If you've ever been in Tesco, then chances are that you will be quite familiar with the supermarkets yellow signs - also known as Clubcard discounts.
The supermarket chain regularly has the discount dotted around the store on certain products, but they only apply to those who currently hold a Clubcard.
From pints of milk to clothing, the supermarket's loyalty scheme lets members access a range of lower prices and deals both in-store and online.
And with prices rising due to the current cost of living crisis, it's understandable why many people would be wanting to take advantage of such discounts they can find.
Which is why one mum from Hull decided to find out if the supermarket's discounts are all they are cracked up to be.
Lucy Leeson from Hull Live recently took a trip to Tesco and compared the Clubcard savings against prices found in Asda and Morrisons to see how they compare.
The shopper - who usually spends £85 on a weekly shop - downloaded the Tesco Clubcard app and headed to her local Tesco to check prices on a range of items with and without the discounts.
How does the Clubcard work?
Shoppers signed up to the scheme can swipe their physical Clubcard or app at the till where the discounts will automatically be applied.
Shoppers earn one point for every £1 spent in-stores and online, while they will get one point for every £2 on fuel.
These points can then be collected to be turned into voucher that can be used on weekly groceries, days out and more. A total of 150 points will get you a £1.50 voucher.
Once Lucy had downloaded the app and headed to store, she compared the items she had saved money on against Asda and Morrisons to determine if the savings were worth it.
Here were the results.
