One thrilled visitor, Cissy Jones, recently shared her experience on TikTok after visiting the market nearby.
Excited about the fantastic festive offer, the TikToker stated in her video : “If you go to Christmas markets at Tesco, you receive a free massive goodie bag.”
The “heavy” goodie bag included Bailey’s Squirty Cream, Lindt chocolate, Chocomel, Thatchers Alcohol-free Cider, and more.
While exploring the festive market, the visitor also enjoyed additional free treats such as mince pies, Toffifee, and more chocolate.
According to Cissy (@ cissyjoness ), who visited the market in Manchester Parrs Wood, “you need to purchase two items” at the stalls to qualify for the “free” goodie bag.
“I had to buy two items for the bag! Which cost £3.50 – or just enjoy the goodies at the market!” she noted in her caption.
