Are they the Spend X and get Y off vouchers?
I use those to stock up on cat food, as most places are much of a muchness on pouches unless you buy the jumbo boxes.

Maz does similar with the 'spend £20 get £2 off' ones the local Co-op often give out

Not necessary encouraging you to spend more per-se.
But rewarding you for spending more with them in one spend: rather than spreading the same amount across other vendors.

Yes and no...
I have to keep the girls fed, so offers like these are good for buying cat food in bulk. Tesco prices on a box of 12 or a box of 40 are pretty competitive already when compared to Wilko or Zooplus, so when you add the money off, plus the clubcard points, it's a worthwhile exercise. Though people DO give you strange looks when you've got fifty or sixty quids worth of cat food in your trolley.
Otherwise I'll just use the voucher for an ordinary shop and top it up with things like toilet roll and bubble bath and canned / dry goods that I use anyway. Though I'm luckier than most when it comes to storage space, and so CAN do things this way.
I don't go bananas with these kinds of vouchers though, and if I don't actually need anything, they don't get used.

Don’t lie. We saw you hoarding toilet rolls during COVID 🤣😂

Actually, no... I had vouchers for toilet roll during Covid, and couldn't get any for love nor money - which caused much hilarity with my usual till lady in Tesco.
Thank goodness I always buy the packs of 24 - one in use, one on standby.
