Excluding things like bills, what/ where do you spend most of your money?
My top merchants from the last few months are pretty much always Aldi and ASOS 
What about you?

Always groceries 
Either use a discounter or a close-by Co-op, interspersed with the odd trip to Morrisons, Sainsbury’s or Tesco.
Haha too much of my money gets spent on food! 
Does the Co-op still have a loyalty scheme?

Yes, they have a scheme whereby every week you get to chose two out of 4 or 5 money-off coupons (usually something like 50p off) for selected items.
You also acrue some money from purchases of co-op own brand items; the sum can be redeemed against a while shop (or donated).
They also donate some money to a charitable cause selected by you (you can select from a mix of local and national causes, I think).
Win win for all, but overall the Co-op is in the pricier side so tend to just supplement my bigger shop or use the coupons for select items
Ah that does sound good - I’ve been asked at the till many a time, but haven’t ever bothered to get one. We have a Co-op across the road from us, so I’ll definitely look into it 
You almost broke on day 1… what’s the chances of you ordering a takeaway tonight? 
Last week we shared on socials that Emma users spend an average of £87 per month at Deliveroo.
Guessing you’re above that average?

I’d def. go for it @rebekah … it’s free, and we all know: every little helps
I think there might even be a bonus for new members going on at the moment… I recall having seen something along those lines in the latest weekly MSE newsletter
Only Co-Op Group*
*Midcounties Co-Op and some others are in the business of offering the loyalty scheme, but not the discounts
Oooohhhh 
I didn’t realise there are different types of Co-ops… Sigh.
Thanks for the clarification, @Recchan 
Yeah, I’m guessing you’re in London? They own everything there probably but in South West, Midcounties Co-Op is everywhere (we have I think one co-op group here)
Lol… noooo @Recchan , I am in Yorkshire

Sainsbury’s is a vastly superior supermarket so don’t be down

Haha, seems like we’re all in good company, spending mostly on groceries 
- my top merchant most months is Aldi 
though I tend to visit my local Tesco a fair bit too as it’s only a shortish walk away.

Here’s a question for you @notthemessiah…
If money was no object, where do you think you’d spend most of your money?
An excellent question! I’m not sure of the retailer/merchant, but it would almost certainly go on travel/holidays 
as I love to travel 
though my current budget (& Covid) means I can’t travel as much as I’d like!
I’m with you there - holidays are one of my favourite things to spend money on too 
Feeling quite sad that I don’t have any trips abroad planned for this year!
