Tesco axes Clubcard offer
Now, Tesco has axed the Clubcard offer on its own-brand soft drinks, much to the disappointment of customers.
Tesco's own-brand canned soft drinks come in various different flavours, including Orange Zero, Cream Soda, Ginger Beer, Lemon & Lime Zero and Diet Lemonade.

This works out to be 30p a can.
However, the Clubcard offer has now been canned, with shoppers having to pay 55p per soft drink.
Five ways to save money on your weekly food shop
Clubcard members have vented their frustration online, revealing just how angry they are with Tesco's decision to scrap the offer.
One person, posting on the Tesco website, said: "Very disappointed now Tesco stopped selling it (canned soft drink) in my local store, had to buy on line and now charging 55p a can no longer on the multi deal.
"I'm sure Tesco would have made their money on the sales? The product is 5* Tesco 1*."
Another added: "Really good drink nice flavour specially over ice.
"But I can't believe Tesco being stingy and stopping the offer tho all because hit warm and they are selling to many cans of drink."
@Tesco why have you stopped your Clubcard offer on mixed cans of your own brand soft drinks - 6 for £1.50? I have used this offer for months as I find the flavour is very good, especially the ginger beer which I think is as good as any other make — David Boyes (@DavidBoyes76) June 26, 2025

Tesco introduces new "VAR-style" checkouts
This isn't the only change at Tesco recently, with the supermarket also rolling out new "VAR-style" checkouts in stores across the UK back in May.
The new self-service checkout systems, rolled out in "some" Tesco stores, feature a camera that records customers scanning and packing their shopping.
Playback clips will then be shown to shoppers if they scan items incorrectly, with a message like: "It looks like that last item didn't scan".
A Tesco spokesperson said: "We are always looking at technology to make life easier for our customers.
"We have recently installed a new system at some stores which helps customers using self-service checkouts identify if an item has not been scanned properly, making the checkout process quicker and easier."

Shoppers took to social media, following the rollout, to share their thoughts on the new-look checkouts at Tesco, which were previously dubbed "VAR-style".
One customer, posting on X (formerly Twitter), commented: "Shouldn't have to do these sort of things today in society."
While another added: "Just bring back staffed tills - simple option."
Tesco isn't the only supermarket chain to introduce this new self-service checkout in stores, with Sainsbury's also rolling out a similar system back in May.
