Free Co-op 400g shortbread selection via Shop Scan Save app

Need to be quick as finishes this Friday (13th)! Selected stores only so I presume the Co-ops in the petrol stations don't count.

The app is free to download.

I cannot find a price for it and checked the others for prices and its prob £2.50-£3.

    Download the app and see if your nearest store is on their map.

  • I just used this in my local co-op and it worked perfectly - I think i was the first! It saves £4 :)
  • It should be pointed out that while the MSE email, site and S.S.S. site claim both items will be free when using SSS at least some Co-Op stores are charging £3.00 for the shortbread selection (Burton on Trent so possibly the Staffordshire ones) meaning they are actually £1.00 after redemption

    Still a great deal though :)
  • Just as an update to my last post, I tried it in my local Scotmid, and it worked - although I only got the chocolate because the shortbread wasn't in stock, and the redemption did require:

    1. A call to "the Co-op computer department" (how it was thought they could help I don't know)
    2. A call to PayPoint even after the transaction had gone through
    3. Pretty much being accused of trying to defraud the Co-op by a manager who didn't believe it could be real because it was on a phone...!

    My thanks to the assistant who stayed good-natured throughout and took down the name of the app so they could try it later :rotfl:!

    Some IDs don't scan in the Co-op and they have to do it manually.

  • I've downloaded the app but I can't see where the barcode is that the retailer should scan... Is it supposed to be under "My ID" because mine just says 'use in store with PP including:' (then a scrolling list of store names). There's no barcode of any sort there! Confused!

    Did you get the text message with the 4 digit code?
