Tesco shoppers have been hit with the third change in as many weeks - this time affecting the minimum spend for online orders at Tesco.com.
From May 2, shoppers must fork out a minimum of £50 on their orders - up from £40. And customers who do not meet the £50 limit will pay a £5 surcharge on their order, an increase from the current £4.
The changes mean that Tesco will have the highest minimum order value of all of the online supermarkets from May. Customers have been left fuming at the move, branding it 'greedy' in the cost of living crisis, as families face hikes in interest rates, council tax and water rates from April 1. The grocery giant has justified changes, which affects subscribers to its Delivery Saver Plan as well as more occasional online shoppers, saying the move would help ensure its grocery home shopping operation remained as efficient as possible. A notice on its website said the increases aimed to 'reduce the cost of home deliveries to your groceries'.
