Tesco Deals

A sale that MoneySavers wait for in the lead up to Christmas, Tesco Clubcard holders can now get selected popular toys and board games for up to half-price. It's on in more than 260 stores (find your nearest*), though a small number of items will be available online at Tesco*. Tesco told us it's best to visit its larger stores in order to see the full range of items included.

The sale runs until 11.59pm on Wednesday 2 November, though of course some items may sell out in some stores before then, so earlier is better. 

The special price is only available if you're a Tesco Clubcard holder – to get the discount simply scan your Clubcard at the checkout in-store, or link it to your account (or add your Clubcard number at the checkout) when buying online. If you're not yet a Clubcard member you can register online* for free. 

Online delivery’s £2-£7 or you can collect from a store for free or up to £2, depending on the time slot you choose. Tesco told us that due to the size of some toys, they'll only be available in store.

There will be more than 100 toys included in the sale. Here are some examples we spotted in store on Tuesday 4 October:

• Lego Friends Heartlake City Pizzeria – £8.50 (was £13). Next cheapest we found, £9.75 at Argos.
• Lego Minecraft The Rabbit Ranch – £18.50 (was £25). CHEAPER for £15 at Amazon.
• Barbie Colour Reveal Mermaid Doll – £19 (was £24). Slightly CHEAPER for £18.40 at Amazon.
• Play-Doh Create 'n Canister – £20 (was £40). Next cheapest we found, £40 an OnBuy.com.
• Funko Pop Star Wards 4-pack – £22 (was £44). Not found elsewhere.
• Paw Patrol Moto HQ playset – £22 (was £44). Next cheapest we found, £34.99 at Amazon.
• Lego Friends Value Pack – £24 (was £40). Not found elsewhere.

As you can see in some of the examples above, Tesco may not always be the cheapest for everything even during a sale, so be sure to check prices elsewhere before buying. Though it's likely stock will go fast so check for bargains early.

If you go online to Tesco* or into a store (find your nearest*), you can get a bottle of Louis Delaunay Champagne Brut for £15. 

Please be Drinkaware.

You can get school uniform items (ages 3-16) from £2.50 at Tesco, in store only (find your nearest*). As the uniform is only sold in stores, it's not possible to check stock levels online. Some items may be running low in stock, so there's no guarantee you'll be able to get what you're after.

What can you get?

• 2x polo shirts - from £2.50 
• 2x sweatshirts - from £4
• 2x skirts - from £6
• 2x trousers - from £7

Prices change depending on size.

Every week, Tesco offers a new set of 'Weekly Little Helps' - a few particular food and home essentials that are reduced for a limited time to help you save on your weekly shop. They're available to buy both in store (find your nearest) and online, but be aware that online orders carry a delivery charge (varies depending on time slot) and a £4 fee if your order comes to under £40.

The specific products are on offer throughout the UK, but it's always best to check the terms. For example, some alcohol deals might not be available in Scotland because of their licencing laws.

You'll often find that the items are seasonal, such as chocolate eggs around Easter and selection boxes in the lead-up to Christmas.

Check back each week to see what's included and remember to compare prices with other supermarkets just as you normally would to ensure you're getting the best price.

Maximise your savings by collecting points on your Tesco Clubcard.

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.

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*.
