As the cost of living crisis bites shoppers are looking for ways to reduce their costs. Supermarket giant Tesco is urging its customers to pay a £2.49 monthly fee in a bid to 'save money in the long run' but is it the 'bargain' that some customers are hoping for? Here's everything you need to know.
Tesco has introduced a series of monthly delivery saver schemes. There are three options and start from £2.49 per month. It's the first time delivery and click and collect memberships have been available with the supermarket giant since they were forced to stop during the pandemic, according to Manchester Evening News.
The retailer says its aim is to give customers more choice and flexibility when it comes to doing the weekly shop, it could also be cheaper than the petrol it takes to do your shop in person. In addition, clubcard vouchers can be converted into cashback to use towards delivery. Some shoppers have already made the most of the new deal with one Clubcard member telling the Tesco site: "Excellent plan, shopping from home is great. Every delivery driver is a credit to Tesco, helpful, friendly and very polite. Highly recommend Delivery Saver." Another shopper said: "Six months free deliveries for just £16 - bargain!"

The cheapest option plan starts at £2.49 a month, and shoppers will be able to choose as and when they'd like to collect their shop, on orders over £25 with the Anytime Click+Collect plan. The next monthly level will cost you £4.99 for the Off Peak Delivery Plan, this includes a £25 minimum for click-and-collect and a £40 minimum basket price for home delivery. However, shoppers will get the added flexibility of same day slots for click-and-collet and next day options for home delivery.
Finally, the top level plan at £7.99 a month provides an 'Anytime Delivery Plan', the same minimum spends apply, with same day options for both click-and-collect and home delivery. An added incentive on the top priced plan is the Anytime Delivery Plan includes priority when booking slots over Christmas, according to Liverpool Echo.
Clubcard points can be converted into delivery slots
For every 50p in Clubcard vouchers, shoppers can redeem £1.50 in reward partner codes to use against the cost of any delivery plan. The code must be applied before your plan renewal date. If you choose a monthly payment plan, the value of your code will be evenly split between the months payable.
How is works
1. Before exchanging your vouchers, check the Delivery Saver website for the latest prices. Remember, codes over £1.50 of your plan cost will not be accepted and there's no money back for overpayment using the code.
2. Select the amount of Clubcard vouchers you'd like to exchange. You can top-up the price difference with another payment method on the Partner website.
3. When you've completed your order look out for a confirmation email. A second email containing your Partner code will arrive shortly after.
4. If you placed your order in the app, your code will appear in the 'My Rewards' section within 15 minutes, you will also receive the emails.
5. To redeem your code click the link in the email to the partner website and enter your code where asked. If you ordered in the app this link can be found in 'How to redeem' in the 'My Rewards' section.
