The shopper revealed they’ve saved “over £148” on school uniform

If you’ve noticed that your child’s uniform is looking shabbier than you remembered it last year, consider Tesco as the solution.

You can freshen up their wardrobe without breaking the bank.

We have one savvy shopper to thank for enlightening us with this news as they took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group to share the deal.

Although the shopper is unsure as to whether the deal includes all the store’s school wear, they said they’ve saved “over £148” on school uniform.

They also added that the items appear to be leftover 2022 and 2023 stock.

“They will be very old stock by the time grandson is 15 lol”, the shopper joked.

It is worth noting that this deal has been found using the Tesco Scan and Shop app and it may not be available if paid for by other means.

As shown in the pictures, the deal includes not only one shirt but three packs in one, with short-sleeved, long-sleeved, regular and slim-fitted styles.

You might want to get in there quickly as the Facebook post has accumulated a jaw-dropping 1.9K likes and 1.3K comments.

One person tagged another and simply wrote: “You know what to do.”

While another commented: “Well done on amazing bargain.”

“We need have a good look”, commented a third.

A fourth person advised another saying: “Worth a look in your Tesco.”

“I would have cleaned out. Take what I need, and give loads to my kid’s schools for those who are struggling. Good find!!” replied a fifth person.

If you’re also keen to bag the bargain, you’ll be glad to know the Tesco Scan and Shop app is completely free.

It allows customers to scan barcodes with a mobile phone or handheld scanner. 

Customers can then put the scanned items in their shopping bag and pay at the checkout by scanning a QR code.

The Scan as You Shop feature is also exclusive to Clubcard members, so some shoppers seemed a little confused about how the eagle-eyed bargain hunter didn’t pay full price.

“Make sure you use the scan and shop. You will be able to check the price,” advised one shopper on the Facebook post.

To get a Clubcard, head over to the Tesco website and click Join Clubcard.

Then register your details to create an account.

In stores, you will need to scan the relevant item and then head to the available payment area or in some stores the normal checkout.

Ask an in-store customer assistant to find out what options are available to you.

To find your local Tesco store, click the locator icon on the top right of the Tesco website.

There, you can Find a store by searching for your postcode, town or city.

Directions, store details and stock information should then become available to you once you click your preferred store location.

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.

It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.

Don’t worry, we’ve done some of that for you.

In stores such as Asda, a two-pack of white short-sleeved polo shirts can be bought for £3.

While long-sleeved shirts can be bought for around £5.50.

Similarly, at Sainsbury’s, a two-pack of white short-sleeved polo shirts can also be bought for £3.

However, pricing does fluctuate depending on the age of the child and gender.

Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time.

Remember, you might also pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.

It helps to compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.

How to bag a bargain

SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…

Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.

Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.

Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.

Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.

Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.

When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.

Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.

Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.

And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

Shoppers rush to buy Cadbury’s chocolate scanning for just 82p ahead of Christmas – grab them now before offer runs out

SHOPPERS are rushing to buy a popular Cadbury’s offering as they hit stores with the lowest price tag around.

Sainsbury’s workers are stocking shelves with Cadbury’s Chocolate Buttons for a paltry 82p – and one eagle-eyed shopper has urged bargain hunters to get their fill.

Shoppers will need a Nectar card if they want to bag the treats for under a pound[/caption]

The deal was shared on Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargain UK, with the contributor saying “Don’t walk, run to Sainsbury’s!”

However, you will need a Nectar card to bag the sweet treat for under a quid, as those who don’t have one to hand will have to pay £1.65 for the sharing bag.

Facebook users flocked to applaud the incredible find.

“Good job we got some today,” one wrote.

A second urged revellers to get in the festive spirit sooner rather than later.

“Start your Christmas shopping early,” they wrote.

A third tagged a pal before adding: “We must go!”

How do Nectar cards work?

Under the Nectar card scheme, customers collect points when buying certain products or goods, in-store and online.

You receive one loyalty point for every £1 spent.

You also get one point for every £1 spent on fuel bought at Sainsbury’s petrol stations and can pick up points at hundreds of partners as well, including Esso and eBay.

You can register and download an e-Nectar Card by downloading the app on your smartphone.

You then swipe it every time you shop and the points are added to your account, which can be used to get money off future purchases.

Each point is effectively worth 0.5p, meaning you need 500 points to get £2.50 off.

NOT SO SWEET

It comes after The Sun revealed in July that last year’s 600g box Celebrations boxes have been cut to 550g — equal to a reduction of around five sweets.

Mars blamed the rising costs of raw materials and operations.

Cocoa prices have hit a record high following a poor harvest in Africa triggered by bad weather.

It’s always a good idea to shop around to make sure you can find the best deals.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.
