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.
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.
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.
Here are some ways to supercharge your Clubcard balance and get the most out of your rewards. Happy saving!

A SAVVY passenger has revealed why she always wears a hoodie whenever she gets on a plane.
The frequent flyer has been praised for the genius reason behind the clothing choice with hundreds of people vowing to try the plane hack the next time they jet off.
Peyton Reese Nelson took to TikTok to share her travel tip as she posted a short video alongside the caption: “Never not travelling in a hoodie.”
The social media ace filmed herself sat in her plane seat and lifting up her comfy hood so it covers her entire head.
Alongside the clip sits a sentence which says: “Saw a TikTok once of a girl saying she always wears a hoodie on the plane so her hair doesn’t touch the seat and I will never forget it.”
Plane seats are often seen as central hubs for dirt due to the amount of people who sit and touch them each day.
Despite airlines regularly cleaning the entire plane some still say that feeling safe from any potential germs by covering up is the best bet.
Peyton followed up on the clip with a comment expaling her reasons for always wearing a hoiodie.
She said: “I just feel like planes can be gross sometimes so wearing a hoodie means I don’t have to wash my hair when I land.”
The video has already managed over 985,000 views with hundreds of comments agreeing with Peyton’s amazing hack.
A flight attendant praised Peyton as she gave travellers a few extra tips on how to stay healthy on board an aircraft.
They wrote: “As a flight attendant, yes.
“Also do not EVER wear clothing that exposes your skin to the seats. Long pants and long shirt.
“Keep hand sanitizer with you always.”
Many others also say they do a similar thing in other popular places such as cinemas and on public transport.
One person said they’ve never considered how dirty a plane could be but would now definitely bring along a hoodie each time now.
A final commentator wrote: “I also wipe down everything including the headrest.”
While a lot of people assume the toilets, or maybe even the tray tables, are the grimiest parts of the plane, the headrest is usually given the unwanted honour.
Microbiologist, and author of The Germ Code, Jason Tetro said: “The germiest place of all is the headrest because it is the most exposed and the most touched surface on a plane.”
This is because headrests are rarely deep-cleaned, and they have the greatest exposure to hands and heads.
Other parts of the plane that are likely to be covered in dirt and grime include the seat pocket, the seat belt, the tray table, and the bathroom handle.
Flight attendant Josephine Remo revealed that the safety instruction card can be a hotbed of germs.
Last month, she revealed why the safety card should be avoided, if possible.
This is because the instruction sheets rarely get wiped clean by staff.
PARENTS are rushing to Asda to buy £3 Halloween costumes for their kids after a huge sale.
Halloween is just around the corner and if you’re yet to find spooky clothes for your little ones, you should plan a trip to your nearest store.

The post read: “Adults and kids Halloween clothing and costumes all reduced at Asda (Ashford).
“Available online and all stores.”
It was accompanied by a number of pictures showing the bargains she had found.
One trick or treat costume was only £3 after being reduced from its original price of £5.
A batman themed outfit was halved in price, having gone from £16 to £8.
And there were also £4 costumes on sale in the George section having been slashed down from an original £9.
One user commented: “All reduced online now too. I’ve just ordered.”
Another tagged their mate and wrote: “We are going tomorrow.”

Shop the budget range
Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.
She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.
“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.
Sign up to Asda Rewards
The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.
She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.
“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.
“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.
We’ve previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes – including the ones that will save you the most money.
Look out for booze deals
Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
