Co-op Freezer Favourites Deal: What’s Included, How It Works, and Is It Worth It?

Feeding the kids on a budget? The seemingly ever-changing Co-op £6 Freezer Favourites pick-and-mix deal 'could' be an affordable way to top up your freezer with family-friendly food.

If you're looking for a way to save money on your grocery spend or feed the kids for less this month, then Co-op's £6 Freezer Favourites deal could be a decent option.

The deal offers you the choice of three branded frozen items for £6 for Co-op members, or £7 for non-members (recently increased in price from £6.50)

I use it to stock up on easy kids' meals when I'm short on time, short on ideas, or need a few backup dinners that won't break the bank.

What's Actually in the Current Co-op Freezer Deal? (Valid Until December 9th, 2025)

This 'Freezer Favourites' deal has changed a few times in 2025, and the latest revision of the offer, as of November 2025, is that you can now choose any 3 items for £6 or £7 if you aren't a member. It changed earlier in the year from 5 items for £6, to choose any two main meals, a side and a dessert, to the latest version, which is select any three items for £6, so the deal does seem to be weakening for customers, no doubt due to increased food and operating costs for the Co-op.

These are the items included in the current £6 Freezer Favourites Deal  (or £7 without membership):

Choose Any Three Of The Following:

• Dr Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella Pizza 335g - Normal price £3.45

• Wall's Solero Exotic Ice Cream 3x90ml - Normal price £3.50

• Aunt Bessie's 10 Glorious Golden Yorkshire Puddings 190g - Normal price £2.75

• Walls Twister 6 x 50ml - Normal price £3.75

• McCain Home Chips Straight 1kg - Normal price £3.75

• Birds Eye 10 The Original Potato Waffles 567g - Normal price £2.65

• Linda McCartney 6 Vegetarian Sausages 270g - Normal price £2.90

• Birds Eye 12 Chicken Dippers 220g - Normal price £3.20

• McCain Crispy French Fries 900g - Normal price £3.75

• Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles Ice Lollies 4x65ml - Normal price £3.25

  
  

How Much Will You Save With The Co-op Pick And Mix Freezer Deal?  

With the change to the Co-op Freezer Favourite deal, the smartest way to squeeze the most value out of it is to grab the three most expensive items in the offer. In the current deal, a few products are normally priced at £3.75 each. If you pick three at £3.75, the total is £11.25. If you are a member and pay £6 for the bundle, you save £5.25. If you are not a member, the bundle costs £7, so you still save £4.25. The maths only works in your favour if these are things you will actually use. If they are items you already buy, brilliant, it is a genuine saving. If they are things you are not sure you will eat, or items that will sit in the freezer for months, you have to ask whether they are still good value. It is also worth a quick look at rival supermarkets, as one of the items might be on promotion elsewhere for less, but the whole appeal of Co-op is the convenience vibe, out of the main town centre, perfect for grabbing something on the way home. You often pay a little extra for that convenience, so the freezer deal can be a big win as long as it aligns with your actual shopping habits. If it works for you, great. If it does not, skip it.

Is Paying The £1 Co-op Membership Fee Worth It? 

Absolutely. You'll save an extra £1 on this deal alone, which means the membership practically pays for itself if you buy just one of these deals throughout the year.

Will Your Local Co-op Actually Have This Deal?

Here's the frustrating truth: not all Co-op stores offer the same deals. I have two Co-op stores within two miles of each other, and they sometimes run completely different offers.

Why this happens: "Co-op" isn't actually one company. It's several independent businesses that all use the Co-op name:

Stores that typically offer member prices:

• Co-op Group stores (the main ones, green branding)

• Most standard Co-op Food stores
  

Stores that DON'T offer standard member prices:

• Southern Co-op stores

• Midcounties Co-op stores

• Central England Co-op stores

• Chelmsford Star Co-op stores

• Co-op franchise stores

• Nisa stores (Co-op-branded but different company)
  

How to check before you travel:

1. Use the Co-op store finder on their website

2. Call ahead if you're making a special trip

3. Look for "Co-op Group" branding vs regional Co-op names

4. Check if your membership card works at that specific store
   

My honest take: It isn't very clear! The same Co-op membership card may offer different prices at stores that appear identical. If you plan to rely on these deals regularly, ensure you know which type of Co-op store is most convenient for you.

To check deal availability, use the "find your nearest Co-op store" tool on the Co-op website or app. Joining as a member for both store types means I never miss out on member prices, regardless of which store I shop at.

How to Stack Co-op Offers for Maximum Savings

Here's where things get interesting. You can sometimes combine the freezer deal with other Co-op offers for even bigger savings.

