I do...but then I'm not buying for a large family and I've a pretty good idea of what I want and where to find it, so the shop takes me about 20 minutes from parking the car and driving off with the shopping in the car with me.
till you I saw it is “10% off your groceries in-store“. Who the hell actually goes to the store to the their weekly ‘big’ shop!
I didn't see that either - I'm oot! (our nearest store is 15 miles away and I wouldn't do a big shop in-store – it would be hell).
Family of 4, down to 3 for the next 12 to 18 months. Other daughter doesn't live with us but we do her shopping whilst doing ours. Some months we don't make the full saving on Clubcard plus but every month we do make a saving which over time adds up.
I'm never looking for the maximum saving but some saving is better than none
If your big shop is £150 or £200 at Tesco, it might only be £100 at Lidl.
And you get 10% off once a month anyway, along with a few other goodies, if you spend more than £250 a month.
Just sayin'

Possibly – I do like to shop at Lidl and Aldi and I know that some of their stuff is just as good / better than the big supermarkets but they don't have the wide range of things we often buy so we would end up having to do more shops every week which would be a PITA.

In my local Aldi it appears going food shopping is a family day out. Not sure why both parents and 2 or 3 kids all need to be there. I never on-line shop, always go to store for my shopping. But there's only me and I buy whatever takes my fancy at the time.
I genuinely find going to the store far easier and less stressful than doing an online shop, providing they have the scan while you shop things.
Plus, I get to walk about rather than sat in front of a phone/computer searching for 100+ items and adding them to the basket, which I hate doing.
I'm definitely going to look into the advice about using a Tesco credit card and clubcard plus. Our current cashback credit card (Amex) only gets us about £150 back each year.

This.
The Clubcard credit card only makes sense if you buy at Tesco, 1 points for every £8 is essentially 0.125% cashback which increases to 0.25% rewards with the new scheme. [url= https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/credit-cards/best-credit-card-rewards/#chase ]This card[/url] gives 1% on the vast majority of purchases up to £15 back every month (so maxes out after £1500 spend). By comparison, you would have to spend £6000 on the Clubcard to get the same "reward".
Shop carefully and Tesco is just as cheap as Lidl or aldi. Until recently I used to go to Lidl (then other shops to get the stuff that Lidl didn't sell). We work out cheaper now just keeping it all at Tesco, especially with the 10% off 2 shops.
Bst bit for me is the scan/self checkout. No more waiting behind a line of trollies at Lidl.
Fair comment.
Just saying that the amount of Clubcard partners north of the border is fairly minimal.
But then, only a fraction of the population lives north of the border.
Potentially, becoming a Clubcard partner would allow access to tens of millions of people who may want to explore further afield than pizza express. They’re pretty much a captive audience.
There’s no reason why Scotland (or anywhere else) should have such a short tourist season.
The hillwalking, fishing, sightseeing, doesn’t stop at the end of august.
tip. May and September are the best times to visit scotland. The midges are absent!
The weather tends to be fair and settled.
It’s a pity that most visitors from England don’t visit until August.
By then, the midges are still swirling around, and you’ve lost the really long daylight that occurs in june/ July.
But for some inexplicable reason, England keeps its schools open, right through June/ July.
That’s sheer insanity. Even in Scotland, the roads are melting, ffs!
If the English tourists turned up in Scotland in July, they’d probably be quite surprised at how pleasant it is.
Global warming may expand business opportunities, and the Clubcard seems like a great way to advertise outdoor centres, quad bike parks, etc.
Well the average buyer is someone who is used to the facilities and services of Tesco.
Are you confusing Tescos with Fortnum and Mason?
For the record, the boat trips to the corryvreckan whirlpool are a long, long way from my gaff, here in Glasgow.
A bit of a logistical exercise, for anyone who doesn’t drive.
But, despite being a cheapskate, I wouldn’t begrudge handing over the cash to those operators.
I find it unfortunate, however, that they may not be reaching as wide a potential audience.
As for English school holidays, they’d be better off offering each subject in a modular form.
You can’t progress in maths 2.2, unless you’ve nailed maths 2.1.
Each module would require a higher pass rate, but would be shorter in length than current GCSE’s.
You pass all the requisite modules, you get off from school at the beginning of June.
Otherwise, it’s resits!
Apologies for the tangent.
Shoplift carefully and Tesco is just as cheap as Lidl or aldi

Full MemberWho the hell actually goes to the store to the their weekly ‘big’ shop! Sod that for a game of soldiers.
If I don't go to the shop, how am I supposed to get distracted, buy stuff I didn't mean to buy, forget stuff I actually needed so I have to go back to the shop and buy more stuff I didn't mean to buy, or spend 5 minutes diving through the discount sections before buying a single lettuce with 10p off? And what about the lego, eh? And the random bad chat with the checkout people?
I quite enjoy the hour in Tesco making sure my 4 year old scans everything and shouting at my 2 year old to stop pulling the shelves apart. I find it good wholesome father / sons bonding time.
Looks like we need to sign up to club card plus. My wife gets a gift card as part of the Scottish government scheme which gives us 4% cash back and is topped up using the Tesco credit card. I'll run some sums to see if the clubcard plus has better benefits, I'm sure it is.
