Tesco shoppers say 'love this' as they notice surprise meal deal addition
In a new Facebook post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, one shopper shared a photo that showed you can choose an ice lolly as the snack option of your meal deal
Tesco shoppers are just realising that you can choose an ice lolly as part of your supermarket meal deal. Tesco charges £4 for a main, snack and drink, reduced to £3.60 if you have a Clubcard.
In a new Facebook post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, one shopper shared a photo that showed you can choose an ice lolly as the snack option of your meal deal.
The post shows that ice lollies such as Twisters and Mini Pops are included. They said: 'Tesco are now doing ice lollies in the meal deal (not sure if new this year or if I'm late to the party). Down in the Clubcard section of the freezers.'
The post quickly took off, with one person commenting: 'Love this!!!! Esp [especially] for summer.' Another said: 'I need to go there.' However, others pointed out that this isn't a new deal - in fact, it was around last year.
One worker also commented: 'Only selected stores I work in an extra an [sic] we dont have this offer on.' Others also said that Sainsbury's and Co-op have previously offered lollies with their meal deals too.
It comes as Tesco shoppers are being urged to use their Clubcard points before they expire at the end of this month. Tesco sends out Clubcard vouchers every three months - in February, May, August and November - and they are valid for two years.
This means the ones that are expiring on May 31, 2025, were first issued in May 2023. The supermarket has emailed a reminder to customers, saying: 'Your Clubcard vouchers are expiring soon. Don't forget to use them on your next shop.'
Tesco shoppers earn one Clubcard point for every £1 spent on groceries in stores and online, or one point for every two litres of fuel purchased at a Tesco petrol station.
You also get one point for every £1 spent with Tesco Mobile or for every £1 spent using a Tesco Clubcard Pay+ debit card, and one point for every £4 spent on a Tesco credit card.
You need a minimum of 150 points to get a Clubcard voucher, which will be worth £1.50 to spend at Tesco. But if you're not quite ready to use your vouchers yet, there is a trick to extend their life - and double their value.
It involves using your Clubcard points with a Tesco "Reward Partner" such as Thorpe Park, Pizza Express and the RAC. It you make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards webpage, your remaining Clubcard voucher balance will then be credited back to you as points.
These points will be turned into vouchers again when Tesco next issues you a Clubcard statement. You will need to do this for every voucher you have though - so it may not be worth it for smaller amounts. Tesco has around 20 million Clubcard members in the UK.
