Savvy mums are bagging free breakfasts at Morrisons this half term – you’ll need to know a secret phrase to nab yours

ASK any parent and they’ll be sure to agree that half term can be an expensive time.

Whether it’s coming up with plans to keep the kids entertained or simply keeping their bellies full, your bank balance can quickly feel the effects.

However, there's a fantastic freebie waiting for you at Morrisons this half-term but you’ll need to know a secret phrase.

Thanks to their collaboration with Warburtons, you can munch on free crumpets with butter and jam at the supermarket cafe.

All you've got to do is when you visit Morrisons’ in-store café from 23rd October to 5th November 5, "ask for Ellen".

It's back by popular demand after a triumphant summer run which saw a whopping 200,000 portions of these delicious crumpets being handed out in a bid to help struggling families.

The name might seem quirky, but there's history behind it. The initiative pays homage to Ellen Warburton, co-founder of the renowned company, Warburtons. 

The company’s ethos revolves around giving back, as evidenced by their donations of over one million bakery products in the past year alone.

While you're at it, remember Morrisons' other fab offer: the Kids Eat Free promotion. Spend £4.50 or more on an adult meal and your little one eats free. Every penny saved.

To sum up this crumptastic deal, Tom Church, Co-Founder of shopping community, commented, "A brilliant way for families to enjoy a treat while stretching the budget. When brands like Morrisons and Warburtons collaborate for a good cause, consumers win."
