A mum has shared how you can get a free kids’ meal at Dunelm if you spend just £4 at the cafe.
Sadie Ann, who posts below @sadieannbarnesshared: “Kids eat FREE all day, every day at the Pausa cafes inside @Dunelm!
“Go grab a well-deserved coffee and cake and let your child enjoy some delicious food.”
She added that the complimentary kids’ meal includes a main course, a drink and two snacks, which is sure to keep young ones’ tummies full.
Shoppers were quick to share their thoughts on the hack, with one saying: “Thanks for sharing!”
It’s not the only place offering free meals.
Shoppers can enjoy a free meal at any Morrisons Café with an easy one-word code.
Customers just need to say ‘Order Henry’ to receive a potato with Heinz Cheesy Beanz.
And supermarket giant Tesco is bringing back its incredible Kids Eat Free initiative this summer.
The offer is open to all stores across the UK, as long as they have an attached cafe and customers have a Clubcard to hand.
Tesco’s Kids Eat Free offer gives children a free hot meal, breakfast or pick ‘n’ mix offer when an adult purchases any item in a Tesco cafe.
Across the UK, the scheme starts at different times, starting in Scotland and Northern Ireland on Monday.
For the Scots, it will work until August 16th, while Northern Ireland will have access until August 30th.
In England and Wales opens a little later, on July 22nd, and runs until August 30th.

The offer only applies from Monday to Friday, excluding weekends, and is subject to availability in each store.
Shoppers will only be able to complete the deal if they present a valid Clubcard physically or via the Tesco mobile app at the checkout.
The offer has been praised since Tesco began offering the incentive.
An adult needs to purchase any item in the cafes to make their child eligible for the free meal – meaning they can unlock it for just 60 cents.
Any type of drink, breakfast or lunch option counts, which means it couldn’t be easier to get the free meal and keep all the little ones happy.
Money Saving Tips for Parents
We’ve put together six important tips to cut costs, win freebies and ensure you don’t get fined.
- Free prescriptions and dental care – Prescriptions cost £9.15 per unit in England, while NHS dental costs vary by location. You can get both for free during pregnancy and for 12 months after your baby’s due date. Ask your doctor or midwife for a maternity exemption certificate (MATEX) to claim free care.
- Free milk, infant formula, vitamins, or fruits and vegetables – Under Healthy Start program, you may be eligible for the freebies if you are at least 10 weeks pregnant or have a child under four and receive certain benefits such as Universal Credit.
- Free grant of £500 – In England, Northern Ireland and Wales, you may be entitled to a Sure Start grant of £500 if you are receiving certain benefits and are expecting your first child or expecting more than one baby – such as twins. out the following form on Gov.uk and ask your doctor or midwife to sign it.
- Register the birth on time or face a £200 fine – You need to register the birth at your local registry office within 42 days of your baby’s birth. This costs £11 in England and Wales.
- Update a will or update it – 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 will go to the surviving spouse. If you don’t want this to happen, you need to make a will stating your wishes.
- Consider taking out life insurance – Nobody likes to think about death, but if something happened to you, would the family be able to survive without your salary? Otherwise, many want to consider life insurance. Use a comparison service to find not only the cheapest coverage, but also the one that best suits your needs.
