The thrifty 90-year-old may be able to feed her beloved corgis for a week with the haul, or even buy a trolley-load of traditional shortbread for her summer in Scotland.
Her Majesty beamed as she received the prize, which can be redeemed online or in any Tesco store by the 90-year-old monarch.
She kept a firm hold on the £50 card, not letting go of a good bargain.
