I only paid £8 for my £190 Tesco food shop with little-known hack – I got all my Christmas trimmings and booze too

MEMBERS of an online bargain-hunting group have been blown away by one person's incredible savings on their 'big Christmas shop'. It's that time of year when people across the nation have started making a list and checking it twice. Then they've headed to their closest supermarket, list in-hand, to battle the crowds and get their Christmas food shop done.

And the cost of feeding the family on Christmas day can get very high, very quickly. Which is why supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda run money-saving schemes throughout the year to help ease the burden. Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, Tesco shopper Nicola Faint showed off a whopping £181.71 saving on her Christmas food.

Money-minded Nicola had saved her Clubcard vouchers up all year to cash them in on her Christmas dinner - even managing to cover her trimmings and booze. And she managed to walk out of the shop with her entire trolley for under a tenner. Nicola advised other members to always check the use-by dates on the back of their vouchers as, incredibly, some can be saved for years.

The scheme enables customers to save their vouchers throughout the year to spend on their big Christmas shop. When you sign up to the Clubcard Christmas Savers scheme, Tesco will 'look after' all the Clubcard vouchers you earn. You'll accumulate these when you shop and collect Clubcard points throughout the year (up to 16 October 2025, when next year's scheme closes).
