Supermarket shoppers have been warned they have limited time to spend their Tesco Clubcard vouchers.
The Clubcard loyalty scheme has been popular for years, since it allows people to collect points which are turned into vouchers they can then spend in store.
Each point is worth 1p to spend at Tesco, so 500 points becomes a £5 Clubcard voucher, which Tesco sends out automatically four times a year, provided you have at least 150 points.

However, many of the popular coupons are due to run out on August 31, 2021, which is the last day shoppers will be able to use them.
They were originally set to expire in February this year, but Tesco extended their use-by date by six months due to the coronavirus pandemic, reports The Mirror.
Tesco Clubcard vouchers typically have a two-year expiry period.
For anyone unsure about when their coupon will last until, shoppers can check in stores so they don’t miss out.
Tesco Clubcard is the supermarket’s loyalty scheme which lets shoppers earn points as they spend in stores - these are then transferred into vouchers, depending on how many points you have built up.
Shoppers get one point for every £1 they spend in store and online, or one point for every £2 spent on fuel.
You can collect points through Tesco Bank and Tesco Mobile as well.
You need a minimum of 150 points to get any sort of voucher, which will be worth £1.50 to spend in Tesco - or save them up, and 500 points would be worth £5, for example.
But Tesco isn’t the only place where you can spend Clubcard points. According MoneySavingExpert.com, if you swap your points to use at a Rewards Partner, you could potentially triple their value - so 500 points could end up being worth £15.
This is possible at restaurant chains such as Bella Italia, Cafe Rouge, Pizza Express, Prezzo and Zizzi. The full list of Reward Partners is here .
