7 days leftNew and existing users of the Lidl Plus app (download via App Store or Google Play) will receive a £2 coupon when spending £100 during November.
If you spend a further £100, bringing your total spend to £200 in November, you'll also receive a £10 coupon. To track the amount spent, scan your virtual Lidl Plus card (within the app) each time you shop.
Important: Until Mon 9 November, Wales is under national lockdown. Supermarkets are open, but many are not selling non-essential items. See our Life-in-lockdown guide for regularly updated information on the rules across the UK.
Once you've reached the spend target, your £2 or £10 coupon should appear automatically in the Coupons section of the app. You can't get change from the coupons, eg, you'll need to spend £2 to use the £2 coupon, and you'll need to use it within seven days of issue at any Lidl store in the UK, excluding Northern Ireland (find your nearest).
See 'More info' below for more information on the app, as well as exclusions.
For more ways to save on the weekly shop, whichever supermarket you frequent, see our supermarket coupons.
-
You must be 18 or over to use this offer.
The qualifying £100 or £200 spend excludes infant formula, and the £2 and £10 coupons can't be used on alcohol or infant formula.
Returns and refunds will be deducted from your running total. Check each coupon for full details.
What's Lidl Plus?
Lidl Plus is Lidl's official rewards app. Not to be confused with the separate 'Lidl' or 'We Are Lidl' app, it can be identified by the icon below. It works in England, Scotland and Wales (but not Northern Ireland, unfortunately) and offers a number of ways you can save a Lidl more on your shopping, including weekly coupons and a chance to win up to £20 off your next shop.
Scan your virtual card at the till or self-service till each time you shop. Spend coupons by loading them onto your virtual card, then scanning your card before paying. You can use more than one coupon at the same time, but Lidl says there may be a limit of six promotional items per customer.

'VeryMe' is a free smartphone app for Vodafone customers - it works a lot like O2 Priority.
If you've got a smartphone on the mobile network Vodafone, you can download a free app called 'VeryMe'.
Register on the app and it'll show you a mix of discounts, freebies, rewards and competitions that change every so often. It works a lot like O2 Priority but is only available to Vodafone customers.
Simply download the app and give it a try, as offers change frequently and it's pretty self-explanatory. See Vodafone support for help if you have any questions.
Examples of what we've seen free in the past include free hot drinks at Greggs or Costa, free wine at Majestic, and free Tesco gift cards.
The idea is then to check the app, swiping through various offers and rewards until you see something you want. Claiming a reward is usually as straightforward as tapping the screen to get a code to show in store.

£1.50 for 5kg of Lidl fruit & veg
Slightly past its best, but still edible - look for boxes in store
In storeAfter a successful trial scheme in a few locations, all Lidl stores in England, Scotland and Wales (find your nearest) are now offering £1.50 boxes containing 5kg of 'edible but not perfect' fruit and veg - slightly past its best, but still safe to eat.
Every day, a limited number of boxes will be available from the time stores open, until midday - when any unsold boxes will be donated to local good causes.
What you'll actually get is completely random, as the 'Too Good to Waste' boxes are made up on the day with whatever fruit and veg is looking past its best in each store. Some will be bruised or battered, while others might have just escaped from their wrapper - in any case, you'll be able to see what you're getting before you buy.
Here's what the boxes may look like in store:
See our blog on Reductions in places you might not expect for how you can save 30% at Lidl, or bag 'yellow-sticker' bargains at B&M, Holland & Barrett and more.

Discount supermarket Aldi offers online purchases of wine by the case. Standard delivery is normally £3, but Aldi has told us the free delivery is an introductory offer, which is not expected to end soon.
Wines Aldi is selling by the case include:
- Prosecco DOC - £29.94 for six bottles (currently £4.99 each)
- Rockstone Ridge Californian Merlot - £26.94 for six bottles (£4.49 each)
Thanks to forumite xeonander for the original spot. -
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:
- 40p Carrots 1kg*
- £1 Potatoes 2.5kg*
It's worth noting that all of these fruit & veg are provided in non-recyclable packaging.

OngoingIf you're a student with an NUS Extra or Totum card, you can get 10% off food and drink (exclusions are listed in 'More info' below) at participating Co-op Food stores.

