MORRISONS shoppers have just days left to cash in on a popular loyalty scheme – or risk losing out on premium kitchen gear worth up to £30.
The supermarket has warned customers that they must redeem their More Card Stamps in-store by Sunday, June 22, or their stamps will go to waste.

With enough stamps, customers could walk away with premium Pyrex items – including dishes, containers and a hand pump – completely free
The offer, available across Morrisons supermarkets in the UK, excludes online orders, Click & Collect, Morrisons Daily convenience stores, Amazon, petrol stations and Gibraltar branches.
It's all part of a recent More Card promotion, launched earlier this year, which has seen customers bag free Pyrex products by collecting digital stamps with their weekly shop.
The deal, which has proved hugely popular with loyal Morrisons shoppers, allowed customers to collect one stamp for every spend over £10.
With enough stamps, customers could walk away with premium Pyrex items – including dishes, containers and a hand pump – completely free.
Lilly Chattoe, Senior Loyalty Marketing Manager at Morrisons, said:
'Our More Card Stamps loyalty program has been incredibly popular, with fans of the Pyrex range being quick to collect their stamps in exchange for a product or two, or more.
'As we reach the final week of the offer, we're reminding customers that haven't yet redeemed their stamps to do so quickly before it runs out.'
Items up for grabs include a 600ML round dish, 800ML rectangular dish, 1100ML round, 1500ML rectangular, 1600ML round and a huge 2600ML rectangular Pyrex dish.
A branded hand pump is also part of the range.
But anyone who hasn't used their stamps by the Sunday deadline will lose them for good – even if they've already done the shopping to earn them.
This isn't the first time supermarket shoppers have been caught out by loyalty scheme cut-offs.
Earlier this year, Tesco scrapped its popular Clubcard app, forcing millions to switch over to the new Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app by a set deadline.
Many shoppers who didn't update in time lost access to their points and vouchers.
Meanwhile, Sainsbury's replaced its well-known Nectar Double Up event – where customers could double the value of their points on selected products – with a range of smaller, more targeted offers, leaving regulars disappointed.
And Boots customers were left fuming last summer when the high street chain cut its Advantage Card rewards rate from 4p to 3p per £1 spent – giving shoppers less bang for their buck.
Now Morrisons fans are being urged not to make the same mistake.
To take part in the promotion, customers must be a More Card member, either through the app or with a physical card.
Stamps can be tracked through the app or printed on the bottom of receipts.

'This is awful' say shoppers as Iceland closes supermarket store today

Iceland is closing its Margate, Kent, store today and will also shut up shop in Inverness, Scotland, on July 12 Iceland is closing one of its stores today - with another branch set to follow shortly after. The frozen food supermarket is closing its Margate, Kent, store. Meanwhile, Iceland will also shut up shop in Inverness, Scotland, on July 12. The grocer has said affected staff will be offered alternative roles within the company where possible. ‌ Shoppers have reacted to the news on social media. One said: 'Wow they been there as long as I can remember they one of the original shops in that area such a shame.' ‌ Another commented: 'This is awful all the elderly people that use this and Morrisons to do the weekly shops will now suffer once again.' A third said: 'Such a shame I remember when it opened.' Iceland, which has over 900 stores across the UK, has not confirmed the reason behind the closures. The supermarket has closed a handful of stores over the last few months, including its Welling branch in London. Its shops in Shenley Road, Borehamwood and Alphington Road Retail Park in Exeter have also been shut down. But it isn't all bad news. The retailer has also opened new stores. Last month, Iceland opened a new city centre supermarket in Derby and another shop at Victoria Chambers on London Road Earlier this year, the company announced plans to open 20 Iceland and Food Warehouse stores, and the supermarket has also opened a new 500,000 square foot £100million distribution centre in Warrington. ‌ The Omega Park Site in Warrington - which opened in partnership with GXO in February - supplies around 350 Iceland stores across the north west of England, the Scottish borders and Wales. It comes after Poundland confirmed 68 stores will close as part of a major restructure. The budget chain will also seek rent reductions at a number of other locations. On top of this, Poundland will also look to close its distribution centre at Darton, South Yorkshire and its national distribution centre at Bilston in the West Midlands in early 2026. Poundland will also stop selling frozen food, and its website will stop taking orders, although shoppers will still be able to browse products and deals online. The restructuring plan, which would put more than 1,000 jobs at risk, would need to be approved by the High Court before it can go ahead. Poundland, which is owned by Pepco Group, currently has 792 stores and employs around 16,000 people. It expects its total store number to eventually be reduced to between 650 to 700, meaning further closures could be announced in the future as leases expire.

