Morrisons introduces new loyalty card perk for anyone who spends £10 at 405 stores
One lucky customer will win a magical family trip to Disneyland Paris, while others can bag Disney merchandise bundles and More Card points.
Gareth Lloyd, Director of Loyalty at Morrisons, said: “We’re bringing the wonder of Disney to Morrisons this Christmas with the launch of our exclusive Disney Trading Cards and the chance to win several rewards and must-have prizes.
“Whether collecting and swapping the themed trading cards with friends, decorating the tree with the collectable Disney Bells, or unlocking rewards in the Morrisons More app, it’s a celebration of storytelling and imagination that the whole family can enjoy together.”
The Disney Trading Cards are available to customers shopping in Morrisons supermarkets or online, while the Disney Bells can also be found in selected convenience stores.
What other supermarkets are doing
Other big supermarkets are also rolling out festive incentives and schemes to win over shoppers this season.
For example, Tesco is offering customers a chance to earn up to a £12 bonus through its Clubcard Christmas Savers scheme, which allows users to top-up their Clubcard account and receive a small bonus voucher in November.
Meanwhile, Sainsbury’s is running a similar scheme offering customers a 5 per cent cash bonus (around £2.50 for every £50 saved) under its Christmas savings plan.
The discount chain Aldi is also making headlines: although it isn’t offering a free gift in quite the same style, it has announced that all its UK supermarkets will close for three days over the Christmas period (including Boxing Day and New Year’s Day) and will operate extended hours beforehand to help shoppers load up.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
