Tesco praised for 60p food charge as Asda and Sainsbury's also make change

Tesco shoppers have praised the supermarket after it announced the return of its 'Kids Eat Free scheme' at its cafes during the October half-term.

The offer means parents can spend as little as 60p, for example on a piece of fresh fruit, to claim one free child’s meal worth up to £3.25 when showing their Clubcard at checkout. To cover the half-term dates, the scheme will run on weekdays between October 17 to October 28 in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and between October 31 and November 4 in Wales and will be available in 311 cafes across the UK.

Adults only have to purchase one item in a Tesco Cafe costing as little as 60p and show a valid Clubcard to qualify for one free child’s meal. And with children’s meals ranging from Avocado on Toast to Hidden Veg Mac ‘n’ Cheese - there's something to satisfy hungry kids from breakfast until dinner.

And a third said: "Good work Tesco, parents need help when children are off school."
