Research highlights post-holiday cravings

Tesco's research found that one in four Brits find coming home to an empty fridge one of the most frustrating parts of returning from holiday. A cup of tea tops the list of things holidaymakers crave, with 57% saying it is the first thing they want after a trip. Fresh milk was also highly sought after, while more than a quarter said they would reach for a custard cream.

Nearly a third of people look forward to a traditional Sunday roast after returning from holiday, and 70% said they try to eat healthier once back home.

Instagram giveaway and larger prize

As part of the campaign, Tesco and easyJet holidays are also giving away 10 £250 Tesco vouchers via Instagram, while one winner will receive an easyJet holidays getaway worth £1,500.

Passengers travelling through London Southend Airport on eligible flights can collect the complimentary bags from the baggage reclaim area while stocks last.
