Tesco launches new homeware range to rival Sainsbury’s Habitat – prices start from just 50p
TESCO has launched a new homeware range to rival Sainsbury’s Habitat brand and prices start from just 50p.
The supermarket giant’s clothing brand F&F has branched into homeware and unveiled a range of more than 1,000 items.
The range spans plates and glassware, rugs and footstools, bedding, soft furnishings, and decorative accessories.
Items from the new range start at just 50p for a glass tumbler, with plates, mugs and bowls available from just £2.50 and cocktail and wine glasses from just £3.50.
Jan Marchant, chief executive at F&F Home, said: “Fashion now does homeware. Our clothing customers always want to stay ahead of the latest trends and get great value for money, without compromising on quality.
“With this exciting first foray into homeware, we’re really pleased to be able to help deliver this same commitment in the home space, with both statement and staple pieces to work with all-manner of styles and tastes.”

It always pays to compare prices before reaching for your wallet so you know you’re getting the best deal.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
To become a savvy shopper, consider joining Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, Latest Deals, and Reduce Your Supermarket Spend for insider tips and hot offers.
Following your favourite shops on social media and signing up for newsletters can also keep you in the loop on the latest deals.
Websites like Hotukdeals are excellent for finding offers spotted by other bargain hunters, and using barcode scanners in stores can reveal if items are cheaper than their listed prices.
To maximize your savings, always browse multiple retailers, compare prices, and watch for clearance sales.
Little tricks such as using discount codes and cash-back apps can also help you snag the best bargains.
What can I get with Tesco Clubcard?
TESCO'S Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop.
These points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places like restaurants and days out.
Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard.
Drivers using the loyalty card get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you a £1.50 money-off voucher, for example.
You can double their worth when you swap them for discounts with “reward partners”.
For example, £12 worth of vouchers can be swapped for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+.
Or you can swap 50p worth of points for £1 to spend at Hungry Horse pubs.
Where you can spend them changes regularly, and you can check on the Tesco website what’s available now.
Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card.
The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you’ll pay a higher price.
These Clubcard prices are usually labelled on shelves, along with the non-member price.
But it’s worth noting that just because it’s discounted doesn’t necessarily make it the cheapest around, and you should compare prices to find the best deal.
You can sign up to get a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website.
