Heron Foods Savings Stamps

You can pick up a Saver Card at Heron to make your money go further.

Each time you shop, you can collect savings stamps for £1 each.

When you collect £29 of stamps, you can use it to pay for £30 worth of shopping – so you get £1 free which is the same as a 3.4% reward.

It’s a great way to help spread the cost of slightly more expensive times of the year, like Christmas, as you can spread the money out at £1 every few weeks.

However, once you’ve collected a set, you can use the book of stamps whenever you want.

Other supermarkets have a Christmas savings card where you can get a bonus of up to 5%, which is more than you’d get in a standard savings account!
