If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

If you're a student with a Totum, NUS Apprentice Extra or Young Scot card, you can get 10% off food and drink (exclusions are listed in 'More info' below) at participating Co-op Food stores*.
To get the discount, you'll also need to be a Co-op member – if you aren't already, it costs £1 to join*. Scan your Co-op membership card (or QR code in the app) and your applicable student discount card. Not all stores accept NUS Extra/Totum – check if your local store* is participating.
Co-ops are convenience stores, so it won't always be as cheap as the supermarket giants, however you'll often find some really good offers – especially if you combine them with coupons.

OngoingThere 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. As well as being able to access weekly offers and freebies, you'll earn 2p for every £1 you spend on Co-op own-brand items. A further 2p per £1 is donated to good causes across the UK, which you can choose from a list. 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.
- Supermarket coupons. Make sure you check out our supermarket coupons page to save on your shopping.

A dozen red roses from £3.99
Our round-up of prices at major supermarkets
ExpiredOver-commercialised spending is one of our bugbears – you should never feel the pressure to buy stuff just because the calendar tells you it's Valentine's Day. But if you are planning to mark it with red roses, make sure you're not paying over the odds. Bunches of 12 start from £3.99 at supermarkets, but in the past stores have engaged in the 'war of the roses' and cut prices even further on the day itself.
If you're interested in couriered roses from £25 instead, be aware that the closer we get to Valentine's Day, the more chance there is of falling foul of delivery delays. (Plus, you'll spend at least five times what you'd pay for a supermarket bunch.)
We'll update the below list as we get confirmation of this year's pricing from more retailers:
Supermarket Price and available date Aldi
(find your nearest)£3.99 for 12 red roses
Available from Saturday 11 FebruaryLidl

Available from Friday 10 February
Expect short-stemmed standard roses unless we've specified otherwise – we've not included any premium ranges. The cost of roses can shoot up if they are long-stemmed, or ethically/locally sourced. If you want more bang for your buck, consider alternatives such as tulips.
How to jazz up a £4 bunch
With a bit of creative flair, you can make a £4 bunch of supermarket roses look a lot more expensive for next to nothing. Wrap them in some attractive paper (no need to spend more than £1), attach a self-penned poem (get some inspiration from Google) and you're sure to be in your loved one's good books.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How this site is financed.

4 September 2023![]()
The 2023 academic year is about to start, and it'll see the biggest shake-up to student finance in England for a decade. The changes are both subtle and massive. On the surface they look like a tweak, in practice they will increase the eventual cost of going to university by over 50% for many typical graduates.
