Mobile and printable coupons UK – where to find supermarket vouchers to get money off

Supermarket vouchers and printable coupons can and will knock money off your shop and get you free food. Here’s where to find them in the UK.

Reducing the cost of your supermarket spend can be easy enough using meal planning, shopping for own-branded goods, cooking from scratch, and bulk cooking/freezing.

In fact, it’s this routine (as well as a few other things…) that we managed to cut our food shop bill in half a few years back.

While I’ve confessed to not being a super-fan of extreme couponing in the past (as you can make savings just as easily in other ways), I will certainly NEVER turn down a coupon and will actively use them.

What kind of coupons are there?

Supermarket coupons and vouchers come in different formats.

The most common used to be paper printable coupons which get scanned at the till and retained by the cashier (although some of them do have multiple uses). Coupons will either be pre-printed or you’ll need to print them out yourself.

While you can still get them in paper form, money off vouchers for supermarkets and food via mobile apps is becoming a lot more popular.

You can also get coupons online which you can use for online stores, as well as using vouchers and offers from different smartphone apps.

Lastly, although not exactly coupons, you can also sign up for company newsletters to access a load of birthday freebies which will see you receive vouchers and money off offers.

Can I coupon in the UK?

It’s a whole lot of YES – you can effectively save money on your shop using food coupons.

However, don’t expect to save as much as the extreme couponers you see in America.

Where can I find supermarket vouchers?

Thing is, collecting coupons in the first place is the hardest part. Hunting them down can be troublesome if you don’t know where to look.

There’s no need to worry, though. We’ve put together the best places to hunt out supermarket coupons and start making savings.

Whether you want to be an extreme couponer or not, using coupons here and there will surely reduce your supermarket spend.

Lidl supermarket coupons

There are two ways to get money off with Lidl.

Download the Lidl Plus app, and you get access to money off coupons each week. You need to activate the coupons before you reach the checkout.

If a new store opens near you, you’ll receive the Lidl Welcome Card with coupons for money off food.

Farmfoods

If you’re a Farmfoods fan, then you better be getting a discount on each shop.

Rather than having coupons for individual items, you are able to print off and use vouchers to get £2.50 off a £25 spend or £5 off a £50 spend.

Here’s more info on Farmfoods vouchers and their offers.

Co-op

Using the Co-op app, you can access money off coupons to use directly in store.

The free coupons change each week and are for fruit, vegetables, dairy, and bakery products.

Smartphone apps

Do you own a smartphone? Are you using it to save money, play games, or send the occasional text?

There are LOADS of apps out there designed to help you save money!

Shopmium

Download the Shopmium app for free. Use the code KMMMFMAT when you sign up and you’ll get a coupon for a free bag of Dairy Milk Buttons after cashback.

As an added bonus, you’ll get a free box of Celebrations chocolate worth £3 as a birthday treat. 

CheckoutSmart

When it comes to saving on food, you can download apps like CheckoutSmart and earn cashback on items you’ve bought.

You can also use this at the same time as using a coupon, so you could be seeing double savings.

Mobile phone providers

Then you have apps like o2 Priority Moments, which give away a fair few freebies. They’re not all supermarket-based, but who’ll turn down a freebie?!

Vodaphone VeryMe also offers freebies on food.

Check out these money making apps to earn you easy cash!

Sainsbury’s money off vouchers

If you shop online with Sainsbury’s, you can get access to ecoupons to save money on your shop.

Here’s more information about Sainsbury’s freebies.

Supermarket magazines

Once you’ve finished your shop, head to the store and pick up their free magazine (or go just for it!).

As well as getting tips on yummy recipes etc, they also often add coupons you can clip out to make a saving.

You can also read online versions of the magazines, but they usually only accept printed copies.

National press

From time to time, the national dailies have supermarket coupons you can take to make a decent saving on your shop.

Lidl often offers £5 off a £40 spend, and Morrisons has previously offered £5 off fruit and veg.

These offers are popular so the papers sell out!

You may not be a fan of the paper, but spending 40p to get £5 off is a decent investment.

Direct from brands

Write to companies and tell them you love their products (don’t complain unless it’s real). You may be sent a voucher. Try to find email addresses so you don’t spend a small fortune on stamps, though!

