Tesco is set to slash prices of loose bakery products by 50 per cent

Many retailers usually slap a yellow sticker on products before the sell-by date expires - meaning shoppers can pick up discounted goodies.
And people can make big savings on their shop.
Now, Tesco is set to slash prices of loose bakery products by 50 per cent, Yorkshire Live reports.
The deal has been spotted across the country by savvy shoppers on the Extreme Bargains UK Facebook Page.
A picture on the group showed shelves full of baked goods with a sign which read: "From 7pm, our loose bakery products are reduced by 50 per cent."
That means shoppers could get a £1.20 croissant for 60p, but items such as bread are not included in the offer.
A spokesperson for Tesco confirmed that the move was in a bid to reduce food waste at a time where households are financially struggling.
They added: "Markdowns on fresh products continue to be popular and help to prevent good food from going to waste. If we can't sell food, we redistribute it to charities and community groups, and offer it to colleagues for free."
Prices may vary from store to store but generally speaking this takes place from 7pm.
Tesco regularly gives shoppers a chance to pick up discounted food through yellow label stickers.
Save with secret codes
These are typically food items that are due to expire and then marked down in price at the end of the day.
Recently, the grocery giant has started giving away some of these discounted products for free at selected stores.
It began introducing the freebies across selected Express stores as part of a trial earlier this month.
Food marked "CS" is given away for nothing from 9:30pm onwards.
Therefore, the free products will only be made available to shoppers who visit these branches after this time.
The supermarket giant said it will continue giving some of the end-of-life products to charity as it currently does.
Staff will also get priority for the free products reduced earlier in the day.
However, any food leftover at this point will be free for shoppers to take home and enjoy.

Tesco launches Clubcard 'points millionaire' giveaway — but you need to act fast
Tesco has announced an exciting new promotion, giving Clubcard holders the chance to become an instant 'points millionaire'. To celebrate the supermarket loyalty scheme's 30th year, a million Virgin Points will be awarded to one lucky customer, which they can then be spent on holidays, flights, travel upgrades and experiences galore. For context, this top prize is enough for three nights (for two people) at the Mahali Mzuri luxury safari resort in Kenya's Maasai Mara, three nights at the Kasbah Tamadot retreat in the Atlas mountains, and six nights at Mont Rochelle in the heart of South Africa's wine region. Five runners up will also get 500,000 points each, equivalent to the value of around $7,000 (£5,174) according to Nerdwallet analysis. To be in the running, all you need to do is auto-exchange a minimum of 250 Clubcard points with Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. But you'll need to act fast, as the competition closes on July 20. Through auto-exchange – which you can set up on your Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club account – each Clubcard point you earn will automatically be converted into two Virgin Points with each quarterly statement.. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video And even if you don't win the big jackpot, all new Clubcard members who register before the deadline will get 5,000 bonus Virgin Points — every little helps, right? Alternatively, you can enter the draw by submitting a manual 'request Virgin points' order on the 'my points' section of your Clubcard account. The closing date to do this is also July 20. Kelly Best, managing director of product, customer experience and marketing at Virgin Red, said: 'We're thrilled to be celebrating Tesco Clubcard's 30th birthday with a truly extraordinary giveaway. 'At Virgin Red, we believe in rewarding our members in unforgettable ways, and what better way to do that than by giving them the chance to become a Points Millionaire.' This isn't the only new perk available to Clubcard holders right now either. Tesco also recently launched a new offer where those with electric vehicles can collect one reward point for every pound they spend on Pod chargers at the supermarket's car parks. More Trending At present, Pod operates roughly 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco car Parks across the UK. Shama Wilson, Tesco's group membership and loyalty director, commented: 'Our customers have long been able to collect points on fuel from Tesco, but with an increasing number of drivers switching to electric vehicles we are delighted that shoppers will now be able to collect Clubcard points when they charge their cars at our stores, thanks to our exciting partnership with Pod. 'You can now park at your local Tesco and top-up your electric vehicle while you shop, in the knowledge that you are collecting Clubcard points towards a future Tesco shop or to exchange with one of our Reward Partners.'

Tesco shopper fury as supermarket axes dinner staple from shelves
We reveal what other notable products have been discontinued below OUT OF STOCK OUT OF STOCK Tesco shopper fury as supermarket axes dinner staple from shelves Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TESCO will no doubt have sparked shopper fury after axing a dinner staple from shelves. The UK's biggest supermarket has discontinued the BBQ essential and own-brand line. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Tesco has discontinued its own-brand eight packs of beef sausages Credit: Tesco Tesco eight packs of beef sausages are no more after it is understood the supermarket stopped stocking them. The meaty item is also showing as "currently out of stock" on the chain's website. Customers can still buy six packs of Tesco Finest Aberdeen Angus Beef Sausages for £3 and four packs of Tesco Finest Pork and Beef smoked sausages for £4. Retailers often discontinue products to make way for newer items on shelves and based on sales and customer demand. Tesco recently confirmed it axed popular southern fried chicken flavour instant noodles, for example. The pack costed around 50p and was available in store and online, but was dropped and replaced with another chicken flavour shoppers could buy. Tesco also recently cut its own-brand tomato and basil soup from its chilled range. The retailer confirmed it had made the change because it adjusts its soup range across the year to reflect seasonal demand. Tesco shoppers were also shocked to find the supermarket no longer stocks six-pint cartons of milk. OTHER DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS The Sun exclusively revealed last month Cadbury's has axed Fry's Coffee Cream after first launching it in 2023. Weetabix discontinues popular cereal flavour Cadbury didn't say when the Fry's Coffee Cream multi-packs were discontinued - just that they were available while stocks lasted. Carlsberg Britvic has also axed Tango Dark Berry Sugar Free after customers reported struggling to find it on shelves. A spokesperson for the drinks maker said it stopped making the fizzy drink earlier this year. Meanwhile, Sainsbury's recently confirmed it had discontinued its Patisserie Valerie cake slices from branches. Aldi also axed its popular Deli smoke pork sausages across 100 stores leaving shoppers devastated. Lidl dropped beloved fridge essential Dairy Manor lactose-free skimmed milk from shelves recently too. Sainsbury's has also axed popular own-brand Meat Free Steaks to customer frustration. Baked goods giant Greggs recently caused a stir after dropping ham salad baguettes from menus, as exclusively revealed by The Sun. The lunch item was axed in favour of other fresh baguettes, despite its popularity among hungry shoppers. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
