It's a common mistake to chuck away your receipt as soon as you get it but you might want to change your ways if you want to save some money.

That's because Tesco is providing free vouchers for essential washing products on their receipts] - but only for Clubcard holders.

One person took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to spread the news of the eye-opening offer.

On their receipt, it clearly reads: "FREE Fairy non-bio gel 26 washes" - a product currently listed for £6.50.

Another image of a receipt uploaded by a different user was also offering a free box of Fairy Non-Bio Washing Pods 25 Washes, also worth £6.50, for those with a Clubcard.

Some customers have even shown off some of the things they've been getting.

One person managed to grab a bottle of Fairy Fabric Conditioner, Lenor Fabric Conditioner and Fairy Washing Up Liquid thanks to checking their receipts - a bill that would've usually cost them around £10.

"When you shop in Tesco make sure you click you want your receipt," they said. "It prints off vouchers for some free items and these were mine."

Another person managed to grab a bottle of Ariel Original Washing Gel worth £6.50, claiming the freebie deal was ";brilliant".

Fellow shoppers from around the UK have since been scrambling for their most recent receipts to see if they've missed any of the incredible deals.

"Off I go running to check my receipt from yesterday," joked one person on the Facebook group.

"I got a free Fairy Outdoorables fabric softener in my Clubcard App last week!" said another.

A third person added: "I got fairy non-bio wash powder with mine!"

A spokesperson for Tesco said that Clubcard "unlocks the best value" from Tesco and its Clubcard Coupons are "just one" of the ways that loyalty card holders can save on their Tesco shop.

Who can get the coupons and how?

We asked Tesco for some more information on who can bag the coupons and how.

Clubcard holders can get personalised coupons at the till for targeted promotions, which can include free products (as in this case).

Tesco encourages shoppers to check any coupons they get with their receipts.

Millions of Tesco customers also receive Clubcard Coupons through the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app.

This is based on their shopping habits so will vary between customers.

The tailored coupons are selected based on the customer’s tastes and include bonus points and instant discounts for them to use both in-store and online.

Any active coupons can be found under the coupons heading in the Clubcard section of the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app, and customers can use the app to add them to either their in-store or online shop.

More details can be found on the website.

Here are some examples of the sorts of coupons a customer might receive:

  • 25 extra points with any Tesco kitchen towel
  • Free Fairy Outdoorable fabric conditioner 55 washes
  • Free Fairy non-bio washing pods 13 washes.

We would encourage Clubcard holders to check the Clubcard app regularly to ensure they are not missing out on coupons or expiring Clubcard vouchers or rewards.

How to save money on your supermarket shop

THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.

You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.

If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.

Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.

Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.

This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.

Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.

For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.

If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.

Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
