In a world where the cost of living is a constant concern, SPAR Scotland is proud to offer great value deals across all categories. From household names to trusted local Scottish suppliers, the Big Deals of Summer campaign showcases SPAR's commitment to delivering market-leading prices on everyday essentials.
As Paula Middleton, head of marketing at CJ Lang & Son Ltd, explained: 'The campaign is all about giving our shoppers outstanding value during the summer holiday season and supports one of SPAR Scotland's key strategic pillars – delivering value on your doorstep.'
With deals available while stocks last and in selected stores, customers are encouraged to make the most of these savings while they can.
Summer can be a juggling act – schools are out, and kids are in the house more often and they are eating constantly, parents managing holiday clubs, packed lunches, and trying to make the most of family time.
SPAR Scotland understands these pressures and has tailored the Big Deals of Summer to help families manage their budgets while still enjoying the season.
From snacks and drinks to meal solutions and treats, SPAR Scotland has the essentials to keep everyone happy. And when the grown-ups finally get a chance to relax – whether it's in the garden with a glass of something cold or in front of the TV after a busy day – SPAR is there with everything they need to make those moments special too.
SPAR Scotland's commitment to local communities goes beyond just great deals. With a mix of company-owned and independent stores, each location plays a role in its neighbourhood – whether it's supporting local suppliers, raising money for charity, or hosting fun in-store events as part of the campaign.
And with a comprehensive marketing plan behind the scenes – including social media, Spotify ads, influencer partnerships, and even in-store parties – SPAR Scotland is making sure customers feel the summer buzz, no matter the weather.
From BBQ essentials to packed lunch must-haves, the Big Deals of Summer is here to help shoppers across Scotland save money and make the most of the summer season.

Tougher rules needed for utility firms digging up roads, MPs say
A new watchdog should also be appointed to manage the disruption caused by firms carrying out work on pipes and cables in England. Transport Committee chairwoman Ruth Cadbury said a pattern of repeated works can feel like a 'recurring nightmare' for road users. Under current rules, utility firms are responsible for the quality of the road surfaces they have reinstated for two years after works have completed, or three years in the case of deeper excavations. The committee called for that period to be extended to five years so council tax payers do not have to pick up the bill for repairing potholes caused by shoddy remediation work. Other recommendations from the committee included: – Tighter use of immediate permits enabling companies to dig up roads with little or no notice given to the local authority. – A new streetworks commissioner, similar to the Scottish roadworks tsar, to monitor performance and resolve disputes. – The wider use of lane rental schemes, charging firms up to £2,500 a day to incentivise quicker completion of works. – Better co-operation so utility firms and housing developers can work on the same bit of road at the same time rather than have repeated closures. Labour MP Ms Cadbury acknowledged that ageing infrastructure under the roads needed to be maintained and upgraded and extra cables and pipes were required for new homes. 'But as every road user knows, street works can feel like a recurring nightmare,' she said. The committee's recommendations would make a huge difference if they were implemented, she said. 'Upping the quality of reinstatement works will help stem the never-ending plague of potholes on local roads. 'Lane rental schemes should provide a financial incentive to complete works on time. 'And longer-term planning and earlier notification should help councils prevent the infuriating occurrence of multiple roads being closed in one locality, or the same road being dug up multiple times in one year.' A Department for Transport spokesman said: 'We wholeheartedly agree that streetworks are far too disruptive for drivers and that is why we have taken action to prevent the impact on drivers. 'We've cracked down on streetwork companies overrunning or leaving roads poorly repaired by ramping up fines and giving local authorities new powers to coordinate roadworks more efficiently and will put measures in place so 50% of surplus lane rental funds must be invested into highway maintenance. 'We are determined to end the pothole plague, which is why we are already investing £1.6 billion this year to help local authorities resurface local roads and fix the equivalent of up to seven million extra potholes this year.'
