With the cost of living rising by the day and fears of more increases in energy prices to come this autumn, the impending school summer holidays could place another financial strain on families. With six weeks of freedom for the kids, many parents struggle to find ways to keep them entertained without forking out a small fortune.
There are so many walks and trips to the park you can do - which is where a little-known hack using Tesco Clubcard points comes in. The Lemon Aid parenting newsletter says days out are available at 150 venues across the country, so there should be something near you.
It says: "If you regularly shop at Tesco and use a Clubcard then every three months you get sent money off vouchers based on how many Clubcard points you've collected across the quarter, with you getting 1 point for every pound spent either in store, online or on petrol. You can, of course, use these vouchers to get money off your shopping, but instead of taking a few pounds off you can trade them in for three times the value on fun family days out nationwide."
