How to bag a bargain SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain… Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with. Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks. Sales are when you can pick up a real steal. Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on. Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer. Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping. Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out. And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item. 8 Shoppers will be able to choose from selection of flavours Credit: Iceland 8 The frozen treats have been slashed by a whopping 99 per cent Credit: Iceland 8 Iceland lovers will have to be quick to snap up the deal Credit: Iceland 8 The deal comes just in time for the start of summer Credit: Iceland

The UK supermarket rewards schemes that are actually worth your loyalty
We've all seen supermarkets offering discounts to members of their loyalty schemes – Tesco Clubcard and Sainsbury's Nectar to name but two. But not all rewards cards are created equal, and they don't always end up saving you money on your shop. Take the Clubcard, for example. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Tesco is doubling the value of its vouchers when exchanged at over 100 different Reward Partners, which sounds like a great deal. Since a point has a standard valuation of 1p, it effectively means you'll get 2p per £1 spent, so 2% back. Say you're spending £400 this month on groceries, that's a total of £8 if you spend at the likes of Pizza Express, Cineworld, or – £4 more than normal. This beats the equivalent loyalty and points offerings at the other supermarkets. But I don't think this promotion, or any loyalty scheme, can justify switching supermarkets. Instead you're better off focusing on price when choosing where to shop. When consumer groups such as Which? track prices across the big chains, they often find discounters such as Aldi and Lidl around £10 cheaper than Tesco on smaller baskets, while Asda and Morrisons are potentially £20 to £30 less on bigger trolleys. That's much more of a saving than getting the usual Clubcard points, let alone when they're doubled. Since these comparisons are looking at a set list of products, your own shopping needs will offer up different price variations, and indeed Tesco (or one of the others) could still work out the cheapest for you. What the research really highlights though, is that while points are a nice extra, the key driver to reducing your spend is the actual price. Every scheme is different, with only a handful offering points. Most offer extra savings via the app, so make sure you check these before heading out to shop. Here are the key benefits each supermarket offers it members: Asda Rewards Variable cashback on selected products and 'missions' Co-op Member Coupons in app and member prices Iceland Bonus Card £1 back for every £20 you load onto your card and member prices Lidl Plus Coupons in app M&S Sparks Coupons in app and the chance to win your shop Morrisons More Points on selected products and member prices Sainsbury's Nectar One point per £1 spent with extra points available on selected products via app and member prices Tesco Clubcard One point per £1 spent and member prices MyWaitrose Coupons in app and free hot drink There are a few tools to help you work out whether you can get your groceries for less elsewhere. Comparison sites and Supermarket Wizard are good ways to see if the items you buy cost less at alternative shops, and are particularly useful when looking for pricier items on promotion. You can also get better discounts than loyalty scheme offerings by using cut-price gift cards (available from sites like Cardyard) at the checkout. And you're generally looking at 2% to 4% cashback on your spend via sites such as HyperJar and JamDoughnut. Better still, you can use these alongside your Clubcard, Nectar and other cards to stack the offers. However, something that does make loyalty cards an essential part of your shop is being able to take advantage of exclusive prices for members. More Trending Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons and Iceland all offer this, while Co-op joined them by ditching 2% back on own-brand items in favour of similar price cuts. In many cases these have replaced special offers for all, and mean if you don't have a card – or if you have one but don't swipe it – you'll miss out. This can be a pain if you are mixing and matching the supermarkets you visit. But to make life easier, you can add most loyalty cards to your phone's digital wallet or an app such as Stocard, so there's no need to carry them all in your real wallet or purse, or on your keyring.
