Tesco defends Clubcard scheme after shoppers slam 'ridiculous' price differences

Tesco has defended its Clubcard scheme after shoppers rounded on the supermarket for charging widely different prices for those without one of the money-saving cards. Customers branded the price differences 'shocking' 'ridiculous' and 'crazy'.

The retail giant offers thousands of deals through the Clubcard scheme, BristolLive reports. If you don't have a Clubcard - which Tesco said is free and easy to join - you can pay more for items.

Writing on twitter, one Tesco customer, @virtual_ambvxr said it was 'dreadful' that one item was £16 with a Clubcard and £40 without one. They said: "This is dreadful… if you can sell it at £16 then sell it at £16. The Clubcards are literally free of charge so what is the point?"
