The Co-op is one of the UK’s largest retailers, and membership costs just £1 – refunded as a £1 credit on your first in-store purchase, making it effectively free. Membership lasts for life and gives you access to exclusive Member Prices on hundreds of Co-op own-brand products, which are typically 10–25% cheaper than the standard shelf price.

Members also receive personalised weekly offers through the Co-op app, a share of local community fund money reinvested in good causes near you, discounts on Co-op Funeralcare, Insurance and Legal services, and presale access to Co-op Live arena events in Manchester.

Simply join online or in any Co-op store with your £1 and start saving immediately. One of the most straightforward and genuinely useful free memberships on the high street.
