Shoppers across the UK are buzzing about a clever way to snag free items from Tesco supermarkets, thanks to a little-known trick involving their receipts. Known for its popular Clubcard rewards scheme, Tesco has now revealed that some receipts contain vouchers for free products, prompting excitement among customers eager to take advantage of this unexpected benefit.
As of March 26, 2025, savvy Tesco shoppers have been sharing their experiences on social media, particularly in the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. Members have discovered that by simply collecting their receipts, they can find vouchers at the bottom offering free items. These vouchers have included popular household products such as Bold Platinum washing liquid pods, Ariel Gel, Ninjamas, and Pampers pull-ups.
One enthusiastic shopper shared their experience in the group, stating, "I got one (voucher) for Fairy washing gel 26 washes; I was a little surprised!" Another member chimed in, saying, "I got 3 different ones: Bold liquid, Pampers, and Always towels." The excitement is palpable, with users encouraging each other to ask for receipts during their shopping trips. One customer recounted their own surprise when they were asked if they wanted a receipt, leading to them receiving a voucher for a free item worth 50p. "So it actually wasn't free, but it was only 50p—not bad! Might start saying yes to receipts again," they noted.
The vouchers are exclusively available to Tesco Clubcard holders, which has prompted some shoppers to rethink their shopping habits. A group member advised, "Ask for your receipt with every transaction; it's completely random, and it's other items being given away, including household products." This simple act of requesting a receipt could lead to unexpected savings.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert (MSE), recently highlighted another enticing offer for Tesco Clubcard members. As of March 26, 2025, selected members have the chance to claim a free three-month subscription to Disney+'s 'standard with ads' plan, which usually costs £4.99 per month. However, shoppers need to act quickly, as this offer expires on March 28, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
To claim the Disney+ subscription, customers are advised to log onto their Tesco app and click the 'Clubcard' icon located at the bottom of the screen. If eligible, they will see a notification under the 'Partners' section indicating they can redeem the streaming service. The app will automatically apply the code, or users can enter it manually on the Disney+ website. However, it's important to note that this offer is available only to those who are not already subscribed to Disney+ and are aged 18 or over, having opted in to receive marketing communications from Tesco Clubcard.
Disney+'s 'standard with ads' plan allows users to stream in 1080P Full HD and enjoy 5.1 audio on two devices simultaneously. However, it does come with ads—approximately four minutes of ads per hour on TV shows and at the beginning of films. Martin Lewis cautioned users, saying, "After the three-month freebie ends, you'll be automatically enrolled into the full-price 'standard with ads' plan—currently £4.99 a month. If you don't want to keep Disney+, make sure you cancel before the free period ends."
For those looking for an ad-free experience, Disney+ offers a plan priced at £8.99 per month or £89.90 per year, allowing downloads on up to 10 devices and streaming on two devices at a time. Furthermore, the premium plan, which costs £12.99 per month or £129.90 per year, allows streaming on four devices with 4K UHD and HDR video, as well as Dolby Atmos audio.
While Tesco has not commented on the Clubcard rewards when approached by the Mirror, the buzz around these offers reflects a growing trend of supermarkets incentivizing customer loyalty through exclusive deals. With the combination of free items and streaming subscriptions, Tesco is clearly aiming to enhance the shopping experience for its customers.
In a time when many are looking for ways to save money, these promotions provide an excellent opportunity for Tesco shoppers. Whether it's snagging a free item by simply requesting a receipt or enjoying a few months of Disney+ on the house, customers are finding that loyalty to Tesco is paying off in unexpected ways. As shoppers continue to share their experiences and tips, it’s clear that the supermarket giant is tapping into the power of community and word-of-mouth to spread the word about these hidden treasures.
As the offers continue to circulate, shoppers are encouraged to keep a close eye on their Clubcard apps and receipts. With the potential for free items and valuable subscriptions, Tesco is not just a place to shop; it's becoming a hub for savvy savings and community sharing. So, the next time you step into a Tesco store, remember to ask for that receipt—you never know what treasures might be waiting for you!
