They are good for Yoyo, they&#8217;re great for Pizza Express, but they also give you 10% off at Co-op supermarkets. Now, this is crucial as a resident of the student-filled Hull Road. The Co-operative Food is minutes away from my front door while Aldi &#8211; which was the obvious choice when living on campus &#8211; is not worth the trek just for some baked beans. No, Co-op suits my laziness and gives me 10% off with my NUS card as well as an extra 5% off with my Co-op card. On top of that, they seem to love giving me coupons, to the point of me expecting them every time.
