Nisa offers family dinner for less

The family-friendly meal solution, which is available in stores until 15th February, features everything needed to whip up a quick and easy evening meal for just £7, helping partners to drive sales in the coming weeks.


Shoppers can pick a main course which the choice of Co-op Creamy Chicken & Leek Bake 1kg or Co-op Italian Style Meatball Bake, and any two of the included Co-op side dishes; Skinny Fries 250g, Crispy Potato Slices 300g, Spring Greens, and Carrot & Baby Corn Medley 240g, for just £7. That’s a potential saving of up to £5.33 off the RRP.

Nisa’s new Fresh Thinking approach has placed a greater focus on meals and planned Missions for the year ahead, whilst dialling up value where it matters.

“Consumers are naturally more budget-conscious during this time of year and the increasing worries around rising costs of living mean a lot of purse strings will be even tighter than usual. Because of this shoppers will be attracted to money-saving deals in-store regardless of their shopping mission,” said Chris Walker, Nisa’s Offline Marketing Lead.

“We are confident that the promotion will provide much needed meal inspiration to shoppers and help to drive additional basket spend for our retail partners this month.”

Holyrood can boost growth through small retail in Budget – SGF

The Scottish Grocers’ Federation (SGF), the Trade Association for the Scottish Convenience sector, said that small retailers are desperate to invest in their businesses, and take advantage of new technologies and sustainable practices, but many stores are now struggling to stay viable.

SGF has called on the Scottish Finance Secretary to ensure that 40% reliefs on Non-Domestic Rates announced for retail businesses south of the border are passed on to Scottish stores. Alongside the extra reliefs, SGF say that the Scottish Government should focus on growth by ringfencing funding through the Small Business Bonus Scheme and freezing poundage for the foreseeable future.

“The Scottish Government has a real opportunity to boost growth in communities across Scotland, and help rejuvenate town centres, by passing on the NDR reliefs announced by the Chancellor," said SGF Chief Executive, Dr Pete Cheema OBE.

“In past years, convenience stores in England have benefited from 75 per cent reliefs, that support has dropped to 40 per cent this year, but it could still be crucial in helping put the Scottish Economy back on track.

“Many SGF members, and small store across Scotland, are facing a raft of challenges. Alongside increases to National Insurance Contributions, hire wage rates, higher inflation, energy costs and the cost-of-living crisis. Not to mention a pile on of regulation across a range of product categories.

“Scottish Businesses have been operating at an economic disadvantage to our counterparts in England. Sorting out the damaging impact of business rates on economic growth and small business in Scotland is a no brainer.”

SGF has also called for an uplift for Police Scotland and Scottish Justice to help tackle the sharp increase in retail crime which is having a significant impact on business viability.
