Tesco is said to be cracking down on a viral social media trend that shoppers have been using to bag baskets of free sweets at the checkout.
The supermarket is said to have been made aware of the 'hack' that shoppers have been using to cheat their way around a coupon to pick up sweets at the self-service tills.
Known as the "Tesco Method", the trick was shared multiple times on TikTok where hundreds of videos saw shoppers picking up some staple bags of sweets for free and sharing how others could do the same.
