‘Grab me two for that price’ cry shoppers as gorgeous garden buy slashed to £7.45 in Tesco
IF you want to give your garden a makeover up on a budget, then you need to leg it to Tesco.
Especially if you’d like to update your outdoor furniture or pick up some new pieces.
Mum Jessica was delighted to spot a huge selection of sale items in her local supermarket this week.
Thrilled with her summer finds, the savvy shopper took to social media to alert others.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, she shared snaps of the sale items.
She said: “Lots of garden furniture has been reduced to clear in Tesco!”
A four-piece folding furniture set has been slashed from £200 to £89.50.
An American Grill Charcoal BBQ will now cost you just £72 instead of £139.
A handy pop-up wall gazebo will only set you back £60 for now, while a cream outdoor sofa and table set is scanning for £129 instead of £290 – saving you an incredible £161.
Jessica also spotted a 3-metre paddling pool reduced from £115 to £51.75 as well as plastic chairs on offer for £18.50 and sun loungers for £21.
If you’re after a pop of colour there’s pretty two-seat bistro sets available for £29 in pink or teal too.
But the biggest bargain of all, that will instantly give your garden a glow up, are the outdoor rugs.
Originally priced at £15, they’ve been reduced to just £7.45 – saving you £7.55.
And there’s two styles on offer depending on your taste, a monochrome aztec print or colourful stripy option with orange, yellow, pink and white.
So it’s unsurprising that shoppers are racing to check their local Tesco to get their hands on one.
“Outdoor rugs look good”, gushed one person.
Someone else pleaded: “Grab me two for that price hee hee.”
A third said: “I want a rug.”
“The rugs are well good”, echoed a fourth.
A fifth begged a loved one: “Go to Tesco after work and check please.”
Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: “We might have to look at our local to see if you can get a rug.”
Other people joked that the sale is a sign that the UK summer is already over.
One joked: “When they realised summer wasn’t coming.”
Someone else chimed in: “Because summer is over before it’s even begun!”
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.
And a third added: “Yep, even Tesco has given up on summer.”
Indeed, the sale comes just days after the Met Office issued flood warnings.
On Monday, three warnings were issued as Brits were drenched by thundery downpours in a bad omen – as per St Swithin’s Day folklore.
Meanwhile, parts of the country have already well-exceeded July’s average rainfall figures despite only being halfway through the month.
The Met Office spokesperson said England had 97% of July’s average rainfall between July 1 and 15, Wales had 65%, Scotland 49% and Northern Ireland 47%.
London has had 154% of its July average already and Dorset 120%.
Edinburgh has only had 40% and Dundee 33%.
Ms Maxey said: “There are quite big regional differences but overall it’s looking like a wet month so far.”
