded stores (such as Nisa). See eligible stores.
Keep your Co-op receipt and upload it at this special Co-op Movie link – you'll need to give your name and email address.
Co-op says you'll receive an email with a unique code and link to Amazon's store to redeem the Amazon Prime Video pass (normally £4.99). You'll need to login or register for an Amazon account to access this, though it doesn't need to be a Prime account.
To find your movie, browse the ‘Rent or buy’ section of the Prime Video store and choose a film up to the value of £4.99. If the film cost is above £4.99, you can pay the difference if you want to.
Crucially, you must claim the Prime Video credit within seven days of purchasing your pizzas and ice cream deal, otherwise your claim will be declined. When uploading your receipt, ensure the date of purchase, store bought from, and member ID are clearly visible.
You'll be notified within 24 hours if your claim has been rejected or accepted. This offer is limited to one claim per person, per receipt.
Flick through our supermarket coupons round-up for more ways to whittle down the weekly shopping cost.
What do I do if I lose my receipt?
As per Co-op’s terms and conditions – customers are responsible to keep their receipt stored safely, until they have decided to activate the gift voucher. Co-op and Amazon are not responsible for incomplete, misdirected, illegible, corrupted, lost, damaged or delayed receipt uploads. If a receipt has been lost and if they wish to do so, customers can go back to the Co-op store which they purchased the deal, and ask a Member of staff if they are able to track the purchase on the tills and print off a receipt.