What to look for in your Co-op app:

• Brand-specific offers: Manufacturer coupons that Co-op passes on to members. Common examples include:
  

  • "50p off any McCain product" (could apply to whatever McCain item is in the current bundle)

  • "£1 off Birds Eye products when you spend £3+" (works if there are Birds Eye items included)

  • "Buy 2 Young's products, get £1.50 off" (useful when Young's products appear in deals)

  • "25% off all Magnum ice creams" (applies to whichever ice cream brand is featured)
    

  These offers usually last 2 - 4 weeks and are often tied to new product launches or seasonal promotions. The key is to check whether any of the brands in your current freezer deal have active offers running.
  

  Weekly personalised rewards: Co-op's algorithm tracks what you buy and creates a selection of targeted offers just for you. Each week, you'll get several options to choose from and can activate 2. These might include:
  

  • £1 off your next frozen food shop when you spend £8+

  • Double points on all frozen ready meals this week

  • 20% off frozen fish products

  • £2 cashback when you buy any three freezer items

  • 50p of X brand ice cream, which might also be on the freezer deal (happens a lot!)
    

  Once you've selected your two chosen offers in the app, they'll automatically apply at checkout when you buy qualifying products. The key is checking your weekly selection before you shop the freezer deal; you might find offers that stack with it, further reducing your cost.
  

For example, if there's a 50p off McCain offer running the same week as the freezer deal, you could potentially get the bundle for £5.50 instead of £6.

How to maximise your deal stacking opportunities:

1. Check your Co-op app before shopping to see your weekly personalised offer choices

2. Select any offers that could work with frozen food purchases, that you might be able to deal stack

3. Look for any brand-specific manufacturer coupons that match the current freezer bundle brands

4. All offers will apply automatically at checkout when you scan your membership card
   

The reality: This doesn't happen every time, but when it does, you can save even more money, which is great. So, it's worth checking your app each time you shop for the freezer deal or any other Co-op deal.

How Does Co-op's Deal Compare to Other Supermarkets?

Iceland: 10 for £10 Mix & Match

• The good: More choice, more items

• The downside: Lower-value individual items, more own-brand products, which 'may' not be as high quality as the branded versions

• Best for: Families who'll definitely use 10 items and aren't fussy about brands
  

Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, Sainsbury's:

• Usually offer individual frozen item discounts rather than bundles

• It can be cheaper if you only need 1-2 items

• Less convenient if you want to stock up quickly
  

My honest comparison: Co-op's deal works well if you want branded items and don't mind fewer choices than some rivals' deals offer. Iceland gives you more control, but you'll probably end up with more own-brand products.

The verdict: For convenience and brand quality, the Co-op remains a decent option. For choice and quantity, Iceland takes the lead.

Money-saving tip: You can make Iceland deals even better using gift card cashback services like JamDoughnut (though Iceland gift cards can't be used online).

Extra Ways to Save on Co-op Freezer Deals

Cashback Options:

• Complete Savings: Up to 10% cashback on Co-op purchases

• Chase Bank debit card: 1% cashback on all purchases (subject to Chase terms and conditions)

• Gift card cashback: Sadly, cashback isn't available, as Co-op doesn't participate in gift card cashback programs.
  

Student Discounts:

• England: Get a barcode from the Student Beans app (10% off in-store)

• Scotland: Use the Young Scot app for student discounts

• Important: Doesn't work on alcohol, lottery, or tobacco

• Limitation: Not available at self-service tills in some stores
  

What this could mean: If you're eligible for Complete Savings' 10% cashback, your £6 freezer deal could effectively cost £5.40. Combined with what you're already saving, that's even more money off your weekly shop.

The catch: Always ask before paying if you're using student discounts; not all stores participate. Staff discounts may not stack with membership prices.

My recommendation: If you're a student, definitely set up the Student Beans app before your first shop.

Is the Co-op Freezer Deal a Good Deal?

It depends on whether you'll make use of the items available in the pick-and-mix offer. For families like mine, it's still a solid deal.

Our 8-year-old is fussy, and having freezer staples like chicken dippers, chips, and ice cream provides us with easy, go-to meals that require minimal stress, especially when time is short!

It's not the most nutritious bundle, but it's filling, easy and affordable, and right now, those three things matter more than ever for many families, and after all they do say eat what you like, in moderation, so as long as these type of convenience foods aren't all you eat, you'll be fine when you also include healthier food in your diet.

Why This Deal Actually Matters for Real Families

Let's be honest about what's happening right now. Food prices have gone through the roof, and many families are making tough choices between heating and eating.

• Local food banks are seeing record demand

• School meals cover weekday lunches, but parents still need to find 10+ meals per week at home.

• A deal that turns £ 11-ish of food into £6 makes a genuine difference to weekly budgets.
  

