Here’s how I beat the supermarket to get £22 worth of branded groceries for less than £1!
This cashback shop was so successful because I used a few tricks to maximise my savings. I used in store offers, multiple cashback apps, Tesco Brand Guarantee, Shopmium referral credit for overage and did two separate transactions.
I used Checkoutsmart, Shopmium and Green Jinn for my cashback deals. I’ve realised cashback apps don’t seem to recognise multibuy offers and brand guarantee discounts, that’s why I love to do my cashback shops at Tesco. It means I can get better savings and sometimes get overage (more money back than paid). I had £8 referral credit on my Shopmium account, this meant that I would get additional cashback on some of my deals making items completely free as well as earning overage.

If you think you wouldn’t be able to do this yourself, I assure you that you can. It has taken me longer to type this post that it did working out how to get the most savings. It is just a case of stacking as many available deals and offers together as you can.
