A Tesco shopper revealed she found an easy way to get a 'free lunch' when visiting the supermarket. She shared the tip on TikTok amassing 315,000 views.
The customer, who goes by the name of @passwithbecky, found the money saving tip when she bought a Costa coffee from the local Tesco. She was prepared to stump up £3.05 for the express coffee, but was chuffed to find out she could get an entire meal as well.
Best of all, it meant the coffee was only £3. Essentially, she was buying her morning coffee and getting a free lunch, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The TikToker explained how it was only on her most recent visit she learned about the saving. She discovered a coffee from the Costa express machine was available in the £3 meal deal.
The deal is available to Clubcard holders. It includes a drink, a main (often a sandwich, pasta or a salad), and a snack.
Taking advantage of the hack, you'll not only be saving yourself 5p, but you'll also be benefitting from a free lunch on top. The woman explained: "So, I just went into Tesco to get a Costa express coffee. Costa express coffee regular - £3.05.
"Make it a meal day - and with your Tesco Clubcard it costs £3," she added. "So, I've got a salad, chocolate bar and a coffee for £3 - instead of £3.05 for just the coffee. Win!"
Other Tesco customers took to the comments section to applaud the find. "Now THAT is useful information…thank you!" One user explained.
A different user wrote: "Omg I never realised that before… will definitely remember that." "I did not know you could get the Costa drinks on meal deal!!!" A third agreed.
Another commented: "The Tesco meal deal is sacred. If that goes up, we'll know society is finally done." "Ooh, that's definitely a win! going tomorrow," a fifth added.
