Tesco shoppers share little-known trick to claim free items
Shoppers have just begun to realise there is a voucher on the bottom of some receipts offering them a free item.
People have taken to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to share this little-known trick and what free items they have claimed.
Recent free items given away at Tesco have included Bold Platiunum washing liquid pods, Ariel Gel, Ninjamas, Pampers pull ups and Bold washing liquid gel.
One person, commenting in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, said: "I got one (voucher) for fairy washing gel 26 washes, I was a little surprised."
Another commented: "I got 3 different ones, bold liquid, pampers and always towels."
A third shopper said: "Got mine the other day; normally don’t get a receipt so pleased I did."
Explaining more about the Tesco vouchers another group member added: "Ask for your receipt with every transaction, it's completely random and it's other items being given away . Including household products."
The little-known trick has forced some to change the way they shop when heading to Tesco.
Another Tesco customer on the Facebook group posted: "Last night I popped to tesco for a few bits and they asked if I wanted a receipt witch I normally say no like most people now but said yes this time and as I was about to walk off he said hang on you have a receipt for free item I'll get it for you!
"So it actually wasn't free but it was only 50p not bad mite start saying yes to receipts again."
The vouchers are only available for those with a Tesco Clubcard.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
