Tesco has slashed prices on more than 500 everyday products, offering some relief to shoppers during the cost-of-living crisis. The supermarket says the reductions focus on items bought week in, week out, as well as summer favourites.
The latest round of cuts includes a further 5p off pasta and 10p off milk, marking the second time both staples have been reduced in recent weeks. Tesco said shoppers will now pay 20p less for a 500g pack of pasta than in May, and 20p less for a four-pint bottle of milk compared with April.
Ashwin Prasad, Tesco's chief product officer, said: 'We know that more than ever our customers are looking for great value, and this huge round of price cuts on 500 key household essentials will help their budgets go a little further.' He added that reductions on items such as grapes, peppers, rice and tuna would make healthier eating more affordable this summer.
The supermarket also confirmed the return of its Kids Eat Free scheme for the summer holidays. Families can get a free children's meal when a paying adult uses a Clubcard and spends as little as 60p in Tesco cafes.
The offer will be available at 310 Tesco cafes across the UK from 24 July to 1 September in England and Wales, 3 July to 1 September in Northern Ireland, and 3 July to 11 August in Scotland.
