A TESCO shopper has revealed how they saved £88 while buying a Tefal air fryer – but some shoppers don’t agree with the trick.
Dubbed one of the best gadgets for kitchen appliances, the Tefal air fryer can be pretty pricey – but there are many ways to reduce the cost.

One shopper took to Facebook to reveal that they bought the pricey kitchen appliance for just £88 – a whopping £101 discount.
And all she had to do was swipe her club card at the shop.
Clubcard is Tesco’s loyalty program that offers you points as you shop.
They can later be redeemed for discounts – or be used instead of cash.
Any Tesco shopper can get a Clubcard made for free.
However, one shopper said it was not a much big a saving – as the same air fryer can be bought on the internet for just £99.
They wrote in the comments: “It’s only £99 on the internet so not as big of a saving as you think, watch out for Tesco Clubcard ‘deals’ as they usually aren’t.”
Since then, the argument has left social media divided, with fans of Tesco club cards defending the shopper.
How does Tesco’s Clubcard work?
You earn points as you shop, which can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or with Reward partners.
You earn one point for each £1 spent, and each point is then worth 1p.
So 150 points get you £1.50, and you would have to spend £150 to get 150 points.
You need a minimum of 150 points to request a voucher.
Any vouchers are worth their face value when used in-store at Tesco.
But you can double their worth by spending them at one of the supermarket chain’s partners.
Any Clubcard points turned into vouchers expire after two years.
Any vouchers transferred into Reward Partner codes expire after six months.
Loyalty cardholders also get access to over 8,000 items for less through Clubcard Prices.
In other Tesco news, one shopper stumbled across a huge £1 sale section in her local branch after only popping in for a jumper.
Plus, the chain closed one of its Express stores in March, Cambridgeshire, last week, leaving locals devastated.
How to boost your Tesco Clubcard points
The Sun’s consumer editor Lynsey Barber explains how you can earn extra points on top of your grocery shop.
I’m never without my Clubcard when popping into Tesco. Not only do I earn points every time I shop, but it also means I get the lowest prices that the supermarket offers to members of its loyalty scheme.
But there are plenty of other ways to maximise my points beyond just shopping in-store or online.
