Dopelganger trolley
Not done it myself, but I double dare some b3tans to try it out and report on your success.

Step 1, team up with a trolley buddy, henceforth to be known as TB (unfortunate, ehh)

Step 2, take TB into supermarket, both acquire trolleys and do your weekly shop, both of you must acquire exact quantities of exactly the same products. (see where this is going?)

Step 3, you go and pay for one trolley load of goods, keep the receipt and put items directly into the trolley, no bags.

Step 4, leave TB in store and unpack your paid for goods into your car (we're hoping you have one). Then return to store and find TB

Step 5, meet up with TB in store and saunter out with his load of shopping. If collared by security guard brandish receipt for paid for goods. Hey presto, double shopping for half the price.

Step 6, alternate ending. Return one load of shopping and demand money back. Up to you

Step 7, report back with your success stories, or otherwise.

Go on! It's only Tescos!

In theory...
It might work. However, you'd have to figure out how to get TB past the checkouts - (you could always go through the main entrance I suppose, but it would be suspicious)- and the fact that there'd be no shopping bags may also be suspect.

I guess it depends on how sharp the security are on that particular day!

The bag issue
This might work with something big, like a TV, that you couldn't bag up...

Actually,
the bag thing isn't an issue, as Tescos offer a less bags used thing, and if I remember correctly it marks on the receipt if you get the points for not using bags.

We do our weekly shop straight into the trolley and then put it in boxes in the boot,

Trojan trolley
Hopefully the security guard would remember the first, bagless trolley and his/her/it's pea brain would confuse this with TB's trolley.

Only one way to find out.

Alot of tescos have two exits,
just use a different one for each person.

Or
Put your items into bags, put items into car, take bags back into store, load the bags with TB's items and walk out. Just say you went back in to get a newspaper or something. They don't usually question you anyway if you have a bag. Genius idea though!
