‘Gotta get myself to Tesco!!' parents say as supermarket slash the price on cribs, high chairs & other baby essentials

The Suna day ago
BEING a first-time parent can get expensive quickly.
From buying pushchairs, car seats and highchairs, your money is gone in a blink of an eye when you become mum or dad.

Fortunately, Tesco currently has lots of baby essentials that are slashed in price that parents will want to grab.
One mum, Emma Black, took to social media to notify others of the deal.
She wrote: "Some great deals on baby items in Tesco with a Clubcard!"
The first product she found was the Joie bedside crib which usually retails for £160 but is currently just £64 with the loyalty card.
The bedside crib is one of the most highly rated ones for parents.
It allows you to sleep side-by-side with your baby while still giving you both your own space to comfortably move around in.
Suitable for newborns up to 9kg, it features a single-hand glide and sliding side panel so you can soothe your baby without leaving your bed.
The one-touch glide lock lets you secure Roomie Glide in place once your little one is fast asleep and you're done rocking.
It also comes with mesh windows on each side as well as four lockable wheels to move the crib around easily.
Also on offer is the Graco highchair, which is just £60 with a Clubcard instead of £150.
shoppers go wild for Tesco's perfect summer co-ord
The Graco DuoDiner DLX 6 in 1 also converts to a dining booster seat, youth stool, and table.
The high chair will see you through the toddler years for multiple occasions.
"So many other baby items on offer with Clubcard too," Emma alerted parents.
The post was shared on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, which boasts over 2.6 million members.
A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys.
According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random.
The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit.
If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check.
This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft.
So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.
Parents were quick to thank Emma for sharing the deals.
One person wrote: "Wow. Will see if I can order now. Or go after work."
"That's cheap with Clubcard," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "We need one of these and they're cheaper now."

The staggering increase in Britain's parking fines

Councils and private parking companies are fining more motorists each year than there are vehicles on the roads, The Telegraph can reveal. There were 44.8 million applications made to trace car owners in 2024/25, according to an analysis of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data. That is far exceeding the 33 million vehicles registered in the UK. The release of those 44 million drivers' details is nearly double the applications made six years ago, when 23 million documents were disclosed. The huge increase in DVLA applications is believed to be linked to the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs), as well as clean air zones and London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. The analysis, which also revealed that eight of the top 10 most local authorities accessing such data are Labour-run, came after it was estimated that motorists are annually footing £2 billion of fines. The Telegraph obtained seven years of statistics from the Government agency's Keeper At Date of Event database, which holds information about a vehicle owner. Organisations and councils can request the owner of a registration plate if they believe a vehicle is in breach of road or parking rules and restrictions. Those details are invariably used to issue penalty charge notices (PCNs). But the fact that the number of applications is higher than vehicles on the road means that details are obtained repeatedly by different authorities and organisations. The data show the number of applications lodged each year, but do not reveal whether a fine is dropped or successfully appealed. The number of applications exceeded the number of cars on the road for the first time in 2022, a year after the Tory government announced its ' green transport revolution ', encouraging councils to introduce LTNs, which ban out-of-town motorists from local roads. The total number of licence checks by local authorities rose by a third from 10.6 million in the financial year 2018/19 to 14.1 million in 2024/25. Birmingham city council – one of Europe's largest authorities with 1.2 million residents – last year applied for 831,860 keepers' details. The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham obtained 576,000 such logs, despite being a vastly smaller council with about 185,000 residents. The Labour-run west London authority has been accused of behaving ' like Big Brother ' after it unveiled a high-tech CCTV camera network capable of raising £15 million a year from motorists and making more than £1 million in fines from just two LTNs. Bristol city council, which has no overall political party in control but introduced a clean air zone in 2022, had the third highest number, with 420,350 files obtained, Manchester City Council was fourth with 379,900, and then came the Labour-run London boroughs of Islington (355,000), Lambeth (352,700), Haringey (329,600), Hackney (316,100) and Southwark (310,100). Tenth position was held by Croydon council, where a Tory mayor once admitted he would struggle to remove the London borough's unpopular LTNs because the income raised was key to helping the cash-strapped council. Transport for London, which enforces the capital's red routes and low-emission zones, obtained more than five million vehicle ownership details in the last financial year. A Birmingham city council spokesman said its sheer size and the high number of visitors meant it would be 'expected to rank high on the list'. The city has introduced numerous LTNs and a clean air zone. A Hammersmith and Fulham council spokesman said: 'Like all busy inner London boroughs, we have the highest number of junctions and traffic volumes per mile. So it's not surprising that we inevitably end up with higher rates of rule-breaking from motorists – especially with those cutting through our borough.' A DVLA spokesman said they could not speculate on the reasons behind the rise in requests, adding: 'We take our responsibility to protect people's personal information seriously and have robust safeguards in place around the release of data. The law allows vehicle keeper details to be released to those who have a legal basis to receive it.'

Ministers heading for union clash in bid for hi-tech rail travel

Ministers want to bring a Google-style mindset to the railways to harness new technology, in a move that could tee up a clash with trade unions. GBRX — a new tech agency within the forthcoming Great British Railways body — will draw inspiration from Google owner Alphabet to create 'a more dynamic, efficient and customer-focused railway', according to a briefing document seen by The Sunday Times. The agency will help 'break the pattern of slow adoption that has historically held our railways back', according to comments from Lord (Peter) Hendy, the rail minister, in the document. 'Much of that delay is due to fragmentation, contractual complexities and the way our system operates.' The document cites the roll-out of digital signalling, which took 20 years, as an example of the industry's 'inertia' and slow embrace of new technology.
