Laura McKenzie, a resourceful mum of six, managed to purchase nearly £100 worth of Tesco food for just £4.41, providing a Christmas feast for 12 people—including her six children and parents. By leveraging Tesco’s Clubcard points and smart shopping tactics, Laura turned an ordinary grocery run into an extraordinary bargain.
She shared her experience with The Sun, saying, “I bought our entire Christmas dinner and snacks for just £4.41. I had seen someone do this the previous year and thought it was a brilliant idea, so I decided to try it myself.”
Laura’s strategy involved routinely topping up her car at the local Tesco garage while always scanning her Clubcard, ensuring every point counted. “Tesco also has Clubcard Challenges, which are excellent for earning vouchers,” she explained.

Additionally, Laura recommends joining Tesco’s Christmas Savers Club, which releases vouchers in November and keeps them valid for two years, removing any worries about expiration. Her total shopping basket was valued at £96.81, but thanks to Clubcard deals and vouchers, she paid only £4.41.
Highlights of Laura’s shopping haul include a mix of meats, vegetables, cheeses, and festive treats—all for cleverly reduced prices:
- Tesco Lamb Half Leg Joint, 0.5kg – 35p
- Tesco Extra Large Whole Chicken, 2.1-2.6kg – 29p
- Tesco Finest 30 Pigs in Blankets, 650g – 35p
- Slow Roasting Beef Joint, 1kg – 75p
- Tesco Finest Mince Pies, 6 pack – 24p
- Tesco Soft Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream, 2L – 8p
- Tesco Double Chocolate Gateau, 600g – 12p
- Plus a variety of vegetables, dips, breads, and snacks—all at rock-bottom prices.
Laura’s clever use of Clubcard points and attention to Tesco promotions shows that with a little planning and consistency, anyone can make significant savings on their grocery bills, especially during the festive season.
