Medium comes in at £65, or £45 for Clubcard holders, while the large is £75 but just £50 if you're signed up.

Just be aware that prices vary from store to store and depend on local stock, so it's worth checking your nearest Tesco or phoning ahead to ask if they've got any left.
The cabin case also meets strict EasyJet size rules, meaning you won't be hit with unexpected fees at the gate.

We rounded up the cheapest shops to buy suitcases this week.
It comes after shoppers recently went wild for a designer-style dupe spotted at Tesco, which looks just like the high-end Rimowa luggage beloved by celebs like Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Julianne Moore.
The celeb-favourite Rimowa Classic Cabin costs a jaw-dropping £1,130 but a savvy shopper took to TikTok after spotting a Tesco lookalike for a fraction of the price.
She showed off the find in a viral video and told followers: 'Get yourself down to Tesco because they've just brought out Rimowa-style suitcases and they are stunning!'
