Asda, Iceland and Morrisons issue NHS workers discount - here's how to claim it

With the ongoing cost of living crisis, many people have been looking to try and save as much money as they can amid soaring bills.

Energy is one of the biggest culprits with millions across the UK now cutting down on just how long they leave their heating on as well as how often they use the oven.

Because of this, air fryer sales have soared with people trying to use their electricity less and less with shoppers hailing the likes of Costco's own air fryer as well as Ninja's - one of the most popular brands when it comes to the latest 'must have' kitchen gadget.

But it's not just energy bills that have risen with shoppers also noticing a difference in their bills too.

So with this in mind, we have taken a look at the supermarket discounts, according to MSE, that you could be eligible for if you work for the NHS. You may also be able to benefit from the discount if you are another healthcare worker or work in the emergency services.

So how you can claim them? Here's what you need to know.

NHS supermarket discounts

Asda

The supermarket is offering 10 per cent off in-store purchases for NHS and emergency services staff when you show staff your Blue Light Card and ID.

Asda says it has extended the discount to the end of the year, but there's always a risk it could be pulled, so it's best to check you can use the discount before shopping.

Shoppers should be warned that the discount cannot be used online.

It also can't be used to purchase the following:

  • Alcohol
  • Fuel
  • Tobacco
  • Lottery products
  • Gift vouchers
  • Gift cards
  • Saver Stamps
  • Postage Stamps
  • Infant formula/milk
  • Cashback
  • Fireworks
  • Online games & instant tickets
  • Photo printing
  • Mobile phone top ups
  • Online financial services or insurance
  • Pharmacy
  • Separate concessions
  • Asda on the Move
  • Asda Tyres
  • Asda cafe

The Blue Light Card, which costs £4.99 for two years, cannot be used by anyone else such as afriends or family as an ID must be presented alongside the card.

You can check their T&Cs here.

Iceland

If you're a new online customer to Iceland and have a Blue Light Card, you can get £6 off a £45+ spend online only and a bonus is that you can get free delivery for spending over £40.

You'll need to log in to Blue Light Card online to claim a unique discount code which you then use at the checkout.

If you're already an Iceland customer, you can still get a discount via your Blue Light Card however you will only be able to get £2 off a £60 spend.

MSE adds a warning saying: "If you amend your order, you will lose the code and pay the full amount, as the codes are single use only, so be sure to add everything you need before checking out.

"The cost of carrier bags and adding electronic savings to your Bonus Card won't count towards the £45 or £60 spend, and in Scotland, purchases of alcohol don't count towards the minimum spend either."

Morrisons

Morrisons is another one of the supermarkets also offering a discount for NHS staff.

In order to benefit from the offers, you will need to join their 'More for NHS Club*' with your NHS staff email address with the deals working both in-store or online.

If you decided to shop online, Morrisons says you can get a free 'Anytime' delivery pass - which is normally £65 - and instead get unlimited free deliveries on shops over £40.
