Did you know that Tesco operate a free bus service once a week to and from your local area to the nearest large Tesco store all over the UK. I found this out from a friend just last week so decided to try it out today. I have mentioned before that my nearest large Tesco is quite a way approx 15 mile round trip. I dont drive so have to rely on buses and the bus that drops me the closest still leaves me with a good 15 minute walk to the store (not easy when you are loaded up with shoping). Tesco online delivery fee ranges from £3-£6 compared to Asda which charges £2.50-£5. I usualy always do my shoping online at Tesco and end up paying an average of £4 delivery charge. This week armed with the knowledge of the free bus I decided to try and cut down on my shoping bill again. I made my shoping list in the usual way, I then opened Tesco online shoping in one tab and Asda online shoping in another. I went through my list one item at a time checking whether each item was cheaper at Tesco or Asda if the item was cheaper at Asda it went into my online basket, If it was cheaper at Tesco it went onto a new shoping list. I did this for each item untill I had completed my original shoping list. When I had finished I had a basket of shoping at Asda online and a new shoping list for Tesco to purchase in person using the free bus service. I paid £2.50 for my shoping with Asda to be delivered and made approx £10 in savings than what I would have paid if I had brought these items in Tesco. Today I got the free bus to Tesco to pick up the items that were cheaper in Tesco than Asda which saved me having to pay the usual £4 delivery charge. In total I saved around £11.50 this week doing my shoping in this way, sure it took me slightly longer than usual but it was worth it for the savings I made. I also got given a £5 off my next shop voucher from Asda as I spent over £40 with them so will make an additional saving of £5 next time :)
Much Love
