A MAJOR supermarket is giving drivers 5p off a litre of fuel – but there’s a catch.

Morrisons has announced that for 10 days this month, shoppers can save money when they fill up their cars.

Morrisons is offering drivers the chance to save 5p on fuel every time they spend £35

Customers who spend £35 in store and online will receive a coupon giving them 5p off every litre of fuel purchased.

The offer starts on Thursday, April 13 and finishes on Sunday, April 23.

However, shoppers only have until May 1 to spend it so you’ll need to be quick.

The coupon can then be redeemed at any Morrisons petrol station but not at franchised Morrisons Daily petrol stations.

The exact amount that Morrisons charges for its fuel will vary by location so do check yours before you fill up.

You can find your nearest filling station by using the locator tool on its website.

You can’t spend £35 using a voucher or gift card.

You also won’t qualify for the coupon if your £35 spend includes:

  • Tobacco
  • Lottery products
  • Anything from the Morrisons cafe,
  • Formula
  • Cash back
  • Dry cleaning
  • Fireworks
  • Online games
  • Instant tickets
  • Photo printing
  • Stamps
  • Mobile top up
  • Garden centre purchases
  • Pharmacy purchases
  • Delivery costs like delivery pass charges

Rachel Eyre, chief customer & marketing officer at Morrisons, said: “We know that fuel remains a significant cost for many households and so this offer aims to help budgets go a little further. 

“It is the third time we have run it this year and alongside our in store price cuts demonstrates our commitment to helping our customers with their household bills.”

In January, Morrisons gave shoppers the same offer as well as in September 2022.

That offer had a £40 minimum spend so the one announced today means you don’t have to spend as much.

The move comes as the RAC had previously called on supermarkets to pass falling petrol prices onto consumers.

Last month, Asda slashed its prices by an average of 4.5p off for petrol and around 5.5p off for diesel.

How to check fuel prices near me

The easiest way to find the cheapest forecourt in your area for fuel is by using price comparison sites.

Websites like Petrolprices.com will list the cheapest filling stations in your area.

You need to register with the site, enter your postcode and tell it how far you’re willing to travel for fuel (up to 20 miles) and what fuel type you’re after.

There are other websites you can use too.

Fleet News and Allstar also let you check petrol prices across the counties so you can see how your region compares to the UK average.

Comparison website Confused.com also has a petrol prices checker that lets registered users find petrol prices within a five, ten or 25 mile radius.

Petrolprices.com is useful, but it does only give you limited amounts of searches each day, whereas Confused.com doesn’t.
