Dundee delivery app Snappy Shopper is giving families across Scotland the chance to top up lunch supplies on the cheap.
Snappy Shopper has partnered with 150 convenience stores nationwide to sell school lunch items for just 1p.
The promotion, which will run on August 21 and 22, is estimated to save Scottish families tens of thousands of pounds.
The offer will be available at both participating independent and group stores across Scotland while stocks last.
The transactions must go through the Snappy Shopper app.
Snappy Shopper’s 1p school lunch offer
It includes school packed lunch staples such as multipack crisps, yogurts, fruits, juices, a 400g loaf of bread and 100g of cold meat.
The delivery app firm has been working with stores to manage stock levels as it anticipates increased demand.
It follows a similar scheme in Fife where stores sold bread and milk for 1p to help people deal with the cost of living crisis.
‘Families are starting to feel the pinch’
Snappy Shopper co-founder Scott Campbell said: “We are absolutely delighted to help all our hard-working parents with some of the costs associated with our children’s return to school.
“It is no secret that the cost of living has been increasing. Many families are starting to feel the pinch.
“Our generous retailers have agreed to share the cost of providing a selection of packed lunch products for just a penny. We hope as many families as possible take advantage of this incredible offer.”
In Dundee Premier Nethergate owner Umayr Asif is among those taking part in the latest initiative.
He said the scheme will support families in the local community amid the cost of living crisis.
“We are thrilled to partner with Snappy Shopper on this back to school promotion,” Mr Asif said.
“With the rising cost of food and daily essentials this offer will go a long way.”
Snappy Shopper has been valued at more than £65 million and has plans to create hundreds of jobs.
