Tesco Colleague Shopping - Free food for Tesco staff

Just found out about Tesco colleague shopping and had to share in case others weren't aware.
Results in 100% off reduced items if you have a colleague Clubcard. 

The last round of yellow sticker reductions happen at around 19:00 mon-saturday. These stickers should have a "CS" in the bottom right corner showing the qualify for Colleague shopping. This means that if they are scanned on the till after 21:00 that evening in a transaction that also has a colleague Clubcard scanned you get the item for FREE. 

I honestly couldn't believe it until I tried it out for my self, over £40 worth of food for free. Everything I brought had the CS yellow sticker so I didn't even have to put my debit card in. 

Had to share so more colleagues are aware, great for freezer fillers!
If any one has any other tips like this please share.

    Be aware that it eats away at your Colleague Discount budget/cap. Unlikely to be an issue unless you hammer it, but worth being mindful of.
