‘Never miss out again’ savvy shopper shares how to ‘read’ Tesco’s secret label codes to bag the best deals
A SAVVY shopper has revealed the clever way she “reads” Tesco labels to make sure she bags the best deals.
Nichola admitted the trick means she’s never had to miss out on a deal, and is hoping that she can help other shoppers by sharing the hack.
“Here’s a little bit of a trick for Tesco for you,” she said in a video on her TikTok video.
“You can see the hidden date on your tickets when offers are ending.
“And I’m gonna show you the different tickets and where you can see the date.”
Nichola then showed a normal Tesco price tag, with a load of numbers above the barcode.
She then moved the camera over to a Clubcard price tag, which features four digits on the end.
In this case, the code was 240401.
“So the 1st of April 2024 is when that offer is ending,” she added.
“It’s also on the big ones. It tells you the hidden dates on them.
“So you don’t need to miss out on any offers, or have to ask about stuff when they’re ending, because you literally look on the ticket and see it for yourself!”
“No need to ever miss out again,” Nichola captioned the video.
People were quick to comment on the clip, with one writing: “Thank you, I didn’t know that!”
“Are they dates?” another marvelled.
“I thought they were a little code!”
“Thank you for taking the time to show this,” a third added.
“Nice one, thank you,” someone else commented.
“Writing too small to catch people out,” another wrote.
But others insisted everyone knows about the codes.
“Oooooooo another Martin Lewis in the making stating the obvious,” one said sarcastically.
“It’s not obvious,” another hit back.
“How is it obvious? Think about it.
“Does it say ‘date offer ends’ no – it’s not usual format for a date either.”
“It’s not hidden, it’s literally right there in plain sight,” someone else said.
“Not a trick. it’s just a date,” another laughed.
“It’s not hidden at all, nor a secret,” someone else added.
“Or just go on tesco.com they have all the dates on there lol,” another wrote.
