If you shop at Tesco or just keep an eye on what the biggest UK retailer is doing, you’re in the right spot. Here we break down the most useful updates, from price cuts to new product lines, in plain English and without any fluff.
First up, the headline‑grabbing stuff. This month Tesco rolled out a fresh range of plant‑based meals that cost less than the regular meat versions. The launch includes a vegan chicken tikka masala, a beef‑free mince, and a dairy‑free cheese block. Early shoppers say the taste is surprisingly close to the real thing, and the price point is about 15% lower than comparable brands.
Another big move is the expansion of the Tesco Clubcard price‑drop scheme. Every week you’ll see a new set of items – usually everyday essentials like milk, bread, and toilet paper – marked with a £0.10‑£0.30 discount. The trick is to check the app daily; the deals change quickly and the savings add up.
On the tech side, Tesco’s online delivery slots have gotten a little easier to snag. After a long wait during the pandemic, the retailer introduced a “rapid‑reserve” option that lets you lock a one‑hour slot within minutes of placing an order. It works best if you’re flexible with your delivery day, but it’s a clear sign Tesco is listening to the complaints about missed slots.
Now that you know what’s on the shelf, let’s talk strategy. The simplest tip is to combine the Clubcard price‑drop with the weekly “buy one, get one free” deals. For example, grab a pack of family‑size cereal on a BOGO offer, then apply the Clubcard discount for an extra pound off. It’s a double dip that many shoppers overlook.
Don’t forget the Tesco Mobile bundle. If you already have a phone plan, switching to Tesco Mobile can earn you up to £50 in credit over the first six months. The catch? You need to bring your own device or pick a new one through the Tesco store, but the savings often outweigh the hassle.
For bigger savings, aim for the “Tesco Value” range. These products are manufactured by the same companies that supply the premium lines, but they’re packaged in no‑frills containers. The quality is comparable, and the price difference can be as much as 30%.
Finally, sign up for the Tesco newsletter. It lands straight in your inbox with exclusive coupon codes that aren’t posted on the website. Many of these codes are time‑limited, so act fast when you see a 10% off code for your next grocery run.
That’s the quick rundown. Keep checking back for fresh updates, and you’ll turn Tesco’s regular promotions into real money saved. Happy shopping!
Eighteen types of blended Irish cheeses have been recalled from Tesco and Spar stores due to a potential Listeria threat. Manufacturer JOD Food Products found possible contamination during routine checks. The recalled cheeses have best-before dates from May to July 2025. Consumers can return them to stores for a refund, with no receipt required, as advised by the UK Food Standards Agency.
