Compers shopping list

by · Published · Updated

Purchase-necessary competitions can give you an amazing chance of winning a prize – you buy a product, and as a bonus you’ll be able to enter a prize draw or competition with the packaging or receipt!

Over 25 years I’ve won thousands of pounds of prizes in purchase comps, including a car and several holidays – the biggest being my 2021 win of £15,000 plus £10,000 of shares in Brewdog! Since 2022 my biggest purchase necessary wins have been an LG tech bundle worth over £2,500, a £500 Easyjet voucher with Walkers, £1,000 from a Lu biscuits standard rate text entry prize draw at the Co-op, and three £100 vouchers after buying Glade at Wilko, Coke at Tesco, and Pepsi at Asda!


The table below shows a list of current purchase-necessary promotions available in UK supermarkets – check it before you go shopping, or print it to take to the shops with you! The promotions listed are ones that I’ve found myself, plus the comps that my blog readers and members of the Lucky Learners group share with me.

For promotions where a receipt is required, it’s usually OK to shop in store or online (but check the Terms & Conditions first!) – a screenshot or photo of your online order qualifies as a receipt. If you have a long online order, take several screenshots of it and combine them into one file using the free Filesmerge website.

Take a photo of your receipt, barcode or unique code

My advice is to take a photo of your receipt (ideally, with the product, unique code or barcode alongside it) as soon as you get home from your supermarket trip.

Save this photo into a ‘receipts’ album on your phone. Then if you do lose the receipt, you still have a photo of it to validate a win – and if you included the product in your photo you’ll be able to locate the correct receipt easily when swiping through your phone’s camera roll!

I then file away my receipts, codes and packaging in an expanding file with 12 monthly sections. There’s more advice in my blog post How to organise quallies, receipts and POPs.

Purchase necessary competition receipts


Space in the table is limited, so if you want to find out more details, see a photo of promotional packaging, or ask questions, please do join us in the Lucky Learners Facebook group for the individual chat threads (these are linked in the table too). 

If you’re new to purchase comps you might like to read the following blog posts before you get stuck in – they will help you understand which type of promotion gives you the best chance of a win, and advise on whether you only need to buy a single product to make multiple entries. 

Please note that the closing date in the table is when the main promotion ends. Some instant win promotions have one or more late entry or mop-up draws which can be several months after the instant wins finish. These late draws usually just have a single prize so it’s not worth keeping the products listed here, when flashed packs are likely to have long since disappeared off the shelves… find out more in my blog post What are mop-up draws, late entry draws and re-draws?

How to use the Compers Shopping List

The product name is a clickable link – it will either take you to my own SuperLucky blog post about the promotion, or directly to the promotion website or Terms & Conditions. For some text comps, it might be a link to view a photo of the in-store display if the T&Cs aren’t yet online. 

Click the column headers in the table and you can sort by store, closing date, product name – or the final column shows the date the promotion was added to the list. Newly added promotions will display a NEW icon until the next batch of comps are added.

Column 6 has a clickable link to the chat thread about that particular promotion in my Lucky Learners Facebook group (you will need to be a group member to see the chat post).

Key to promotion type:

  • IW = instant win
  • WM = winning moment (a specific type of instant win)
  • PD = prize draw
  • STW = swipe to win/scan to win (eg. Nectar, Co-op loyalty card prize draws)
  • J = judged (usually a photo or tiebreaker competition)
  • A ☆ icon indicates that the product you need to buy has specific promotional packaging, sticker or neck tag. If there’s no star, it’s OK to buy the product in regular packaging.
  • A thumbs down 👎 icon indicates the promotion is an algorithmic instant win, and less than 5% of advertised prizes are likely to be won – I don’t recommend this format!
  • A NEW icon at the starts shows the latest additions to the list
  • (E) means the promotion is effort based, usually taking a photo!

Spotted an in-store or on-pack promotion that’s missing from the shopping list?
Let me know in the comments below, and I’ll add it.

Online purchases

Certain UK supermarkets have prize draws where you’re automatically entered if you add a certain product to your online order – these aren’t included in the shopping list but you can find current comp details in my Facebook group:

      I’ve just had exactly the same problem but found it eventually. On mine (Nesquix) it was on the back of the box, in the section that says “Prizes to be won each week” and then has How to Enter instructions. There were 4 points and the code was included under point 3

    I won access to a digital game with Pringles and thought I would be allowed to enter again later in hope of an actual prize…but now it’s telling me to enter a valid code? Is it because I already “won”? So I would have to enter a new code every time I guess. Quite disappointed if that is the case.

    I noticed on my recent purchase from Tesco the item for the competition was not itemised just a generic term biscuits. Will this be accepted by promoter? I used a Tesco Express. Would be unfair if rejected as customer has no control over the design of the receipt.

    • Di says:
      27/10/2021 at 11:48 am

      Yes, that would be absolutely fine. My Tesco Express also just uses ‘White wine’ and other generic product names!
      What I tend to do is take a photo of the product at home, next to the receipt. It serves two purposes – as a reminder to yourself what quallie is listed on the receipt (handy when swiping through your phone photos!) . And also shows the promoter you bought the product (it’s not ‘proof’ of purchase of course, but demonstrates you have it!)

