Tesco shoppers reveal why they ALWAYS ask for receipts – and it's not for pricing errors
TESCO shoppers are sharing the savvy reason they always check their receipts One customer took to social media to reveal the trick and shoppers were left stunned. 3 3 Tesco customers aren't checking their receipts for errors but so they can claim free items and discounts. Money off and even free items can sometimes be claimed from receipts from Tesco and other big retailers. One customer recently managed to bag kilograms of rock salt for almost nothing after spotting an impressive discount offer on their receipt. They shared their bargain on social media so other customers could use the trick to claim their own freebies and discounts. 3 In the past Eagle eyed customers have managed to nab free nappies just by properly checking their receipt. If you spot a freebie on your receipt you can hand it over to a member of staff to claim the item. Sometimes to get the free items on offer you need to be a Clubcard holder. Free items on receipts will be clearly displayed in plain writing and should be easy to spot. The free items come from personalised coupons for targeted promotions, usually awarding Clubcard holders. Offers will usually have an expiry date so it is important to check that the discount or freebie is still valid before trying to claim it. Other supermarkets offer similar money saving deals and loyalty programmes to customers. M&S shoppers could not believe their luck after learning they could pick up a packet of their Outrageously Chocolatey Milk Chocolate Biscuits for nothing. Savvy shopper reveals the secret way to get epic discounts and hundreds of points for 'no reason at all' in Tesco The biscuits would usually cost customers a whopping £6 at M&S stores. To qualify for the offer customers need to be a Sparks Member, which is M&S's free loyalty scheme and also signed up to its parenting club. Sainsbury's has also given vouchers to its Nectar Card holders to pick up free items such as fabric softener. Vouchers for freebies and discounts print out at the till alongside your receipt. Shoppers have been urged to keep an eye out for the deals when they're paying for their shop. Social media users were left stunned after discovering they had been missing out on freebies and discounts. One user shocked them all when they revealed the reason they always took their receipt. How to save money 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.

Lidl shoppers reveal trick to get ‘hidden' freebies – and you don't need to spend anything
LIDL shoppers say they've been getting hidden freebies through the discount supermarket's loyalty app. Customers have been raving about the free finds they've managed to get through the Lidl Plus app, including doughnuts, fresh fruit and pasta. 2 It's all through the app's Coupon Plus feature, which lets shoppers unlock rewards and freebies when they spend. Several shoppers have been sharing their bargains on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook Group, with one saying: "Today checked my app so free doughnuts (2) free grapefruit free vine tomatoes free 600g of strawberries saved about £7.00." Another shared a photo of a receipt showing they had got muffins, a punnet of strawberries and pasta. "All free with my Lidl coupon plus rewards," they said proudly. A third person said they had got coupons for free fruit, veg and a bakery item on their app despite not spending anything at Lidl yet this month. A fourth said they received a free kilo punnet of strawberries. Lidl has said the coupons in its app are tailor-made for each customer based on their shopping habits. To get the vouchers you should head to the Coupons Plus section of the app and make sure you activate the coupons before you head to the till. The offers seem to change over time but one example is getting a free bakery sweet treat when you spend £10 in a month. Shoppers have also shared an extra little-known tip that can help you get the most out of your coupons. Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel One social media user said that when you have a free item in the coupons section of the app, you should click on the picture of the item and scroll down to where it says 'item number'. If you click on this, it should show you the complete list of any items you can claim for free with the coupon. That means you're not just limited to the free item seen in the picture. What other offers can you get through the Lidl Plus app? If it's your birthday you can get a free doughnut from the Lidl bakery section. There's no minimum spend required and the coupon is valid for seven days from your birthday. All you need to do to get the offer is register your birthday when you initially sign up to the app. Other offers you can get through the Lidl Plus app include a 10% off voucher when you spend £250 in-store in a month. This could be particularly helpful for larger families doing their weekly shops at Lidl. There is also currently a chance to win £5,000 through the app. Shoppers who spend £30 in one transaction with Lidl Plus from now until June 18 will be entered into a draw to win the cash. One winner will be announced every day and you can enter multiple times. Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

Greggs is making a big change to its loyalty scheme this month and it will be easier to get freebies
GREGGS is giving its popular loyalty scheme a major refresh this month – and fans can now get freebies faster. The bakery chain, which has branches across the UK, kicked off a new month-long promotion on 2 June, offering customers double stamps on selected menu items when buying between 11am and 2pm. 3 3 The offer is running in four weekly phases, with a new product category featured each week. This week (June 2–8), all hot, cold and made-to-order sandwiches qualify for double stamps – including baguettes, wraps, flatbreads, burgers and rolls. Meal deal fans won't miss out either, as they'll get stamps on all eligible items in their basket, as long as their lunch falls within the promotion window. From 9 to 15 June, the spotlight turns to "Hot Snacks", while between 16 and 22 June, it's the turn of the bakery's popular range of bakes, though the famous Sausage Roll and Vegan Sausage Roll are excluded. The final week, 23 to 29 June, will feature double stamps on all iced drinks. Customers earn one stamp per qualifying purchase in a category, and after nine stamps, they can claim a free item in that category. With this promotion, customers could earn two stamps per purchase – cutting the time it takes to grab a freebie in half. To take advantage of the offer, shoppers just need to scan the Greggs App in-store or order via click-and-collect. If you're not already signed up, downloading the app also gets you a free hot drink – and a sweet treat on your birthday.