Superdrug discounts via Health & Beautycard*
Eg, 'Treat Thursday' deals, limited offers, free delivery etc
OngoingIf you regularly shop in Superdrug* either in stores or online, it's worth picking up a free Superdrug Health & Beautycard* as not only can you collect one point per £1 spent for money off future purchases, you can get exclusive deals, too.
Every week it has a special 'Treat Thursday' event, with various deals and offers. Examples of previous discounts we’ve seen include a free bottle of water, free delivery, triple points offers and 10% off all own-brand products.
If you're collecting points, every 100 points is £1 off a future purchase but unlike Boots, you can part-pay with points and then pay the rest with cash, which means you can use your discounts as soon as you've got 100 points.
-
If you have a Boots Advantage Card, you can get personalised offers and discounts at Boots* by downloading the Boots app. The offers vary for each person, as they are tailored to your shopping habits.
How to get the app and offers
- Download the Boots app* via the App Store or Google Play.
- Go to 'My offers' and sign in using your Advantage Card number. This links your card to the app and you can then select offers by loading them onto your card.
- Choose the offers you'd like to use in 'Offers just for me' and select 'Load offer to Advantage Card'.
- Next time you use your Advantage Card, the cashier or self-checkout will ask you if you want to use the offer in that transaction.
What can I get?
These are some examples of offers we've seen when trying the app (of course as the offers are personalised, not everyone will receive the same ones):
- £1.50 off when you spend £15 or more in a single transaction
- 20% off a shower gel or body wash
- 100 points when you buy two or more shampoo or conditioner products
What if I don't have a smartphone?
You can also use the Boots website* to select offers and load them to your Advantage Card. Just register or log-in to view your account and offers.
MSE Forum: Discuss, comment, share other deals
Having trouble printing?
For starters, make sure your printer is on and has enough paper! Many coupons use Adobe Flash Player software to print, so download the latest Flash software.
If you have a pop-up blocker installed on your web browser, disabling it may help. You may be asked to install a coupon software application before the voucher will print; just follow the instructions to do this. Some anti-virus software will flag up the file but it's not malicious - if you're worried you can always delete it after you've printed the coupons you'd like. Some coupons will allow you to bypass the software download by putting in your mobile number to receive a code.
Finally, coupons often work much better in the Internet Explorer (IE) browser than they do in others. So even if you use another browser, like Firefox or Chrome, have a copy of IE just for coupons.
Grab even more coupons
Coupons are everywhere. Root through junk mail, scout around tills, rip them out of magazines - they all add up. Plus keep an eye on the MSE Forum Printable money-off coupons thread.
The Magazine Offers Thread is another excellent resource, where MoneySavers kindly catalogue all coupons and offers in current magazines. If the magazine costs more than the coupon's worth, it's not worth it. But if you were buying your fave glossy anyway, you're quids in.
Newspaper coupons
Newspapers can be a good source of coupons, often worth £2 and up and normally free in newspapers such as The Metro. You can often grab as many papers as you like and use the same coupons again and again (as long as it's on different shopping trips). Check out our Extreme Couponing guide for more information.
If you'd like to check the forum for newspaper coupons, go to the Discount codes ‘n' voucher Forum board and look at the NEWSPAPER SUMMARY thread.
Be careful with in-store magazines
Coupons from supermarkets’ in-store magazines usually only work in that specific store. So a coupon to save £1 on Pampers from the Asda magazine usually won’t work in Tesco.
Ask for a raincheck voucher
If a special offer item is out of stock, many supermarkets will give you a voucher entitling you to the same deal at a later date. Read a full 'how to' in the Supermarket Savings guide.
Warning! Don't sneak through self-scanning machines
Some self-scanning checkouts let you scan multiple coupons, even when you're not buying the relevant products. These machines operate based on trust, so by deliberately using incorrect coupons without permission you could be accused of fraud.
If you want to use coupons, be upfront and give them to the cashier. Then you're being honest, and it's the store's decision whether to allow it.
Warning! Don't print multiple coupons!
You can usually only use one coupon per person, so those found printing out and using multiple coupons in different names or email addresses could be arrested and charged with fraud. Always check the terms and conditions yourself.
Martin's Money Mantras
Before spending
If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.
Skint? Ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
Not skint? 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.
