The supermarket calls its Sport for School & Clubs scheme the country's biggest ever voucher-collecting initiative.
The figures are certainly mind-boggling. The stores give one voucher for every 10 spent.
Some 240 million vouchers have been collected. That represents a spending of 2,400,000,000. Or nearly two and a half billion quid. And that's a minimum. Given that you only get a voucher for every compete tenner spent, the real total through the tills for those vouchers could be half as much again, in just under two months.
What does that mean to clubs? How much do you get for your voucher? If football is your thing, goalposts might be handy. How about a pair of portable freestanding five-a-side posts with mitred crossbar joints? Yours for a mere 7,402 vouchers. Gulp. That would require a spending at Tesco of upwards of 74,000.
