Stokie mum saves £30 on weekly shop with easy hack – and you can do it too

A Stokie mum has revealed how she bagged herself a GBP30 saving on her food shop with an easy hack. Kymberley Bates managed to pick up her groceries for just GBP8.27 after a trip to Asda. Posting in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook[1] group, Kymberley explained how other shoppers would also be able to knock money off their bills by following a few simple steps.

Kymberley, from Stoke-on-Trent, shared a digital receipt from Asda to show how the money-saving tip works. She explained that she used Asda’s rewards app[2] for ‘weekly nip-ins’ to build up points which could then be converted into a voucher. In total, Kymberley managed to purchase almost GBP40-worth of items for just under a tenner.

She wrote: “Asda Christmas saver came in handy for a little weekend top-up today. Managed to save GBP27 through weekly nip ins, they topped it up with that GBP3 bonus giving GBP30 total. “Created my voucher on the rewards app, and then went onto the asda app to do a shop, it automatically comes off your total.”

According to Kymberley, all you have to do is go onto the app and click on the “wallet” feature at the bottom of the homepage. The amount you have built up in rewards should be highlighted in red at the bottom of that section.

The receipt

Simply click that and it will convert into a voucher code that you can use in-store or online. You can even select the amount of credit you wish to use up so you can spread your rewards across multiple trips.

Other shoppers looking to save the pennies in the run up to Christmas were impressed with the hack. One wrote: “I’ve just done a little order to collect 23rd December, spent GBP47 ish but used my GBP45 voucher so just need to pay GBP2.60. Makes things feel so much better.”
