The latest promotion will run from Tuesday (October 18) to Thursday (October 20) and will allow customers to buy essentials with a combined retail value of almost £10 for 1p.

It follows the success of a similar scheme run in September by grocery delivery app Snappy Shopper, which is partnering with stores across the country for what has been dubbed the ‘Big Brand Bundle’.

Snappy Shopper says it is “on a mission to serve local community businesses and their customers with technology by offering an affordable and convenient home delivery service within one hour”.
