Cost of living deals: Stock up your cupboards and fill your freezer for less this week

We've got some cracking cupboard and freezer filler deals to save you cash on your grocery bills this week, with coupons to save you money on both big and small shopping trollies

Free nappies, free dry cleaning and yet another birthday freebie are also on offer now with all deals correct on 3 May 2022.

1. Meat fans can make their budget stretch further by looking beyond the local supermarket and considering buying in bulk for bigger savings. Online retailer Musclefood specialises in healthy foods, and there is nearly always an offer running to tempt you in. This week, there's what they call a Payday Offer, with a massive amount of food for £65.99. The offer is constructed as a meat box with four other hampers 'free' but if you add it all up, it represents pretty good value for money. The main box includes favourites such as chicken breast fillets, steaks, burgers and sausages, while the other four hampers are things like ready meals, smaller meat packs and snacks such as popcorn. Delivery is £5.99 on top of this, but you could add some extras to bring the order up to £75, when delivery drops to £1. The company also gives both you and your friend £10 off your orders if you recommend a friend.

2. If you go online to frozen food retailer Farmfoods, you can sign up to the newsletter and get a link to download coupons, which are valid for two weeks from the date you sign up. The savings amount to around 10% off your bill, so £5 off a £50 shop or £10 off a £100 shop. If that's too much, you can also get £2 off a £25 shop. Simply click on the 'Click here for moneysaving vouchers' black circle on the right hand side of the home page.

3. If you've got Ocado in your area (and a lot more of the North East now has - check here ) you can get get £10 off a £60 spend on your first online order with the code VOU1074069 or £20 off an £80 spend with the code VOU1681797 . You will also get free delivery on your order and a choice of free gift between a toy Ocado truck a wooden spoon or an eight pack of Pepsi Lime.

4. Yet another birthday treat - who knew you could get so much for free on your special day? This time, it's a free Krispy Kreme doughnut of your choice (worth up to £2.25) and unlike similar offers, you can claim it any time in your birthday month. To get the freebie, you will need to sign up to the company's Rewards scheme. And if you sign up through the app, you'll get an additional free doughnut just for signing up. A word of warning though - this offer is only available in Krispy Kreme stores, such as the ones in Eldon Square in Newcastle, The Bridges in Sunderland on the Metrocentre. You won't be able to claim your free doughnut in concessions instore in Tesco, Sainsbury's or Morrisons, for example.

5. High street chain Timpson is offering free dry-cleaning to the unemployed, if you need a clean outfit for a job interview. All you have to do is just ask at the counter to get the deal and Timpson say you can get your suit/outfit cleaned for free as long as it's for an interview. This offer has been quietly running since 2015, with no end date, and Timpson say it will continue to run as long as people only claim the offer if they were genuinely entitled to so so. To locate your nearest Timpson with dry-cleaning facilities, type your postcode in here

6. Grab a pack of newborn nappies for free next time you're in Aldi. To get the offer, follow this Newmums link, and you will get a voucher posted to you to claim a free 79p Aldi newborn nappies 24-pack. The nappies come in a 'Size 1', which Aldi says fits babies weighing between 4-11lbs (2-5kg). Netmums says the coupon will be posted within two weeks, and it's valid until 31 Dec 2022.
