Tesco shoppers are just realising that it’s giving out free products and discounts on receipts
TESCO shoppers are just realising the supermarket is giving out free products and discounts on receipts.
Britain’s largest grocery store is known for giving shoppers discounters through its Clubcard rewards.
But many shoppers are unaware that receipts are always a great way to nab a bargain.
In the past, eagle-eyed customers have gotten free Pampers nappies worth £10 just by checking their receipt.
Speaking at the time, the mum said: “It pays to always select receipt at Tesco, you never know what free offer would come your way”.
If you find a freebie on your receipt you will then need to hand it over to a store worker to claim your item.
Its important to always check how long the offer is valid for to ensure you do not miss out.
More often than not you need to be a Clubcard member to see these freebies on your receipts.
Tesco Clubcard is a free loyalty program that allows members to earn points for money off shopping at Tesco.
As well as reeving free samples, shoppers can also get coupons which help you save on the shop.
You can find these coupons in your Tesco app or on your Clubcard statement.
These offers are based on your shopping habits so they will vary from person to person.
For example, a coupon may give you money off extra points of money off when you buy a certain product.
Some can be used both in-store and online.
While others may only be used either online or in-store, scanned at the till, or along with your Clubcard.
A spokesperson for Tesco told The Sun: “Clubcard unlocks the best value from Tesco.
“Our Clubcard Coupons are just one of the ways that we help our Clubcard members save on their Tesco shop.”
SUPERMARKET FREEBIES
And its not just Tesco that gives away personalise freebies to loyalty shoppers.
M&S shoppers could not believe their luck after learning they could pick up a packet of their Outrageously Chocolatey Milk Chocolate Biscuits for nothing.
The biscuits typically costs £6 at M&S stores.
To qualify for the offer you first need to be a Sparks Member, which is M&S’s free loyalty scheme and also signed up to its parenting club.
It gives shoppers the chance to get offers that are tailored to them.
In the past, Sainsbury’s has also given vouchers to its Nectar Card holders to pick up free items such as fabric softener.
The vouchers usually print off at the till along with your receipt, so it is always worth keeping an eye out to ensure your don’t miss them.
How to save 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.

England U21 star targets double success but refuses to rule out switch to rival nation after first goal
HAYDEN HACKNEY is desperate for double joy with Middlesbrough and England – but refuses to rule out a Scottish switch.
The 22-year-old midfielder, set to face Oxford United today, has become one of the hottest commodities in the Championship due to his displays for his hometown club.
Hackney carried that form onto the international stage and scored his first goal for England U21s in this week’s 4-2 victory over Portugal.
He looks certain to be part of Lee Carsley’s squad that will try to defend the U21 European Championship crown in June.
The star previously won two caps for Scotland U21s, who he qualifies for through his mother, before switching his allegiance to the Three Lions in 2023.
Scotland have not given up hope of persuading him to represent them at the senior level, and Hackney is not shutting that door, although for now he is concentrating on a promotion push and potential Euro joy.
When quizzed on his international future, Hackney said: “I haven’t really thought about it, to be honest. I’m quite relaxed about it. Whatever happens, happens.
“There will be a time where I’ll have to make a decision.
“I’ve been focused on Middlesbrough really. So I haven’t really had much time to think about it.”
Hackney is the latest youngster at Boro to start attracting attention from elsewhere following past successes such as Morgan Rogers and Djed Spence.
BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS
Portuguese giants Porto had a £9million deadline day offer rejected by the Championship club and a host of Premier League sides are monitoring his progress.
Though he is shutting out all of that noise and focusing on achieving his dream of getting his boyhood club back into the Premier League after an eight-year absence.
Hackney, who recently took to the stage alongside teammate Tommy Conway and boss Michael Carrick at a local social club in the first of the club’s On The Road events, said: “That is the ultimate dream.
“To take Boro to the Premier League, that would be everything that I wished for as a kid. And then to play with Boro in the Premier League would be unbelievable.”
And former season ticket holder Hackney, who has surpassed 100 Boro appearances, has already shown he can cut it against the big boys.
