The 50p Tesco item Martin Lewis urges shopper to buy before end of month

Financial guru Martin Lewis was back on our screens on Tuesday, November 22, with more money-saving tips. This time, among the advice offered by the consumer champion, was a 50p hack that should interest Tesco shoppers.

It was the final episode of Martin's current ITV series of The Martin Lewis Money Show Live and he warned there was a deadline looming that shoppers with the supermarket giant should be aware. He said there is a '50p trick' you can use to save your Clubcard vouchers, but it will only work before the end of the month.

Martin said: "When you got them two years ago, they only last two years and there's a deadline and people still haven't used £13m of them. So check whether you've got them at Tesco.com/Clubcard or via its app."

He went on: "But here's the trick: if you've got them and you don't want to spend them now, take your £10 voucher, go online and buy a 50p restaurant voucher on its rewards page, which is worth £1.50. Now, you will get reissued £9.50, the change, in vouchers and they are new vouchers so they have a two year lifespan. So that's a way to extend them."

Speaking of deadlines, according to Nottinghamshire Live sister publication Yorkshire Live, the fast-talking consumer advisor also urged viewers who shopped at major supermarkets - so Asda, Waitrose, , Sainsbury's and Morrisons as well as Tesco - that there are a few 'free food' deals available to redeem at supermarkets while stocks last.

The deals include Onken Kefir yoghurt at £1.65 at Waitrose, redeemable via Shopmium app, a 2L Coke Zero at £2, whereby you can buy it at Morrisons and then upload your receipt at Hashting to get the money back, a Pieminster gravy, at £4, available via Hashting through Waitrose in the same way, and a VFC Chick*n (ie meat free) tender at £3 you can buy at Sainsbury's and claim back with code FREEVFC when shopping online at Sainsbury's.

The advice from the show host continued and Martin highlighted to viewers that the deadline to use up old stamps - the ones which don't have the barcode on them - has been extended. Previously they were due to expire in January but now the deadline has been extended to July 31.
