When an adult makes any purchase (cheapest 65p). Clubcard members only

Kids can eat for free at any Tesco café (over 300 of them – find your nearest*) when an adult makes a purchase in the café, and scans their Clubcard any day of the week during the summer holidays. If you're not a Clubcard member, you can register online for free.

This offer is available until Tuesday 1 September.

You can get one free kids' meal per item purchased by an adult in the café.

The great thing about this offer compared to many other kids eat 'free' deals is there's no fixed minimum spend, or requirement to buy a 'main meal'. This means you could pay just 65p for a piece of fruit in a Tesco café to claim the freebie.

Kids’ meals usually cost up to £3.50, and they can choose from a breakfast (such as beans or avocado on toast), a hot meal deal (such as fish fingers or mac and cheese with a vegetable side dish), or the pick 'n' mix deal (sandwich, drink, fruit and two snacks). What's available may vary across different cafés.

Discounts on homeware, electricals & toys

If you go online to Tesco's eBay outlet*, you can get discounts on a range of items, including homeware, electricals and children's toys. It sells both new items and customer returns – all refurbished items are clearly marked.

Unfortunately, you can't collect Clubcard points via the Tesco outlet.

Incl using supermarket coupons and tracking offers

There are always ways to save money at Tesco so even if there isn't a cracking deal out there that works for you, don't assume you can't cut your costs further.

Ways to save include:

• Supermarket coupons. Make sure you check out our supermarket coupons page to save on your shopping.

• Take the Downshift Challenge. The phrasing and language used in shops hypnotises us into thinking the most costly is best. While the packaging looks more opulent, look beneath it and sometimes you won't be able to tell the difference (often it's even made in the same factory). Take our Downshift Challenge.

• Track if it's really a bargain. Most of us know just because a supermarket lists an item as "on offer", that doesn't mean it's cheap. The trouble has been sorting awesome offers from poor promos.

• Time trips right to bag huge yellow sticker discounts. If you spot a yellow sticker discount - fantastic. Grab it and use it quickly as it's a saving on perfectly good nosh. See when Tesco normally reduces its produce in our Cheap Supermarket Shopping guide.

• Check out similar retailers, eg, Asda, Sainsbury's and the other major supermarkets. If you're not committed to buying from Tesco, check out our deals from Asda, Aldi, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Lidl and Waitrose, where they may have a better offer.

• Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to find out in which shops hagglers have most success. Supermarkets did feature, so it's worth a go. Find out more in our Haggle on the High Street guide.

• Had a problem with Tesco? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Tesco*.