Also, remember that some brands are owned by the same company (look at all the P&G brands above), so don’t write to the same company too often, as it will come across as spammy.

As well as writing, you can just get quite a few coupons directly from a brand’s website.

Pampers have vouchers for money off nappies most of the time, and John West keep coupons on their site for a while too.

Other brands put out coupons for a shorter amount of time. You’ll need to have a bit of a Google to find them.

In stores

Whether hung off the side of a shelf (keep your eyes peeled as you walk up and down the aisles) or there is someone offering samples (and maybe a coupon), you can find a discount voucher when you least expect it.

They may be for newly launched items rather than food that you’d eat all the time, so it could be a gamble to spend money on something you might not enjoy.

On the pack

Usually printed just inside the box (but it tells you from the outside), there is a money off voucher printed on the inside of some products.

Popular offers in the past included pizzas and tea, so keep a lookout while you’re walking around the store.

Having a baby?

Congratulations! You’re going to get discount coupons!

There are all sorts of freebies, and supermarket coupons headed your way if you’re expecting.

Whether it’s Emma’s Dairy or the Bounty box you receive while in hospital, you’ll get coupons for all sorts of free baby-related products.

Loyalty cardholders

Millions of us up and down the country have a loyalty card (or 10!) in our pockets. If you don’t have one, you could be missing out.

Whether it’s for a supermarket or your favourite High Street clothes shop – reward cardholders are always the first to know about promotions and sales.

In addition to collecting points to redeem and make savings later, they often send vouchers for money off food.

Social media

Search out your favourite brands on social media and like their pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. If they’ve got a newsletter, then definitely sign up for that as well.

You do this because brands have been known to give special offers to people who are their fans, so you could be missing out.

This is one way we get free perfume and aftershave samples. After interacting with a page on Facebook, a promotional post appears asking if you’d like a sample.

Amazon vouchers

Grocery shopping on Amazon? Yep! That’s right! As well as food, you’re able to get loads of household products and toiletries.

This is where you can see some bigger discounts if you prefer to buy branded.

Discounts and vouchers can be used for food, drinks, pet foods, office supplies, beauty products, babies, and more!

To use the vouchers, you need to select the ones you want to use (they’re all listed here), and then the discount will be automatically applied at the checkout.

For extra savings, sign up for their subscribe and save service to cut costs even more—you’ll save 30% on prices!

Tesco Special Promise Vouchers

So you plan out your shopping, look on My Supermarket first to make sure you know which bargains you’re after and have the perfect coupon to save even more—winning!

But then you get to Tesco and realise that the item on special offer has all sold out – boo!

There’s no need to worry, though.

Tesco has a bit of a secret when it comes to items that are no longer in stock. If you ask their customer services, they will issue you with a Special Promise Voucher.

You will be able to go back to the store (even when the item is not on offer) and get it at a lower price.

Price match

Ocado

If they are not cheaper than Tesco.com, they’ll email you a voucher for the difference plus 1p! So this is solely a Tesco Price Match but that does mean you’ll get Waitrose food for Tesco prices.

Sainsbury’s and Morrisons used to do brand matching but both stopped doing them quite a while back now.

Asda Price Guarantee

The Asda Price Guarantee (APG) was scrapped on 3 October 2018.

Tesco Brand Guarantee

Tesco Brand Guarantee was stopped on 16 July 2018. Instead, they now offer the Aldi Price Guarantee.

So, if you buy branded items made by any of them, you should get your vouchers before you head to the supermarket, as you’ll miss out.

You’re able to print out 30 coupons a month, and it will only let you print one out of each kind.

You’ll need to create an account to get access to the vouchers. They email (maybe once a week) with a normal newsletter; however, it does include the odd freebie/sample you can ask to have.

Caring Everyday

Using the coupons from Caring Everyday, you are able to save up to £25 a month on their goods, which all fall under the Johnson and Johnson brands.

Their coupons include Johnsons Baby, Listerine, Aveeno, Calpol, Clean and Clear, Imodium and Benylin.

You’ll need to create an account to access and print the vouchers.
