School holidays can put pressure on household budgets in a number of ways, whether it is the cost of childcare or the need to pay for lunches while kids aren't in the classroom. But a scheme is making a comeback that might help to ease the burden.
Tesco is reviving its Kids Eat Free initiative at its 311 cafés across the UK for the May Half Term, between Monday, May 29 and Friday, June 2. The supermarket’s cafes will be offering one free Kids Hot Meal Deal, Kids Breakfast or Kids Pick ‘n’ Mix deal with each item bought by an adult when showing their Tesco Clubcard at the till.
Prices start at 60p with menu items including beans or avocado on toast, fish fingers, baked chicken goujons or a sandwich. Hot main meals include a vegetable side dish, and the sandwich pick 'n' mix includes a piece of fresh fruit.
Jason Tarry, Tesco UK CEO, said: “We know that household budgets can be stretched over the school holidays, so we are pleased to once again be offering free meals to children when they’re off school as another way to support families during this half-term.”
Tesco says it is also helping families to cut their bills through its Aldi Price Match. The retailer also recently announced another price lock on over 1,000 products until July 2023.
Meanwhile the Clubcard offers deals on everything from everyday staples like fruit and veg to treats like prosecco or ice cream.
