Tesco, Asda and Morrisons customers are being urged to use an "easy" trick when doing a food shop online.
The supermarkets are among a long list of retailers who offer a way to generate "extra cash" for deserving causes, without costing shoppers a penny extra. Buying things such as groceries and car insurance, or when booking hotels, can easily lead to a free donation.
Charity shopping platform easyfundraising wants more people to use its online service when buying items and goods as they can choose from thousands of charities and good causes.

But many don’t know this way of giving exists, meaning good causes are losing out to the tune of thousands of pounds. All it takes to get the cash in the charities’ pockets is for you to go to the easyfundraising website and sign up.
You can then use the portal to make purchases of which a slice will be given from the retailer to the charity you choose. Those who get their weekly groceries from Morrisons, Asda, Tesco or Sainsbury’s and shoppers at popular stores such as John Lewis and M&S are among those who can assist.
James Moir, the CEO of easyfundraising, told the ECHO: “With the help of more than 7,000 brands, shoppers can give to good causes simply from the items they are purchasing online. There are lots of different charities to support, from Macmillan Cancer Support to St Joseph’s College in Trent Vale.
"easyfundraising will help you make a donation to your preferred good cause simply through using our online service. In the current financial climate, with many charities suffering from a cost-of-living crisis and having to decide whether to cut back on support for those they help, any extra cash can really help.”
Since launching in 2005, the easyfundraising platform has raised more than £44 million for good causes. This includes more than £14,000 for the RSPCA and more than £3,500 for Save the Children. It has partnerships with more than 180,000 charities.
