Morrisons Deals

If you go online or in some stores to Morrisons*, you can get a selection box of wonky veg for £3.50. Online delivery's from £1 on a minimum order of £40+. See full T&Cs*.

The wonky veg box will include:

• Carrots - approx four (large).
• Onions - approx six (small).
• Potatoes - approx eight (large).
• Parsnips - approx three (large).

It'll also include at least three of a selection of other veg, which could include:

• Cabbage
• Swede
• Cauliflower
• Leeks
• Peppers

We priced up the box based on the included veg plus one cauliflower, swede and a cabbage at Tesco and came to £6.81. However, if you bought the wonky veg from Morrisons plus a swede and a pack of parsnips, it'd cost £3.92.

So you'll save money with this box, but it might be worth picking up the individual packets of wonky veg instead if you like to know what you'll get.

It's worth noting that the wonky veg do not come packed in any plastic, just the cardboard box which can be reused or recycled after you've eaten the vegetables. So, this box is good if you're looking to reduce your purchase of single-use plastics.

If you've a bottle of children's blackcurrant cough syrup in the cupboard, check the label as a precautionary product recall has been issued on eight different brands of medicine, over a problem where one of its ingredients could allow mould to grow.

Any affected products should not be used, and instead returned to the shop where you bought them for a free replacement. Only the following batches with the expiry dates listed below are affected:

Dr Sam Atkinson, spokesperson for the Medicines & Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: "The mould is not always visible, so return any of the affected cough syrup bottles, even if it looks okay to use. If your child has recently taken one of these cough syrups, and, in the unlikely event that they have become unwell or had a reaction, please speak to your GP, pharmacist or other healthcare professional."

No other expiry dates or products are affected. For more info, see the MHRA's website.

If you go in store or online to 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 makes Morrisons veg cheaper than all other major supermarkets - including Aldi and Lidl - but what's available will depend on the season and stock in your local store.

Some examples of wonky veg available include:

• 35p Carrots 1kg* - next cheapest we found, 45p at Tesco.
• 42p Onions 1kg* - next cheapest we found, 59p at Lidl.
• 43p Cabbage* - next cheapest we found, 59p at Tesco.
• 87p Potatoes 2.5kg* - next cheapest we found, £1.18 at Lidl.

It's worth noting that all of these fruit & veg are provided in non-recyclable packaging. If you're looking to reduce your purchase of single-use plastics, Morrisons also sell a Wonky Vegetable box* for £3 which doesn't contain any plastic.

There are always ways to save money at Morrisons* 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.


• Compare the cost of your trolley. Compare the cost of your shopping trolley at the major online supermarkets with MySupermarket*. Prices are often reflected in stores, so it's worth doing a check to see which is cheapest for you.


• Take the Downshift Challenge. The phrasing and language used in shops hypnotises us into thinking the most costly is best. While the packaging looks more opulent, look beneath it sometimes you won't be able to tell the difference (often it's even made in the same factory). Take our Downshift Challenge.


• Track if it's really a bargain. Most of us know just because a supermarket lists an item as "on offer", that doesn't mean it's cheap. The trouble has been sorting awesome offers from poor promos. To help, MySupermarket* charts products' price histories to show if a 'was' price is realistic.


• 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 Morrisons 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 Morrisons, check out our deals from  Asda, Aldi, Tesco, 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.


• Had a problem with Morrisons? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Morrisons*.
