Tesco Reintroduces Kids Eat Free Scheme for February Half-Term
Tesco has officially confirmed the return of its popular Kids Eat Free scheme to The Café and Coffee Shop locations across the United Kingdom for the upcoming February half-term. This policy change is designed to provide crucial support to families as household budgets often face increased strain during school holidays.
Details of the Offer and Availability
The initiative will be available in 332 stores nationwide that feature a Tesco Café or Coffee Shop. Customers can take advantage of this offer by scanning their Clubcard, allowing them to receive one free kids' meal with any adult purchase for as little as 65p. This makes it an affordable option for families looking to save money while enjoying a meal out.
Menu Options for Children
Children have a variety of meal choices under this scheme, including:
- Breakfast options such as Egg and Soldiers or Pancakes.
- Hot meals like Omega 3 Fish Fingers and Baked Chicken Strips.
- Pick 'n' Mix deal which includes a sandwich, drink, snacks, and fruit.
These options cater to different tastes and dietary preferences, ensuring that families have flexible and nutritious choices.
Statement from Tesco Leadership
Claire De Silva, Head of Communities at Tesco, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating: "We know that household budgets can be really stretched over school holidays, so offering free meals to children during this time is just one of the ways we can support families." This reflects Tesco's commitment to community welfare and addressing the financial challenges many families face.
Scheme Duration and Additional Savings
The Kids Eat Free scheme will run exclusively on weekdays from Monday, February 16 to Friday, February 20 in England and Wales. In addition to this offer, families can further maximize their savings by exchanging Clubcard vouchers with Tesco Reward Partners, such as PizzaExpress and Cineworld, during the half-term period. This provides an extended opportunity for budget-friendly entertainment and dining options.
Overall, this policy change by Tesco aims to alleviate some of the financial pressure on families, making the school holidays more manageable and enjoyable for all involved.
