Linda Stewart — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 08:50:30 +0000

Musgrave Northern Ireland has launched a Shop for Free campaign giving away more than £25,000 worth of vouchers in a daily draw across its SuperValu, Centra and Mace stores.

As shoppers continue to deal with the increased cost of living, Musgrave NI is giving back to communities with three lucky winners chosen across each brand every day between September 5 and October 16.

Across SuperValu stores, there will be three prizes of £100 vouchers per day to be won, while in Centra and Mace stores, shoppers will have the chance to win one of three £50 vouchers per day.

Shoppers will be invited to scan a QR code in store and fill in their details online to enter the prize draw.

“This latest initiative is in addition to our three-point plan to support shoppers at this difficult time,” said Desi Derby, director of marketing for Musgrave NI.

“We’re investing £5.6m in over 300 special offers every week across SuperValu, Centra and Mace, including many everyday essentials.

“We’ve over 700 own brand products across SuperValu and Centra, up to 33% cheaper than the better-known brands. And, in SuperValu, with more than 500 of our branded products price-checked against Tesco, we are committed to delivering the best value for our customers across our entire range.

“Customers across the region are feeling the squeeze on their household finances from the increased cost of living, so we wanted to give back to the communities in which we operate.

“We’ve committed over £25,000, offering shoppers the chance to win up to £100 towards their weekly shop to top up on essentials and to treat themselves when times are tough.

“With three prizes to be won per brand per day, a total of 378 customers across Northern Ireland will benefit from the competition.”

The Shop for Free competition, which is sponsored by Lucozade, Mi Wadi and Walkers, will run for six weeks with nine winners chosen at random each day across the three brands.

Full terms and conditions can be found on the SuperValu, Centra and Mace websites.

SuperValu and Centra launch competition to lift your Moo’d

Linda Stewart — Tue, 10 May 2022 11:39:22 +0000

Local convenience stores SuperValu and Centra are giving primary schools across Northern Ireland the opportunity to win free Moo’d ice-cream for all pupils and staff as an end of year treat.

To enter the competition which launches on Friday (13th May), customers must scan the QR code at the Moo’d ice cream kiosk at their local SuperValu or Centra store and nominate the primary school they want to win. The school with the most nominations by the end of the competition will win.

Made by family-run business Ice Cream Treats, Moo’d is now available in 30 SuperValu and Centra stores in Northern Ireland.

Moo’d prioritises natural ingredients and simplicity, steering clear of vegetable and palm oils and using natural flavours as much as possible. It is made using dairy cream from over 3,100 farmers across the island of Ireland with a range that includes something for everyone.

Julie Cherry, SuperValu and Centra Trading Director said: “We believe that the pupils deserve a treat to celebrate the end of a successful and tiring school year, so we’re excited to launch our Moo’d ice cream competition to give them just that.

“Moo’d ice cream is our exclusive ice cream brand handcrafted by a group of local experts. They offer such a wide selection of products and the most amazing flavours such as Madagascan Vanilla, Cookies and Cream and Salted Caramel. The winning schools will receive tubs of ice cream for the entire school – students, teachers and all staff. We hope the competition will lift everyone’s mood and help to kickstart the summer the right way!”

The Moo’d ice cream competition opens on Friday, 13^th May and closes on 12^th June. To enter, simply visit one of the local stores with a Moo’d Kiosk, scan the QR code at the kiosk and nominate your local primary school. Nominations made in SuperValu and Centra stores will be counted separately, so there will be one winning school for SuperValu and another for Centra. Go on, give it a whirl!
