£5 vouchers at Tescos

Hi, new to the forum, so i hope this is in the right area, but i found a good deal today at Tescos.

They have started a deal today where if you spend over £50 you get a £5 voucher.

Pretty normal stuff i assume, however:

Firstly the voucher does not require a minimum spend amount, so you can buy £5 worth of goods for free with it, rather than those vouchers that require another £25 purchase etc..,

Secondly and more importantly, you only get 1 voucher for every tranaction over £50 so if like me you do your weekly shopping at Tescos and play the system, you can pile up the conveyor belt and ask the check out assistant to stop at £50 and pay, then use the voucher you just recieved to get a discount off the next £50 batch and so on.

You get another voucher at the £50 mark, even if a voucher you are using brings the price down to £45.

I just spent £150 and got £10 off (plus all the usual money off vouchers) and still have a £5 voucher for next weeks shopping.

The offer is on until the 28th May, I think its a good one, hope you do too.


By the way, it was the helpful checkout assistant that gave me this tip :hello:

    Do you know if this is Nationwide or your local store?

    I have seen people posting specific store offers before ie. double clubcard points for the Springfield Tesco every Thursday in January etc.

    I've been to Tesco Extra in Stoke on Trent today, spent £52.50 - no voucher for £5.00 and they refused (for the first time ever) my internet vouchers - really miffed. :(

    Hi all, have just given them a ring and got some extra info.

    It seems its only Blackpool store (sorry, didnt even think to check - was too excited to have my first tip to post! :))

    It cant be used for petrol, fags or for gift vouchers, but alcohol is no problem...


    I guess this should have gone in the local offers section. apologies!

    B****** did my weekly shop as normal at Dalkeith store, no vouchers! If I had known it was on at Corstorphine would have gone there. Might have cost me the £5 in petrol though, given that it has gone up again!

    I think it makes sense, Firespire,
    about the size of the shop, next time I shall go to the smaller one....
    Having said that, I've just noticed on my over £50 receipt, that it says:
    "For information: you have qualified for a free entry to a UK attraction voucher".

    Anyone know what that's about or how you get the actual voucher?

    These are free admittance to various attractions vouchers. Given out every time you spend more than £10. Ask if you don't get given one.
