Tesco shoppers urged to pay monthly fee to save money on shopping

The cost of living is rising with Martin Lewis warning that the energy price cap is set to rise even further over the next year.

Whilst energy bills are on the rise, so too are shopping bills as well as petrol making our weekly trip to the supermarket more expensive than we would like.

However in a bid to help shoppers make the most of the budget, whatever that may be, Tesco are now offering a delivery savers scheme.

According to Liverpool Echo, the scheme starts at £2.49 per month - and with the process of filling up the car with fuel becoming costly, the monthly cost can work out cheaper than the price of petrol to the nearest store.

This is the first time delivery memberships have been available since they were forced to stop during the pandemic to prioritise individuals at risk. Tesco's new click-and-collect membership plan and two new delivery saver tiers aim to give customers more choice and flexibility when it comes to doing the weekly shop.

The cheapest plan starts at £2.49 a month allowing shoppers to choose when they'd like to collect their shop, on orders over £25 with the Anytime Click+Collect plan. The next monthly tariff is £4.99 for the Off Peak Delivery Plan which includes a £25 minimum for click-and-collect and a £40 minimum basket price for home delivery. However, shoppers will get the added flexibility of same day slots for click-and-collet and next day options for home delivery.

The next tier comes in at a monthly fee of £7.99 and is classed as the Anytime Delivery Plan. For this, the same minimum spends apply with same day options for both click-and-collect and home delivery. And if you've thought ahead to Christmas already, though understandable if you'd rather not, then this may be better suited as it includes priority when booking slots over the festive period.

Convert your Clubcard points into delivery slots

In addition to this, customers can convert their Clubcard vouchers into cashback which they can then use towards delivery. For every 50p in Clubcard vouchers, shoppers can redeem £1.50 in reward partner codes to use against the cost of any delivery plan. The code must be applied before your plan renewal date.

If you choose a monthly payment plan, the value of your code will be evenly split between the months payable.

How to redeem your vouchers

1. Before exchanging your vouchers, check the Delivery Saver website for the latest prices. Remember, codes over £1.50 of your plan cost will not be accepted and there's no money back for overpayment using the code.

2. Select the amount of Clubcard vouchers you'd like to exchange. You can top-up the price difference with another payment method on the Partner website.

3. When you've completed your order look out for a confirmation email. A second email containing your Partner code will arrive shortly after.

4. If you placed your order in the app, your code will appear in the 'My Rewards' section within 15 minutes, you will also receive the emails.

5. To redeem your code click the link in the email to the partner website and enter your code where asked. If you ordered in the app this link can be found in 'How to redeem' in the 'My Rewards' section.

If you don't already have a Tesco Clubcard take a look at all the deals on offer, it's certainly one of the best ways to save pennies when shopping both online and in-store.
