Asda is offering customers money off their food shop if they book a flu jab.
The offer will run until October 23, giving supermarket shoppers just less than a month to benefit from the discount.
To get the discount, you have to book a flu jab at an Asda pharmacy, which costs £9.98.
Shoppers will then receive a cash reward through the new Asda Rewards loyalty scheme app.
Customers who book will be credited with £1 into their "cash pot" which they can then use to get money off a future shop.

Through the Asda app, customers can earn vouchers to save money on future grocery bills.
Shoppers are credited with "Asda pounds" rather than points, and customers can use the app to get cash back, as well as money off at the checkout.
Faisal Tuddy, Superintendent Pharmacist at Asda, said: “It’s so important to get a flu jab, especially if you are vulnerable or if you’re visiting family members this winter.
“We want to give back to shoppers who book their jab, which is why we’re giving Asda Rewards users the opportunity to earn some money in their cash pot which they can then put towards their essentials.”
Customers can book by visiting Asda’s in-store pharmacy team or head to their booking service, available online.
Appointments are available seven days a week, with a range of slots throughout the day.
Asda Pharmacy will also offers free flu jabs to anyone who qualifies through the NHS from 15.
You won't receive the Asda Rewards bonus with the free jab.
Further information on groups that qualify for a free jab can be found on the NHS website.
The news comes as the NHS has warned that Brits are more likely to be vulnerable to the flu this year since Covid restrictions have eased.
Experts say there could be a “twindemic” of rising Covid-19 infections this winter, along with a rise in severe flu caused by the same virulent strain.
There are concerns it could overload the NHS, which is trying to cope with record backlogs.
Figures from the Southern Hemisphere, which usually foretell what will happen in the UK, indicate a flu surge two months earlier than normal, driven by under-30s.
