Here’s a nifty trick, by combining a coupon with a half-price offer in Asda stores, you can bag yourself a free posh soup. Who said there’s no such thing as a free lunch?
We have raved about this soup-er trick in the past and now the offer’s back. Here’s how to get it…
Step 1: Get the coupon
Go to the New Covent Garden Soup Co website and register for the coupon by entering your name and email address. Then you’ll be emailed a link to print a coupon for £1 off any New Covent Garden Soup Co soup valid in store at all major supermarkets.
You can also get a separate coupon for £1 off any New Covent Garden Soup Co soup from signing up to the (free) MyMail coupon website. You’ll have to download coupon printing software for both of these websites (don’t worry – it’s safe) but as the software is different chances are if you can’t get one to work, the other will.
You need to print it off and hand it over at the till – no showing it on your phone, sorry.
New Covent Garden Soup Co says the coupons will be available until Tue 8 Mar, and the MyMail coupons are available until Mon 29 Feb, but they’ve both been pulled early before – so get yours quickly if you want one. Once you print the coupon from New Covent Garden, it’s valid for about 30 days. The MyMail coupon is valid until Mon 29 Feb.
Remember, you can only use one coupon per soup per transaction and it’s one coupon per email address (if you’ve used this trick previously, you should still be able to claim at least one of these coupons).
Step 2: Find some discounted soup
Asda (find your nearest*) currently has a range of 600g flavours reduced to £1 from £2 – so you’d get the soup free using the coupon.
If you’re not near an Asda, Iceland (find your nearest) also has a limited range of 600g flavours for £1.
Keep an eye out for other offers, as these soups are often reduced. If you can pick up a soup which has been reduced to £1, you should get it for free with the coupon.
Even if you can’t find any deals or reductions in your local supermarket, you can use the coupon to get posh soup for £1ish, which is still a decent saving.
Will it definitely work?
We understand that the coupon should be accepted at all major supermarkets and convenience stores that stock the soup, and the trick is working for a lot of people online (and has worked fine previously), so it’s definitely worth a try.
We do hear reports occasionally of checkout staff not accepting coupons, which can be due to error or inexperience. If this happens to you, try asking politely to speak to the manager about the store’s coupon policy.
