Shoppers across the UK can score significant savings on their grocery bills this month, as a host of major supermarkets roll out exclusive discount offers and promotional deals. These bargains, available from now through December and into the new year, provide a welcome financial boost just as the festive season gets underway.
Exclusive Online Discounts and Codes
Several retailers are targeting online shoppers with tempting introductory offers. Iceland is providing new customers with £5 off their first online order over £45 by using the code ICEFIVEOFF at checkout. It's important to note that this deal cannot be applied to the purchase of carrier bags or baby formula. Furthermore, the grocer is offering free next-day delivery on all orders exceeding £40.
Meanwhile, Amazon Fresh is enticing new users with a substantial £15 discount on their first three online shops. To qualify, shoppers must spend a minimum of £70 per shop and enter the code SAVEFRESH45 on their initial order. The discount will then be automatically applied to the following two orders. This promotion excludes baby formula, alcohol, video games, consoles, and electronics, and is valid until Saturday, January 31. Prime members enjoy free two-hour delivery on orders over £60, while non-members get the same service on orders over £80.
Targeted Offers and Loyalty App Perks
Ocado has launched two distinct promotions. The first is a dedicated offer for NHS workers and teachers who are new to the service. They can receive 15% off a shop of £90 or more by obtaining a code from the free-to-join Health Service Discounts or Discounts for Teachers websites. This offer is valid for deliveries until Sunday, January 4, 2026, with a maximum discount cap of £33.
For all other new customers, Ocado is providing a generous 25% off their first shop of £60 or more by using the code VOU7311870. This deal also includes free delivery for three months, subject to availability. Shoppers should be aware that this discount cannot be used for orders delivered between December 18 and December 26.
For in-store savings, the Lidl Plus app is a powerful tool. Customers can earn a 10% off voucher (up to a maximum of £20) when they spend £250 in a calendar month. The app also rewards shoppers with a free own-brand item after spending £100 in a month, and again at the £150 mark. Additionally, users can claim a free in-store bakery item after a monthly spend of £10. Bakery lovers can also get 20% off all in-store bakery items from 7pm until closing time, Monday to Saturday (excluding bank holidays).
It is worth bearing in mind that most of these supermarket promotions exclude certain product categories, typically including alcohol, tobacco, and baby formula. Always check the specific terms and conditions of each offer to ensure you qualify and can maximise your savings during this period of generous discounts.
