Abbey’s post highlighted the incredible discount on a Colin the Cockerpoo lamp, along with other home essentials like cushions and blankets, which have also seen significant price drops.
She posted: “Colin the cockerpoo lamp reduced from £30 to £9 in Tesco.
“Also the cushions and blanket reduced to £3 & £2.50.”
The ‘Colin the Cockerpoo’ lamp, originally priced at £30, is now flying off the shelves for just £9—a massive £21 saving.
This delightful dog-shaped lamp has quickly become the latest must-have for animal lovers, who are snapping it up while stocks last.
Colin the Cockerpoo and other discounted items are proving popular, so they won’t be around for long.
One eager shopper commented: “I need this.”
This is a golden opportunity to add a touch of charm to your home while taking advantage of some seriously impressive savings.
With shoppers increasingly on the lookout for bargains, Tesco is pulling out all the stops, offering unbeatable deals on popular items.
These markdowns on homeware are just the latest in a series of promotions aimed at keeping Tesco at the top of the shopping list for budget-conscious consumers.
Tesco’s push to offer value extends beyond just low prices.
The retailer has also revamped its Clubcard scheme, allowing loyal shoppers to earn points that convert into vouchers for even more savings.
With these offers, Tesco is making it easier for customers to stretch their pounds further while still enjoying quality products.
SAVE AT TESCO
It’s not just Colin the Cockerpoo that buyers money can save on.
With a few simple tricks you can cut down the total on your Tesco shop. Here are some tips to help you:
Get a Tesco Clubcard: If you’re a frequent Tesco shopper, signing up for a Tesco Clubcard is highly recommended. With every £1 you spend, you earn one point, which can be redeemed for vouchers.
Accumulate 150 points to receive a £1.50 voucher in-store. For added value, exchange your points online via the Clubcard website for days out or restaurant meals, where they can be worth up to three times their value.
Don’t forget to check for any unused points, as they remain valid for up to two years.
Save on Tesco Deliveries: Consider signing up for Tesco’s Delivery Saver subscription service to save on home delivery costs.
For a monthly fee starting at £3.49, you can get all online deliveries over £40 delivered free of charge, with one order per day.
This service is ideal if you place two or more orders over £40 a month.
The delivery charge typically ranges from £1 to £7, so if you regularly shop online, the subscription could offer substantial savings.
Make the Most of Yellow Stickers: Yellow stickers indicate items that have been reduced in price due to approaching sell-by dates or minor damage.
If you have a large freezer, these discounts are a great way to stock up on quality products for less.
The timing for yellow sticker discounts varies by store, so check our guide for the best times to find these bargains.
Look for “Exclusively at Tesco” Products: Tesco offers an “Exclusively at Tesco” range featuring around 400 key items such as bread, tea bags, and family meals.
This range is priced competitively against discount retailers like Aldi and Lidl.
Always compare prices to ensure you’re getting the best deal and consider using price comparison tools like MoneySupermarket or Idealo to track supermarket prices.
Try Downshifting Your Products: Switching from premium to standard products can lead to significant savings.
For example, a Tesco Finest chicken kiev costs £6, whereas a standard Tesco kiev is only £2—a £4 saving.
According to MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis, this simple change can save an average family up to £1,500 annually.
Bring Your Own Bags: Tesco charges 10p for its bags for life, which may seem small, but can add up over time.
Using four bags per week equates to £1.60 a month or £20.80 a year. Save money by bringing your own bags—keeping them in your car can help you remember them on your next trip.
With these tricks you can maximise your savings the next time you shop at Tesco.
Meanwhile, Tesco Clubcard customers can boost their points by spending money with partners like Ovo Energy, Vauxhall, and Inkjet Recycling.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
