A mum shared how you can get a free kids meal at Dunelm if you spend just £4 in the cafe.
Sadie Ann, who among other things posts @sadieannbarnesshared: “Kids eat FREE all day at Pausa Coffee Shops in @Dunelm!
“Go get a well-deserved cup of coffee and a piece of cake and let your little one enjoy something tasty.”
She added that the free kids’ meal includes a main course, a drink and two snacks, which will definitely keep the kids’ tummies full.
Buyers were quick to share their thoughts on the hack, with one saying, “Thanks for sharing!”
It’s not the only place offering free meals.
Customers can eat for free at any Morrisons Café with a simple one-word code.
Customers simply say ‘Ask for Henry’ and will receive a baked potato with Heinz Cheesy Beanz.
And supermarket giant Tesco is bringing back its fantastic Kids Eat Free initiative this year summer.
The offer is open to all stores in the UK, provided they have a café and customers have a Clubcard to hand.
With the Kids Eat Free offer at Tesco, children get a free hot meal, breakfast or mixed pack when an adult buys an item in a Tesco café.
In the UK the programme starts at different times. In Scotland and Northern Ireland it starts on Monday.
For Scots, the scheme applies until 16 August, while Northern Ireland can use it until 30 August.
About in England and Wales will open a little later, on July 22, and will last until August 30.

The offer is only valid from Monday to Friday, excluding weekends. The offer is subject to availability in the respective store.
Customers can only take advantage of the offer if they can present a valid Clubcard at the checkout, either physically or via the Tesco mobile app.
The offer has been praised ever since Tesco started offering the discount.
An adult must purchase an item from the cafes for their child to qualify for the free meal, meaning they can unlock the meal for as little as 60p.
Any type of drink, breakfast or lunch counts, so it’s easy to get a free meal and keep the little ones happy.

- Updating or updating a will – If you don’t have a will, in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, where one parent dies, children will only inherit money if the estate is worth more than £250,000 – otherwise all the money goes to the surviving spouse.

If not, you may want to consider life insurance. Use a comparison service to find not only the cheapest, but also the most suitable cover for your needs.
