The supermarket chain have said that Care Workers, the Armed Forces, Veterans, and those who work in the Police and Fire Service who hold a Blue Light Card will get a 10 per cent discount on their shopping in stores nationwide.

The Blue Light Card is a recognised national scheme which provides card holders with a range of discounts from large national retailers to local businesses including holidays, days out and insurance.
How long is the discount valid until?
