Tesco is bringing back its Kids Eat Free scheme at cafes during the October half-term. The offer means parents can spend as little as 60p (on a piece of fresh fruit) to claim one free child’s meal worth up to £3.25 when showing their Clubcard at checkout.
To cover the half-term dates, the scheme will run on weekdays between October 17 and 28 in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and between October 31 and November 4 in Wales and will be available in 311 cafes across the UK. Adults only have to purchase one item in a Tesco Cafe costing as little as 60p and show a valid Clubcard to qualify for one free child’s meal.
During the summer school holidays, Tesco cafes gave away free meals for more than 260,000 children.
Earlier this week, Tesco announced a huge price lock on more than 1,000 everyday products in its Low Everyday Prices range – helping customers to budget and giving reassurance that the products will stay at the same price until 2023.
In addition to Kids Eat Free, Tesco also supports families in the community through its partnership with Fareshare and the Trussell Trust. Through its Community Food Connection programme, Tesco provides surplus food to thousands of local charities and community groups. Customers can also use food sharing app, OLIO, to find free food that has been donated by Tesco.
