How to save money at Tesco
Save time by scanning as you shop
Most Tesco stores now offer a Scan as you Shop service, which means you can scan items with a barcode scanner as you walk around the supermarket.
You put your items straight into a bag and pay at a designated payment area once you’ve finished your shop.
It’s a good way to help you track your spending as you walk around the store.
And because you’re packing as you go, it saves having to waste time bagging everything up at the end.
As an extra bonus, Clubcard members can get one point for every £1 spent using Scan as you Shop.
The best time for finding yellow sticker discounts
Yellow stickers mean an item has been reduced in price, often because it’s close to the sell-by date or because it’s been damaged.
If you have a big freezer at home, and the food can be frozen, then the yellow sticker items are a great way to stock up on top brands for less.
There are no hard and fast rules when yellow sticker items will appear.
Some big stores start reductions at 8am, while others don’t start until early evening.

Join its Clubcard scheme
You earn points as you shop, which can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or with Reward partners.
You earn one point for each £1 spent, and each point is then worth 1p.
So 150 points gets you £1.50, and you would have to spend £150 to get 150 points.
You need a minimum of 150 points to request a voucher.
Any vouchers are worth their face value when used in-store at Tesco.
But you can double their worth by spending them at one of the supermarket chain’s partners.
Any Clubcard points turned into vouchers expire after two years.
Any vouchers transferred into Reward Partner codes expire after six months.
Loyalty card holders also get access to over 8,000 items for less through Clubcard Prices.
It comes after Tesco revealed it is selling a summer item for just £6 and it will help keep you cool at night.
And shoppers are racing to their nearest store after a savvy shopper spotted two deals perfect for summer.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