    Hello Di
    Firstly I’d like to say THANK YOU so much for this listing, it’s fantastically helpful. Just been doing the rounds, picked up the Vimto from Sainsburys, Cider from Tesco and GoCat from Asda, may I please ask your opinion on the Morrisons Birds Eye/Aunt Bessie’s comp? I had a look at the T&C’s and it appears to be that the “STORE” you visit has to have promotional material, I have been in 2 Morrisons and none had any promotional material, and even spoke to customer services who had no knowledge of it, to be fair though, it probably isn’t part of their job to know. If I’m correct it means I’m going to have to travel a bit further afield to find one.

    Hi friends! Looking at the Asda Taylors of Harrogate competition (Closing 17/09/2021), it doesn’t specify which product to buy i.e. specifically whole beans of ground for caffetiere etc. Can we take this to mean ANY TofH product or do you think it is just the whole beans (because that’s what is in the picture). Apologies if I have missed something obvious in the Ts and C’s! Thanks so much!

        I didn’t win anything on the Cadburys WTC competition either but I have won a £50 Adidas voucher in the nestle competition, I bought a packet of Shreddies from Tesco online and uploaded my receipt and was one of the 3 people drawn for that day. Really pleased. I have to provide ID and confirm my details but that’s fine. I also won a £15 Team GB voucher in the Yoplait competition and have chosen a small microfiber towel to use at Golf, very pleased with that.

    Firstly, I have to say a big Thank You for this fab list!
    I wondered if anyone knows if you need to buy a new loaf of Jackson’s bread for each new entry or can you use the same barcode? The Ts&C’s don’t say you need a new code but on the website after you’ve entered one time it says “Thanks, buy another loaf and enter again” but this might just be to encourage you to buy more!

      T&Cs say “”Please retain promotional packaging and receipt dated within the Main Promotional Period for each individual entry, as they will be required for verification in the event of a win” which suggests you need a new receipt for every entry. I’m trying to find out if there have been any winners yet an if they were asked to provide receipt(s) to claim!

          Me too! I used the same single loaf entry and receipt each time I entered but there are several draws so once you have passed the draw date you would need a new receipt for the next draw. Hope that makes sense.

    Hi Di, Looking at the Co Op/Nisa promotion to win a Volkswagen campervan. I keep reading through the terms and conditions and can’t work out whether you can just purchase one Amstel product and enter every day, or whether you have to purchase another product each time before you enter again. What do you think?

      One purchase/receipt will be fine for this one – there’s nothing in T&Cs to suggest you need a separate receipt for each entry (and it would also be rather irresponsible to request this, with it being alcohol!)

    I’m not a fan of pay to enter draws – I’ve heard that some of the websites find excuses not to put postal entries into the draw because of illegible writing, the wrong stamp, they arrived too late, etc! If ticket price is a whopping £95 I can see them doing everything they can to avoid giving the £1000 to a postcard entry!

      iv already had win from a postal entry one an a runners up one from another site..The entry ticket prices are usually anything from 90p to £10 depending on prize. You can enter supercars ones for £30 to £35..Theres one for £1,000,000 ,cant remember how much the tickets are, something like £5.. or free postal entry.. The £95 one is bit unusal..most are 90p to £5 to £10

        the way i see it is that i have a 1 in 15 chance of winning £1000 just for the price of a stamp…there will ONLY be a maximum of 15 entries to that comp and theres no garantee that they will sell all the 15 entries before the closing date so far as of today 3 July theyve sold ONE… when they get mine that will be 2 entries into the comp.. The comp was only put on their site last night,, then they say they hadnt sold any…so as of today saturday, it says ONE ticket sold .. it will have been too soon for a postal entry to be received..so someone has bought a £95 ticket

          For most T&Cs it does say a POP ‘MAY be required to claim the prize’ – however for Pedigree/Perfect Fit it does specifically say “proof of purchase WILL be required to claim a prize” so it’s strange that they’ve decided not to ask for it – particularly as Dreamies are owned by the same company as Pedigree (Mars) and they’ve been very strict on seeing receipts before sending prizes. I always think it’s better to play safe and if it says a purchase is necessary, then you should buy the product. But it would be better if promoters did stick to their own T&Cs!

You really don’t need to pay any money to be successful at comping as everything you need is available for free online on websites, forums and in Facebook groups. If you DO want to spend money on a magazine, opt for Compers News which is much better value because it gives you membership to the excellent private Chatterbox message board.

    Oh Di, you have given me a new lease of life re comping, I am so disorganised, I have a folder for receipts eg Jan to Dec, but reading your tips, I’m going out today and buy a small stapler, to add receipts to wrappers, and I’ll have a look for something for the bottles etc. I have been quite lucky in the past with some big wins on Free to enter comps, but am going to satrt working on “POPS”. Thank You Thank You….for the excellent advice.

    Di you’re a star, I wish there was a way to compile such a list for ROI but I wouldn’t even know where to start. I hate feeling how ROI/NI//UK are so divided when it comes to purchase to enter comps. We all use pretty much the same brands and I would love a reason to leave the house lol Thanks for the fantastic list anyway! Much appreciated

    That’s spooky, Di. I have literally just written out a comping shopping list, ready to head out in the morning. I decided to be organised for once!! Ha, ha!
    Well, I just put my iPad on to charge overnight, picked up my phone, my comp shopping list and decided to take one last look at my iPad…..and there was your announcement but your new shopping list, on my screen.
    Thanks for setting this up. It’s a great idea and much appreciated.

    This is AMAZING! I had planned to do more purchase necessary this year as I hardly ever do them but it’s been a tricky year for it when its been hard at times to get hold of basic essential foods. Hopefully can use this list as a prompt for shopping. Thank you x
