Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. How to save money at Tesco EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco. The Sun's Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK's biggest supermarket. Clubcard points Tesco first launched it's loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value. Extend Clubcard points You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site. Clubcard prices If you don't have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don't forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll. Yellow stickers Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm. Save money if you shop online If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees. If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.

Mom hailed as a ‘pro' after hauling her kids, 8 and 10, around Disney World — in a stroller: ‘She gave no f–ks'
A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. How someone chooses to parent their children is a personal decision — but when you share on social media how you go about it, people are bound to share their ruthless opinions. That's what happened to a Massachusetts mom named Nicki Marie when she posted a TikTok video of herself pushing her two kids in a stroller while at Disney. No, these weren't toddlers getting wheeled around — they were grown kids — 8 and 10 years old, to be exact. 'When I got divorced, one of the first things I thought was, 'How will I do Disney with just me and two kids?'' Nicki Marie told in an interview. To find a solution to her problem, Nicki Marie brought her stroller — nicknamed 'Kim' into the mix. 'I'm trying to let down my guard so my kids see me having fun. I bring a stroller because I'm anticipating what could go wrong that day,' she said in the interview. Technically, no one has publicly shamed this mom's stroller using ways, so she's the one doing the teasing: 'I'm making fun of myself before you point it out to me,' the mom said. Despite poking fun at herself, she doesn't think too much about what other people think especially with her iconic voiceover choice in the video she shared, that said 'And she gave no f—s.' However, people online have mixed thoughts on this single mom's stroller-loving ways. Most were positive and in support of her smart tactic. 'We went to Disney for the first time in March. My boys are 8 & 9, kinda wish we would have done a stroller lol.' 'I fully support this. There is no way to make your kids walk these insane miles in the heat without taking a little water break in a shady stroller.' 'My husband and I are going next week, I'm just trying to figure out if I can have him push me in a stroller.' And of course, there were some haters — as expected. 'Absolutely not. My kids very rarely used a stroller and had no problem walking, including at Disney when they were 3. Hauling a stroller sucked.' 'None. Zero. After 30,000 steps and bell to bell, I'm not schlepping all the stuff and sleeping kids.'

Mom of Older Kids Refuses to Be ‘Stroller Shamed' at Theme Parks
This mom is proud to use a stroller for her 'big' kids. 'Why would I worry about what other people think?' Nicki Marie, a Massachusetts mom who does not share her last name online, tells Marie sold her point in a TikTok video, wherein she pushed a double stroller containing her children, ages 8 and 10. 'Moms with grown-a** kids in strollers at Disney,' Marie captioned the video. The video voiceover stated, 'And she gave no f----.' Marie recorded the video during a two-week trip to Disney World, an annual vacation that she says is a 'milestone' after her 2019 divorce. 'When I got divorced, one of the first things I thought was, 'How will I do Disney with just me and two kids?'' says Marie. Enter 'Kim,' Marie's nickname for her double stroller, a 'co-parent' since 2016 that she says, now represents her 'empowered single mom' identity. Marie explains that she chose the name 'Kim' because, 'We all know the stroller isn't a man.' According to Marie, no one in public has shamed her for using a stroller for her older kids, however, 'I'm making fun of myself before you point it out to me.' 'Kim' is popular on MomTok, as some wrote. 'I hate when people shame you for using a stroller when you're walking like, 20 miles a day.' 'A stroller is sometimes the difference between having an amazing day and having everyone crash way too early. This is PRO behavior.' 'The stroller is just as much for mom, if not more, than for the kids. I don't want to hold my drink, carry a backpack or have nowhere to put my snacks. Stroller for the win!' 'This also helps normalize kiddos that need strollers/mobility devices. My kids do this and this would help them feel more at ease instead of sticking out.' 'My daughter is about to turn 7 and has low stamina due to having a tethered spinal cord until she was 3.5. Nicki and 'Kim' are giving me more confidence in continuing to use our BOB until over 8.' 'The stroller helps the children not complain but also gives you peace of mind knowing where they are in a sea of people. Imagine always panicking if they walk five feet away.' When a parent wrote, 'Absolutely not. My kids very rarely used a stroller and had no problem walking, including at Disney when they were 3. Hauling a stroller sucked,' the responses included a sarcastic, 'Congrats!' and 'Great for you!' Marie doesn't understand the big deal about strollers. 'Since when is vacation a competition to see how bada-- you can be?' Marie tells 'I'm trying to let down my guard so my kids see me having fun. I bring a stroller because I'm anticipating what could go wrong that day.' Marie says her 'very active' kids like resting in the stroller and do not care whether it's 'age appropriate.' Marie relies on the stroller at theme parks, airports, or at home, where she sometimes uses it as a laundry basket. The children do not use their stroller to traverse the entire theme park. Marie says when they are exhausted from walking or waiting in line, they plop down for a rest, including during Disney's evening fireworks display. Marie says the stroller lets her be a present mom and still 'shut my brain off,' knowing her kids are safe. The mom appreciates the TikTok posts in which she is tagged by moms revealing their strollers. 'People say, 'I use a stroller because of you — and I named her Kim,'' says Marie. 'If parents can get more out of an experience by using a stroller, it's not going to ruin anyone's life,' Deborah Gilboa, a family doctor and resilience expert tells emphasizing a 'more interesting' question: Why do we shame parents at all? Gilboa says the instinct to meddle precedes thousands of years, when family systems and communities needed to toughen up to survive. 'Matriarchs did it all the time,' says Gilboa. 'Now, we do this to strangers ... who we will never meet in real life.' Some parents judge, she says, 'to take the pressure off themselves by saying, 'At least I'm not as 'bad' as that person.'' Gilboa adds, 'Parents should be strategic and use whatever accommodations exist.' This article was originally published on

CNA938 Rewind - #TalkBack: If you're using a pram or stroller… stay off escalators?
CNA938 Rewind Last Sunday afternoon, the wheels of a woman's stroller got stuck between the steps of an escalator at HarbourFront Centre, which then became dislodged. No one, including the woman and her baby, was hurt. While there isn't a law disallowing the use of strollers on escalators in Singapore, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) strongly discourages the practice. Lance Alexander and Daniel Martin discuss further with Teo Orh Hai, Group Director for Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Group, BCA.
