Tesco Clubcard - Extra Points Goods

xlt_hunter

As per the online calculator.

Your holiday costs £ 217 (the difference)

Therefore - total clubcard deals would be 21700

Therefore - total clubcard points would be 5425 (Worth £54 in shopping)

You are buying Birds Eye Beef In Gravy priced at 66 pence - at an average earning of 50 points per pack.

Therefore - total packets needed is 109

109 Birds Eye Beef In Gravy at 66 pence would cost £71.94

---

Grabed another 9 packs again from my local this morning for another 450 points, so far total is running at 3780 points :j approx £150 in MFI vouchers

I am fast running out of room in my freezer - now to give some away.

Don't forget if you go to Disneyland in Jan or Feb you need extra Clubcard points to buy hats and scarves!! We went in Feb again this year, courtesy of Tesco and it was freezing!

Ok, saving mine for a holiday. Who has looked into who is the best company to go with?
I'm a bit worried that i am going to spend £100's on beef and then book a holiday that i could have bought for that price any way. Do you understand me? Coz It is brochere price only isn't it?
Hope I am clear, sorry just a little excited about getting a cheap holiday!

bought 18 packs of beef today....the great thing is because they're on offer (66p down from 80p) my mum and gran asked for 6 packs each! They paid me for them and dont care about the points-thanks mum! thanks gran!

i got 900 points and the beef only cost me £3.96!

Bargain! Ask your family if they want it. You'll get the points - they've got the freezer space!

We've been to Disneyland Paris three times using Clubcard vouchers. Always booked through Bridge Travel and they've been superb every time. I would definitely recommend this company.
We always manage to accumulate around £200 of vouchers over about a year (occasionally longer) which gives us about £800 to spend on a Disneyland holiday.
Go in February/March out of half-term time, use the free kids offer, fly from Heathrow with the Air France kids go free offer. Fantastic!
The only problems with this approach are that Paris is cold in February and Disneyland always have 2 or 3 rides closed for off-season repairs - but at least you get to see Mickey's Winter Wonderland show

Just had a call from MOH - she's just picked up another 15 packs of beef! Yummie

Noticed today that in the ingredients in the Roast beef there is 52% beef, and the chicken 48%.

Doh ~ 48% of the Chicken in Gravy is Beef???

Tradewinds have been very helpful on the phone, but I haven't booked yet.

My eg is we are going to NZ. Tradewinds charging £3200 for the holiday. I could source the very same holiday myself for £2200.

I already had £770 in deals tokens, leaving a balance to find for tradewinds holiday of £2430.

This equated to £1215 spend on burgers, chips etc. As the beef deal appeared at the end of my point spree, I got this cost down even less to about £1000 spend (taking into account Joeys and other coupons).

Therefore my holiday in real money will cost me £1000 (spending on food to get the points) + £425 (cancelling flights we'd already booked), therefore a real spend of £1425, compared to a cost of £2200 we would have had if I'd sourced the holiday independently. SO even though Tradewinds is £1000 more for the holiday to start with, the actual cost is cheaper.

SO I've saved £800 by buying beef.:j

Hope this makes sense! You'll have to research your own situation to find out if the holiday is actually cheaper in real terms. Cosmos are quite reasonably priced to the rest of the market, so I guess it will work out cheaper for you as the beef is such a great exchange, but I'd advise you to get a few quotes before you take a beefy plunge!;)

Biglugs, does Bridge Travel appear on the culb deals website, as I couldn't find them! I picked up another 12 packs of beef tonight, plus also ordered another 84 packs. That's another 4800 points towards my holiday. Another good thing is that I spotted a shelf misprice! (first ever). Lemon Sole (Tesco's healthy living range) was marked up on the shelf at £4.53 a lb, but on the packet said £4.99. Obviously, I bought the last 4 packs and got a refund of just under £14 and the fish for free. Grabbed the club card points for that, too.

Even though the terms and conditions on the Tesco site says full brochure price - try phoning the compnay (not Tesco) and ask if they accept them for their latest prices and offers etc - the company I phoned were happy to take them and I know MFI doesn't stick to the "not to be used with any other offer" either. Phone and ask - all they can do is say no

Went to our Tesco Extra today and cleared them out of beef, put in a few packs of chicken too. Hubby had chicken curry for dinner and a got a few hundred points for my trouble

I only need 100pound in clubcard vouchers to get the holiday the kids enjoy so another few trips should have it covered. Might even be able to manage to holidays next year :j

Thanks to everyone thats putting the extra points tips on here - great thread!!!
