Tesco bringing in major change to Express stores 'starting from today'

Tesco will slash the prices of everyday items at its Express stores, the supermarket giant has said. The changes start from Friday, November 22, with Tesco cutting more than 200 own-brand and branded products in its Express convenience stores.

Tesco, which is rivalled by Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Asda and Lidl and Aldi, has made more than 2,800 price cuts across stores in recent months. From this week, a four-pint bottle of milk will cost £1.45 at the grocer’s supermarkets, while 300g chicken breast portions are down 25p to £2.25 and a 200g jar of Tesco Gold Instant Coffee costs 25p less at £2.25.

Among the branded products cut are Warburtons White Sliced Sandwich Rolls, with the price of a six-pack cut by 10p to £1.20, while Domestos Original bleach is £1.19 following an 11p reduction. Tesco chief executive Ken Murphy said: “Today’s round of price cuts on more than 200 lines in our Express stores underlines our commitment to offering great value to Tesco customers.
