If you want cashback on groceries UK, there are a handful of apps that genuinely deliver. We have been using JamDoughnut, TopCashback, and Sprive for our own weekly food shops for months now, and the savings quietly stack up. This is not couponing. This is not switching to own-brand everything. It is simply routing your existing spending through an app that gives you a percentage back.

We ran the numbers on a typical £80 weekly Tesco shop using JamDoughnut and, at a standard rate of around 2%, that works out at roughly £83 back over a year. When rates get "pumped up" (more on that below), it could be closer to £125 or more. That is not life-changing money, but it is a free tank of petrol for doing absolutely nothing different.
