​Tesco locks 1,000 prices to help shoppers deal with cost-of-living crisis

The supermarket giant will also cut prices on hundreds of items and apply Aldi Price Match to hundreds more products.

A range of everyday products will be price-locked until the new year in the latest round of Tesco’s “low everyday prices”, including Typhoo One Cup teabags and Aquafresh Fresh & Minty toothpaste.

Tesco is matching more than 600 staple products to Aldi each week and says it will aim to pass on savings to customers “wherever it sees opportunities to do so”.

After announcing price cuts to 500 lines in June, the grocer has continued to slash prices every week since.

Products with price cuts include Andrex toilet tissue and pitted black olives, which have seen a 9% and 8% reduction respectively.

Tesco UK chief executive Jason Tarry said: “We know that this has been a year of budgeting carefully for shoppers, with customers wanting to make sure they are getting great value on their shop.

“By locking more than 1,000 prices, our customers know exactly how much they will pay for those items today, at Halloween, at Christmas and into 2024.”

“Food inflation is still with us, but by cutting prices wherever we can and by locking others to give customers certainty in their budgets, we are able to provide great value to our shoppers. 

“When you combine that with the more than 8,000 Clubcard Prices deals each week, there are thousands of reasons to shop at Tesco.”
