- 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.

Ongoing
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. 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:

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.
