Tesco slashes price of hundreds of products that are bought 'week-in, week-out'

Other items included in the price cut include ones which have been identified as summer favourites.

Prices at Tesco have experienced an average reduction of around 13 per cent.

Pasta witnessed a five pence cut and 10 pence has been taken off milk.

Both products were cut just weeks ago.

Tesco shoppers will now pay 20 pence less for a 500 gram pack of pasta than they would have in May.

A total of 20 pence has also been taken off the price of a four-pint bottle of milk since April.

A 145 gram pack of tinned tuna is down by 10 pence, costing consumers just 80 pence.

Frozen cod fillets also witnessed a 25 pence reduction to lower its overall cost to £3.75.

Tesco Chief Product Officer, Ashwin Prasad, 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.

“With price cuts on products like grapes, peppers, rice and tuna, customers will find it’s even cheaper to eat healthily with Tesco this summer.

“And we’ll continue to work closely with our suppliers to pass on price cuts to our customers whenever we can.”

However, the UK’s largest supermarket recently said it was not making too much money amid the cost-of-living crisis.

Tesco and other supermarket brands had been accused of making excess profits by increasing prices for food and fuel.

Food prices rose by 14.6 per cent in the year to June, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC).

The figure stood at 15.4 per cent in the year to May.
