First of all, let’s make one thing clear. The price of the groceries you order with Tesco online are exactly the same as you would pay in store. You aren’t paying a premium for the convenience of home delivery, which is fantastic news.

The final price you pay for your shopping is the same final price you would have paid in store on the day your groceries were delivered to you. This means the price you are quoted when you checkout online is your ‘guide price’ as individual fruits and vegetables may need to be weighed, meat and poultry weights may also vary slightly, or the price of an individual item you have selected may go up or down in store too.

There’s no one-size-fits-all delivery fee for your Tesco delivery. In fact, Tesco now offers you their Delivery Saver pricing plans, to help you choose the best option for your needs.

With Delivery Saver, you can enjoy the flexibility of choosing a plan that suits your shopping frequency and budget, all while benefiting from reasonable delivery fees.

Tesco constantly monitors and adjusts pricing to remain competitive and to ensure that you receive the best value for your money. Their delivery pricing also takes into consideration factors including location and time slots, to offer you fair and transparent options.

Tesco delivery plans

The options might seem a little confusing at first, but let’s spell it out nice and clearly below.

Price Comparison

Check out the table below to see how the prices vary for the different services offered.

What you need to know:

• You do not save any money by paying upfront
  
  
• Paying for 12 months is cheaper than paying for 6 months twice (so plan ahead)
  
  
• Paying for 6 months off peak delivery twice is £12 more expensive than just selecting the 12 month off peak delivery
  
  
• Paying for 6 months anytime delivery twice is also £12 more expensive than just selecting 12 months anytime delivery
  
  
• 12 months is £12 cheaper overall, regardless of whether you pay monthly or upfront.
  
  

Service Comparison

Take a look at the table below to see the difference between off peak and anytime delivery from Tesco.

Still need to figure out which option to choose? Let us make it easy for you. If you’re happy to accept a few extra ‘rules’ and you’d like the cheapest service possible, the 12 month off peak option is for you.

On the other hand, if you want maximum flexibility, earlier delivery slots during the day and priority access to Christmas and Easter delivery slots, the 12 month anytime option is your best bet.

The minimum delivery spend for Tesco's online grocery delivery service is typically £50. However, this requirement may change over time and might vary by region.

If your online basket does not cost more than £50, you will be charged a £5 minimum basket fee. You will not pay this £5 charge if any of the following are true:

• You spend more than £50 (obviously)
  
  
• Your basket is under £50, but you later return and add more items to go above £50
  
  
• Some of your items are unavailable and the substitutions make your final total less than £50
  
  

If you are charged the £5 fee, you will earn Clubcard points on that value. The minimum order value for Click+Collect is £25.

Always double check the minimum delivery spend on the website or within the app when you make a purchase, or simply pay the additional £5 if you need to make a smaller online order.