Is it the healthiest option? Not always, no, but it's filling, affordable, and provides parents with reliable backup meals when money's tight or time's short.

The reality check: Sometimes "perfect" nutrition is a luxury families can't afford. Having fish fingers and chips in the freezer beats having empty cupboards.

My take: If these deals help a family get through a tough week, that matters more than food snobbery. You can balance things out with cheaper fresh veg when the budget allows.

This isn't about promoting processed food; it's about recognising that for many families, deals like this provide genuine relief when money's tight.

Can You Order The Co-op Freezer Deal Online?

Yes, the freezer deal is available on the Co-op website, but here's what you need to know:

• Same prices: £6 for members, £7 for non-members

• Delivery cost: From £1.99 (check for free delivery codes)

• Minimum order: Usually £15 for delivery

• Stock: Online availability can vary from in-store
  

The math: If you're only buying the freezer deal, delivery costs eat into your savings. But if you're doing a bigger shop anyway, online ordering can be convenient, and if you do have a membership, you can add other current Co-op deals such as their weekly discounts on selected fruit and vegetables, to add extra nutrition to the food your family eat, and of course save money too!

Co-op food delivery starts from £1.99. Check for promo codes or free delivery offers to help cut that cost.

Prices and availability may also vary online.

Frequently Asked Questions About Co-op Freezer Deals

How often does the Co-op freezer deal change?

The Co-op Freezer Favourites deal typically changes every 4 weeks or so. I've been tracking these deals for months, and while the timing can vary slightly, you can usually expect fresh products in the bundle about once a month. The best way to stay updated is through the Co-op app or by checking their website regularly.

Is the Co-op freezer deal available in all stores?

Not always. Co-op store offers vary by region. In my experience, I have two Co-op stores just two miles apart - one counts as a "Southern" store, the other doesn't, and they sometimes have different deals. This can be frustrating, but it's because Co-op isn't one single business - it's a group of separate co-ops, including Co-op Group, Southern Co-op, and Midcounties Co-op.

How much do you actually save with the Co-op freezer deal?

Based on my calculations, you typically save £3 - £7 per bundle. It's worth paying £1 to join the Co-op membership scheme to ensure you get your £6 deal instead of £7 each time.

Can you stack the Co-op freezer deal with other offers?

Sometimes, yes! This is one of my favourite money-saving tricks. Co-op members often receive extra weekly rewards, such as 50p off McCain products. If you're lucky, these deals stack with the freezer bundle, providing you with even greater savings. In my experience, this happens fairly often, so always check your app for additional coupons.

Is the Co-op freezer deal available online?

Yes, the Co-op Freezer Favourites deal is available both in-store and online via the Co-op website. However, non-members pay the same price online as they do in-store (£7), while members pay £6. Co-op food delivery starts from £1.99, so factor that into your savings calculation.

Which Co-op stores don't offer member prices?

Member prices aren't available in independent societies, such as Midcounties, Central England, Southern, or Chelmsford Star Co-operatives. They're also not available in Co-op franchise stores or non-Co-op branded shops, such as Nisa. This is why I recommend checking the Co-op store finder tool before making a special trip.

Is the Co-op freezer deal worth it for small families?

It depends on your freezer space and eating habits. For my family with a fussy 8-year-old, it's brilliant because we use everything. The frozen items keep well, so you're not under pressure to use them immediately. However, if you won't eat all five items, you might be better off buying individual products on offer elsewhere.

How does the Co-op freezer deal compare to Iceland's offers?

Both offer great value, but they serve different purposes. Iceland often runs 10 for £10 Mix & Match deals, which give you more choice, while Co-op's bundles are curated selections. In my testing, Co-op's deals often include premium-branded items, such as Birds Eye and McCain, whereas Iceland offers more own-brand options.

Can you buy multiple Co-op freezer deals at once?

Absolutely! There's no limit on how many bundles you can buy, as long as you have the freezer space. I know families who buy 2-3 deals at once to stock up. Remember that to qualify for the deal price, you must purchase all three items in each bundle as a single transaction.

When is the best time to shop for Co-op freezer deals?

I've found early morning or late evening works best to avoid sold-out items. Popular products like fish fingers often go quickly. If something appears sold out on the shop floor, always ask staff to check the back freezers. This tip has saved me several times when I thought I'd missed out on the deal.

Is the Co-op Membership Worth £1?

Short answer: Yes, if you'll use these deals more than twice!

The calculation:

• Membership saves you 50p per freezer deal, plus other discounts on other deals/products.

• Use the deal once and thats £1 saved, which covers the membership cost. And since you don't have to renew the membership, those discounts keep on coming long after you've paid!
