'I challenged myself to buy only Clubcard items in Tesco and couldn't believe how it turned out'

I read somewhere that one of the benchmarks of being a grown up is always knowing where your Tesco Clubcard is. A sentiment that hit hard as on my infrequent shopping trips to said supermarket, I regularly spend 99.9 per cent of the time turning my purse inside and out in exasperation and thrusting my fingers into the deepest crevices of never used before pockets in a bid to locate the elusive item.

On a recent trip, such was my frustration at the missed opportunities for some serious saving, I abandoned my basket mid shop and drove all the way home again to search through my home office drawers, tearing out piles of papers until I was flooded with relief at the glimpse of blue plastic.

Obviously, with the current price of fuel at an all time high - this is only worth it if the Tesco is in a two mile radius. The thing is, having and using a Tesco Clubcard in my opinion is well worth it .

The discounts can be pretty substantial and are usually on decent products. So, finally pre-armed with my flighty Tesco club card, I hit the store on Bury Old Road in Prestwich with a mission to spend around £70 purely on club card deals only and see if it produced a substantial amount of solid meals.
