Martin Lewis' MSE shares Clubcard trick to turn £5 worth of points into £30
Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert has shared a simple trick that can boost your Clubcard balance, and it's a 'no-brainer'.
Until the end of the month, Tesco is offering an extra 1,000 points (worth £10 when spent in Tesco) to anyone who swaps 500 Clubcard points (worth £5) for a Days Out Reward Partner code, which offer customers tickets to a range of UK attractions.
Tesco Clubcard already allows members to double the value of their points when they exchange them for a Reward Partner code — and now, you'll get an extra 1,000 points, equivalent to £10, too.
This means, for just 500 points you'll end up with the £10 Days Out code, plus the bonus 1,000 points.
Even if you're not planning on going on your day out, it's still worth it, as you don't need to book or attend anything to get the bonus.
The code can get you £10 of partner vouchers to redeem against tickets for places including Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The London Eye, Chessington World of Adventures and more.
Then, if you're really savvy, you could use the 1,000 bonus and exchange for another Rewards Partner voucher — this time, from any of the supermarket's partners — which will then be doubled to the value of £20, as per Tesco's regular policy.

This means that with just the 500 points (or £5) you started with, you've ended up with vouchers equivalent to £30.
The 1,000 bonus offer is only available until Tuesday July 29, and shoppers can expect to see the bonus hitting their Clubcard accounts by October 19.
The Days Out Reward Partner codes are valid for six months, so you can use them later in the year, while the Tesco Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years. More Trending
However, MSE has yet another clever trick to extend Clubcard vouchers.
If your Clubcard vouchers are due to run out and you don't want to use them yet, you can simply spend a small amount, and the remaining balance is credited back to your Clubcard as points.
MSE confirms they'll then be reissued as a new voucher with an expiry date of up to two years in the future. So, if you spend 50p from a £10 voucher, you'll get £9.50 as new vouchers.

'There's no min spend, but the aim's to shell out as little as possible,' the website states. 'A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher (worth £1 at your chosen restaurant).'

Asda shoppers rush to buy ‘absolute bargain' garden furniture perfect for relaxing in your garden this weekend
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ASDA shoppers have spotted a mega bargain on a piece of garden furniture that's perfect for the warm weather. A savvy shopper posted on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK that they'd managed to get a pack of two Zero Gravity Sun Loungers for just £12. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Zero Gravity Sun Loungers have an impressive five-star rating on the Asda website Credit: Asda The loungers had been reduced to clear in their local Asda in Canterbury, Kent. On the Asda website they're still £59 plus postage. It's important to remember that stock and pricing can vary across stores, and you might not find the same deals in your local store. Others in the Facebook group said they would be rushing to Asda to look out for the bargain. "I need these loungers," one person said. Another wrote: "I love them loungers I paid £50 about 5 weeks ago, so you got a right bargain x." The loungers have multiple reclining positions and come with a multi-adjustable back and foot rest. They also have weather resistant fabric and an adjustable pillow for head and neck support. Plus, they can fold up for easy storage. The chairs have an impressive review rating of five stars on the Asda website. Asda fined £640,000 for selling out-of-date food in UK stores One reviewer said they are "really comfortable and take up hardly any space when folded". Another said: "I've had these for a few weeks now and I love them. They're really sturdy and easy to use. Really impressed for the price paid." A third person added: "Absolutely brill love them so comfy x." Don't miss out... Visit The Sun's shopping home and garden hub for more news, deals and tips. For more discounts and recommendations from the Sun Shopping team, sign up to our newsletter and join the WhatsApp group. Other options worth considering This looks to be a great bargain but if you're unable to find it in your local store, it's always worth shopping around for other deals. For example Dunelm is selling a Set of 2 Helsinki Loungers for £48.30, down from £69. They come with a choice of two colours, Lilypad or Navy. Just like the Asda chairs, they have overwhelmingly positive reviews and scored 4.6 out of 5 stars. "Really comfortable relaxing garden chairs would highly recommend them," one person said. Another wrote: "These chairs are so comfortable and very sturdy, good value for money Such a lovely colour." Meanwhile Tesco sells a Set of 2 Multi Position Garden Zero Gravity Relaxer Chair Sun Lounger. They come in a Mixed Grey colour and cost £49.95 for the pair. Each of the chairs also features a detachable cup holder tray that fixes onto the side so you can enjoy a drink at the same time. Another option at Tesco is the Outsunny 3PC Zero Gravity Chairs Sun Lounger Table Set Dark Grey. This set is slightly more expensive at £54.99 but it also includes a side table. Plus, each of the chairs has a padded headrest.

How to decipher the secret supermarket codes & change the way you shop to guarantee your fresh food last longer
HAVE you ever noticed mysterious letters and numbers on your fruit and veg labels? A bargain hunter has revealed they're not random, and they actually secret codes which reveal how fresh the items are. 5 5 Once you learn to decode them, you'll never accidentally buy older produce again. Grace Forell, who runs The Sustainable Spender, shared: 'Learn the 'secret' codes to help you find the freshest fruit + veg at the supermarket. 'In the absence of a best before date, using these codes can help you find the freshest fruit & veg at the supermarket.' First up are Tesco and Asda, whose 'freshness date' is a letter to represent the month, and a number for the date. Grace explained: 'The letter correlates to the month and A=January, B=February, etc, so right now we're in H for August. 'The number is the day.' Meanwhile, at Sainsbury's, the freshness date is hidden between a J and an S, and the numbers in between reveal the day and month. The money expert shared: 'At Sainsbury's, all the codes are bookended with J and S, so ignore these letters and look at the numbers in-between. 'This is the freshness date as DDMM.' Morrisons keeps it simple with the first letter showing the month, followed by the day as a number. Five tips to feed your family for less and save on your supermarket shop On her @graceforell account, she explained: 'So 'A' is for August, 'O' for October, and so on.' In conclusion, she added: 'Use this as a guide – but DON'T be put off by food sitting in your fridge or cupboard that has gone beyond the date on this code. 'This is not a use by date, it's simply a freshness guide.' Many people were hugely impressed with her supermarket hack, with one saying: 'Omg.' 5 5 LASTING LONGER TRICK The price of groceries seems to go up every month - and it can be frustrating when items go off before you've eaten them. However, there are some clever and easy tricks to making your food last 'three times longer' so you don't waste any cash, according to a savvy mum. Lyssa Louise, who posts under @ uploaded a video with her hacks, which has racked up 6,000 likes. She shared: 'I'm gonna show you how I keep all my fruit and veg lasting three times as long as if you just chucked it in the fridge. 5 'The main thing is getting everything out of these little plastic bags.' Her first tip was to remove mushrooms from their plastic wrapper and to put them in a paper bag so it 'absorbs all the moisture'. This helps to stop them 'from going slimy.' Next up she recommend that you 'keep all your jars', such as jam or pasta sauce when they are finished. Lyssa advised: 'Once something runs out, just keep hold of it, wash it out, and keep it. 'Put your berries, your tomatoes, and things like that in jars.' 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.
