PUMPKINS are a must during Halloween celebrations, and you can currently get one worth £2 for free using cashback.
The deal is offered to new and existing customers of cashback website TopCashback until October 31, or until 10,000 pumpkins have been claimed, whichever’s first.

All you need to do to get the free Halloween pumpkin is to first buy it yourself, and then show the cashback website your receipt in order to get the money back.
The pumpkins can be bought in any UK store or supermarket, and there’s no minimum spend, but you’ll only get up to £2 refunded.
Also keep in mind that the offer isn’t valid on online shopping, so make sure you keep hold of your receipt after you pop by the store.
Sadly, customers can only claim cashback for one pumpkin each.
Pumpkin prices at the big four supermarkets start from just 85p, so you’ll easily be able to get one for free thanks to the deal.
How to get a free pumpkin
- You’ll first need to create or sign into a TopCashback account.
- Once you’re a member, take a photo of your pumpkin receipt from any UK store and upload it on the TopCashback website before October 31. Another option is to download the TopCashback app and upload the receipt there
- The receipt must show the date and time of purchase, the store name as well as the amount spent
Keep in mind that it can take up to 30 days before you can withdraw the cashback to your bank account.
How to get cashback every time you shop
NOT using a cashback site or app means you are missing out every time you shop. Here are full-time bargain hunter Collette Jones’ best tips.
- Check out welcome offers: Cashback sites have amazing freebies for new customers, such as a takeaway from Just Eat or a Benefit beauty product
- Look for cashback on everything: You can claim on things such as MOTs, insurance, train tickets and holidays
- Save money at the supermarket: It’s a good idea to download apps Shopmium, Check-outSmart, Quidco ClickSnap, GreenJinn and TopCashback’s Snap and Save. Check out what is available, pick it up in-store and upload a photo of the receipt to get your cashback
- Combine cashback offers with promotions: Double savings and maximise cashback by matching third-party offers from cashback sites with in-store and online promotions. You can’t always use discount codes with cashback, but you can take advantage of sales and offers such as free gifts
- Download cashback notifiers: The website Honey has a great notifier. It sits in your browser, pops up when you click on a website that offers cashback and searches voucher codes