Last January he captained the club for the first time in the FA Cup against Aston Villa before scoring the winner in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win over Chelsea four days later.
On those experiences, he added: “That Chelsea game was a special night. I think my family and all my friends came back to mine that night but once they’d left I couldn’t sleep. That was a great night.
“That Villa game, I remember the armband was on my peg. But then the captain normally hands out the tickets before the game for the players but I didn’t get that job, so then I was like, ‘oh, is this in the wrong place or not?’.
“He (Carrick) didn’t really say anything. After he’d done his team talk before we went out, he just pulled me and said, ‘don’t change anything, don’t be a different person, just be yourself and enjoy the moment’.”

Monaghan GAA star ‘is like son to me’ after sudden death of his dad that ‘took years to get over’, says Gabriel Bannigan
FOOTBALL guided Monaghan boss Gabriel Bannigan through the darkest of days.
His nephew, current skipper Micheál, was due to make his Farney minor championship debut for the defending provincial champions on May 24, 2014 at just 16 years of age.
The youngster’s proud dad Owen had arranged the tickets for the family to attend the Newry clash.
But what they hoped would be an on-pitch triumph turned into an off-field tragedy.
The day before the game, Owen suffered a brain haemorrhage and passed away suddenly.
The match with Tyrone was postponed as a mark of respect as the Bannigan family tried to process the huge loss.
When it did take place on June 21, Monaghan won 3-8 to 0-16 — in a repeat of the previous year’s final — with Micheál lining out at full-forward.
His uncle watched on from the stands at Armagh’s Athletic Grounds.
Gaelic football has carried brother and son through their grief since.
Micheál, 27, made his senior Monaghan debut in 2017, scoring three points in a Dr McKenna Cup win over Fermanagh.
He has been an ever-present since and was named captain this year.
Gabriel was chosen as a selector for Vinny Corey’s management team in 2023 and succeeded the Clontibret man a month after he stepped down last August.
An immediate return to the top flight has already been secured in Bannigan’s first season in charge and the Farney are hitting Croke Park for tonight’s NFL Division 2 final against Roscommon.
And Gabriel knows his brother will be there in spirit.
Bannigan said: “I’m incredibly proud of Micheál. He’s like a son to me.
“Owen and myself were very, very close. Owen was such a proud dad when Micheál was due to make his debut for the Monaghan minors in Newry against Tyrone.
“Owen was my hero and role model and from a footballing point of view, I just wanted to grow up and be like Owen.”
“It was going to be the curtain-raiser to Down and Tyrone in the Ulster Championship.
“Me and him had made arrangements, Owen organised the tickets. We’d made arrangements to go to Newry and I got the phone call on the Friday — a phone call I’ll never forget.
“They said that Owen was after being taken to the hospital and to get on the road.
“I got on the road and when I was driving, my other brother Paudie rang me to tell me that Owen was dead.
“A brain haemorrhage, it was a sudden death and it’s something that obviously I’ll never forget. It took me years to get over it.
“Football definitely helped me and I’m sure it’s helped Micheál too.”
BROTHERLY LOVE
Gabriel and Owen clashed, as all siblings do, mainly over soccer.
Gabriel supports Leeds, Owen’s team were their arch-rivals Manchester United.
But the pair put their club differences aside when it came to country as they followed the Boys in Green.
Bannigan revealed: “Me and him spoke every day on the phone, except when Leeds knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup . . . he didn’t answer the phone for three weeks!
“We travelled to a lot of Ireland soccer games and travelled abroad for them.
“We went to a lot of games in the old Lansdowne Road when Jack Charlton was manager.
“Owen was my hero and role model and from a footballing point of view, I just wanted to grow up and be like Owen.
“It’s nice having a family connection with the team and Micheál as a player there. That’s a nice dynamic.”
Owen was also a Fine Gael councillor and a pillar of the community in Monaghan, but Aughnamullen came first.
Bannigan said: “Aughnamullen was in his blood, it was in his bones, it was everything. It was his life, that’s where he was living.
“Owen did huge work in the club. He was the main driving force behind the development of the stand, the club rooms, the social centre that was opened. He was the driving force behind all of that.
