Tesco employee shares secret code to look out for to get items for free

A Tesco employee has shared a store secret which could help shoppers to get items for free.

Taking to TikTok, user Officer_Doofy shared a clip showing the money-saving discount. They showed a trolley full of items - which ended up costing them nothing.

The social media user said that shoppers should be on the lookout for items with a yellow sticker and the code 'CS'. The labels will already show a reduced price but once you reach the tills the products should be reduced further.

The employee showed a clip of them producing their Clubcard at the till after scanning all of the specially coded items. The total to pay dropped from £8.65 to zero.

However, there is a catch, as they captioned the clip: "As a Tesco colleague, after 9pm any reduced item with CS on the sticker is free." But followers were still impressed with the deal.

One user wrote: "Step one: get job at Tesco." Another user added: "It's free for Tesco staff but it's still a good bargain at 75% discount for anyone else too."

Chris said: "I might have to change jobs to afford food." Chelle said: " Tesco donates the yellow sticker items to Olio (which is free to use for everyone) before 8.30pm - so now we know why some of the items 'wont scan'."

Another user, named Holly, added her own tip as she said: "Or download olio who get the food sometimes after Tesco to distribute it for free x"