Successful New Products Start with a Brief

New products are the lifeblood of the food industry. 'New' is one of the best on pack messages to encourage shoppers to buy. Successful new products have kick-started and transformed food businesses. But if you watch Channel 4's Grand Designs, you probably know what happens when a house build starts and the plan is a bit vague, the budget isn't confirmed and there doesn't appear to be an architect involved. It usually ends up with ad hoc decisions, lots of tears, a massive overspend and the family living in a caravan for much longer than they wanted. Apart from the caravan, the consequences of starting a product development project without a brief are probably similar. During my career I've being involved in launching more than 1,000 new products including own label ranges at Tesco, branded products at McVitie's and supporting client businesses to launch their products. The larger companies have very structured and robust new product development (NPD) processes, which usually start with a very comprehensive product brief. At Tesco this was one of my responsibilities and in my group, with suppliers' support we would launch around 350 new products a year. Despite having NPD briefs, I've been involved in a number of NPD failures. A brief is no guarantee of a successful product launch, but the absence of one significantly increases the likelihood of failure. Bringing new products to market can be time consuming and costly. This sounds harsh, but it is irresponsible to start an NPD project without a formal and robust brief. The real benefit of a brief is that writing it ensures that some thought has been given to the purpose and requirements of the product. A brief helps to clarify thinking, to bring colleagues from different functions together and hopefully avoid costly mid-project changes. At ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre we use a comprehensive, seven-page NPD briefing document. This contains sections and questions to ensure adequate thought and research is put into writing the brief. It's better to agree requirements such as maximum retail price and allergens to avoid at the briefing stage rather than after the recipe has been signed off. We run workshops to support clients to complete NPD briefs and below are some of the suggestions from the workshop: Market and consumer insights- include a summary of market and consumer insights that have informed the new product idea. Define the proposition- include reasons why both the consumer and trade partner would want to buy this new product. What's different and what's better than competitors' products? include reasons why both the consumer and trade partner would want to buy this new product. What's different and what's better than competitors' products? Team effort- involve all relevant colleagues to contribute to the brief. They will feel more invested in the project and their expertise will make the brief better. For example, if the sales team require a 50% trade margin to gain listings, this should be built into the product costings from day one. involve all relevant colleagues to contribute to the brief. They will feel more invested in the project and their expertise will make the brief better. For example, if the sales team require a 50% trade margin to gain listings, this should be built into the product costings from day one. Set clear benchmarks- there are likely to be some mandatory requirements for the product to have a chance of succeeding. This could be out-scoring competitors on key sensory measures, meeting internal margin requirements, having a minimum shelf life etc. there are likely to be some mandatory requirements for the product to have a chance of succeeding. This could be out-scoring competitors on key sensory measures, meeting internal margin requirements, having a minimum shelf life etc. Be realistic- this is particularly important when setting time scales and financials. Very few NPD projects could be launched earlier than they are and even fewer deliver better margins than expected. In my experience, costs and timings rarely improve during the course of a product development project. this is particularly important when setting time scales and financials.

In my experience, costs and timings rarely improve during the course of a product development project. Focus on the details- a good brief will focus minds and avoid the mid project changes that often delay launches and cost money. For example, specifying in the brief that Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) is required may seem trivial nine months before launch, but a late request for SRP can reduce margins, change pallet configurations, result in a poorly designed solution and delay the launch. a good brief will focus minds and avoid the mid project changes that often delay launches and cost money.

Director level buy-in- having senior colleagues approve an NPD brief is important. This can also help to avoid senior colleagues interfering during the development process. having senior colleagues approve an NPD brief is important. This can also help to avoid senior colleagues interfering during the development process. Minimise changes to the brief- although changes to a brief are almost inevitable, if a senior colleague has to sign off amendments it will encourage colleagues to get it right at the first attempt. During the process it is essential to refer to the current (and original) version of the brief. This avoids mission creep and the proposed new 'six pack of organic sourdough rolls for £2.50' becoming 'a four pack of white burger rolls for £2.90'. Through the Welsh Government's HELIX Programme, we're running a series of New Product Development workshops for Welsh food and drink manufacturers in June and July.