“He was six years older than me. Owen had stayed at home on the farm, so he was the guy at home.
“I was the guy that went off in my career in the bank and ended up in Dublin.
“I think if you knew me, you’d know that if you cut me, I’m Monaghan through and through.”
PRICELESS EXPERIENCE
Bannigan’s time in the capital, when he held several senior positions in Bank of Ireland, included a stint as manager of St Sylvester’s — whom he guided to a Division 1 title in 2010 — and a three-year spell at Kilmacud Crokes that ended in 2017.
Home beckoned in 2020 and the success continued.
He guided Aughnamullen to the Monaghan JFC title that year and took them from junior to senior in three seasons. And then Corey came calling.
His experience in the backroom team, coupled with his club CV, left him well primed to step up upon Corey’s departure. The right backroom team was key, as John McElhone and former Farney skipper Damien Freeman came aboard.
He said: “The two years I spent with Vinny obviously gave me a really good grounding in terms of what to expect in terms of all the different aspects that you have to manage.
“I’ve been dealing with players all my life. So, I think people management and player engagement is a huge part of an inter-county manager’s job.
“I didn’t have any fears in relation to that.
“I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in people management — both in business and in sports for a long number of years.
“That was a lot of experience to draw on, so I wasn’t worried about that. So, no, I’m enjoying it.”
The addition of Mayo legend Andy Moran has been a game-changer and Bannigan is in awe of the former Leitrim chief and 2017 Footballer of the Year’s hunger for the game.
He added: “A mutual friend recommended Andy when I was putting my team together and from the first moment I spoke to him we just talked football non-stop.
“He loves Gaelic football, and so it’s great to work with somebody like that. He has added enormous value.
“The most important thing was to get the right calibre of person on the management team and I was fairly confident that we could be successful if we got the right men.”

‘It can light a fire’ – Ruaidhri Fallon reveals Roscommon using Armagh’s All-Ireland win as inspiration for league final
RUAIDHRÍ FALLON hopes Armagh’s All-Ireland title success can fire up Roscommon this year.
The Rossies are in tonight’s Division 2 showpiece against Monaghan as they return to Croke Park, where they were beaten by the Orchard in the Championship quarter-final last summer.
Fallon’s sending-off just before half-time in that 2-12 to 0-12 loss was a huge moment as Davy Burke’s men saw their season end and Kieran McGeeney’s team went on to lift Sam Maguire.
Roscommon last won an All-Ireland in 1944 but teams who won promotion from Division 2 have gone on to land the big one in each of the last two seasons.
And even though one of those was a Dublin side packed full of serial Sam winners, Fallon thinks the trend shows that anyone can spring from the pack — and he hopes the men in primrose and blue can be that team in 2025.
The St Brigid’s man said: “It really can light a fire. It’s great for everyone to think they have a chance.
“There’s a lot of teams, including ourselves, that have gained confidence from someone like Armagh doing what they did last year, especially when it was us lined up against them in the quarter- final and that day went the way it did.
“We didn’t perform to the best of our ability, but on a different day that could have gone differently. That’s the spin on things that we’re looking at. Internally, the confidence is very good.
“We were saying during the week, I think there’s probably 19 or 20 of us that don’t have a national medal.
“Any day that you get to line out in Croke Park for your county and contest a cup or a medal to be able to walk up the steps is a very special day.”
Fallon, 22, ditched a promising Connacht rugby career to return to his first love of GAA in 2022 and made his SFC debut for the Rossies a year later.
Roscommon previously won the Division 2 crown in 2022 but their last provincial title was in 2019.
Fallon hailed the older heads such as Niall Daly, 33, Conor Cox, 31, Diarmuid Murtagh, 30, and Donie Smith, 32, who are still soldiering with Burke’s men — but says the onus is on the young guns to fire them to silverware.
He said: “I think the generation of older players on our panel at the moment right now are massive, massive role models to all the younger players.
“It’s time for the next generation to step up.
“What they’ve done for Roscommon and Roscommon football over the last ten years has been absolutely unbelievable. It’s the least we could do. They lit the fire originally but we have to keep it going.”
