Hey there! How are you?

So, it’s been a little while… 2026 hasn’t been my year for newsletter consistency, so thank you for bearing with me. I’ve had lots going on and the newsletter was the first to fall off my list.

Last time we spoke was a month ago and since then a few things have happened, such as my first ever solo trip to Florence. I had a bit of a mad moment and booked flights at 1am to leave that afternoon - if you know me, I’m not a spontaneous person at all so this was wild for me!

I vlogged the whole trip so if you fancy a nice, easy video to watch tonight then grab a cuppa and here you go 👇

Hope you like this week’s deals and freebies below. Speak next week (hopefully!!)

🛒 Supermarket App Updates

⚫️ M&S Sparks Update
A few weeks ago, M&S relaunched their Sparks rewards. Every Tuesday, you’ll get new personalised offers across the food hall, beauty and fashion. You activate the offers in the M&S app, scan at checkout, and earn pounds (not points) straight into your Sparks wallet to spend in M&S.

Some offers also give you a time period to complete them rather than needing to do it all in one shop, for example I’ve got a £1 reward when I spend £10 on cheese, milk and butter over 12 days. M&S also told me they won’t be introducing cheaper “members prices” for Sparks users.

🧠 My thoughts: I think it’s a big improvement, although I’ve seen online that there’s mixed thoughts. Before, my offers were random so I just stopped scanning it altogether, especially as the food hall was rarely included. Now the offers feel much more relevant and there are loads for the food hall. I’ve already earned £13 in my Sparks wallet.

🔵 Lidl Plus Update
On Monday, Lidl relaunched their Lidl Plus rewards. You now earn 1 point for every £1 spent and can swap points for money-off coupons and freebies in the app. Points last for two years so there’s less pressure to use them quickly, which will benefit less-regular shoppers. You can also currently get 100 points for free just by accepting the new programme T&Cs in the app.

🧠 My thoughts: For most shoppers, the new Lidl Plus seems less generous. Previously, you’d unlock rewards based on monthly spend milestones, for example a free bakery item after spending £10, free fruit and veg after £50, and 10% off when you hit £250. (The free veg reward was great if you were savvy and used it on the 7.5kg potatoes bag!). Now you need 40 points for a free doughnut, which means spending £40(!!). If you’re a regular Lidl shopper the points will still add up, but I do think the old milestone rewards felt more rewarding.

What’s your thoughts on both of these changes?

And that’s a wrap!

Woohoo you made it to the end! Are there any deals you’d like to see in next week’s newsletter? Send me a reply as I’d love to hear them!
