A secret code people at Tesco can use to get items for free has been revealed by an employee. On TikTok, the worker - known as Officer_Doofy - shared the code on how customers can get products without needing to pay for them.
In the video, which has been viewed almost one million times, the staff member shows a trolley full of fruit and vegetables all will reduced yellow stickers on them. The Tiktoker then adds how shoppers should keep an eye out for any such stickers that have the code 'CS' on them.
While the label will show what price the item has been reduced to, when you reach the checkout till it should be reduced further. The employee then scans their Tesco Clubcard after scanning the 'CS' coded items - which brought the total from £8.65 to zero, as reported by the Echo.

But like many things, there is a catch as this only applies to people who work at the supermarket. Officer_Doofy went on to say: "As a Tesco colleague, after 9pm any reduced item with CS on the sticker is free."
However, many viewers were still impressed by the deal. User called Ace commented: "Step one: get job at tesco." DangCool added: "It's free for Tesco staff but it's still a good bargain at 75% discount for anyone else too." Holly shared her own hack: "Or download olio who get the food sometimes after Tesco to distribute it for free x."
Tik-Tok-Ting asked: "Who works at Tesco? I need a friend." 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'."
It comes as the supermarket giant announced a major change to its reduced sections. Tesco has implemented a new policy for its ‘reduced to clear’ areas in stores with new, permanent signage as increasing numbers of customers seek out the items in an effort to cut costs.
The facelift for the areas will include new banners reading ‘Reduced in price. Just as nice’. Previously, yellow-stickered items were deposited on unmarked shelves at certain times of the day. The areas will be rolled out to 100 stores by Christmas and more throughout next year.
