Tesco is making a major change in its stores and online, by slashing the price of its most popular items.
The retailer is adding 80 products to its popular Aldi Price Match scheme, which has been running for the last five years.
More than 500 items, including big name brands, are price matched as part of this, but the new reductions will see even more supermarket favourites available at ‘great value’.
As such, shoppers will now be able to get iceberg lettuce, houmous, baby plum tomatoes, ice creams, steak, red onions and more at prices that rival those available in the UK’s cheapest supermarket.
In case you missed it, Aldi was recently crowned the cheapest in the UK for the month of May by the consumer experts at Which?, who found a shop of 82 items cost £135.48 on average there.
At Tesco, the same shop was £150.26 with a Clubcard and £152.35 without one.
Speaking about the price match change at Tesco, group chief commercial officer, Ashwin Prasad said: ‘We are absolutely committed to providing great value for Tesco customers and we have carefully chosen more than 80 additional products to add to our Aldi Price match scheme.
‘We have added many customer favourites including our Tesco own-brand houmous pots and baby plum tomatoes, giving customers the assurance that they are getting great prices on some of our most popular products.’
As well as the price match scheme, Tesco currently runs other deals including 1,000 prices being fixed as part of its Low Everyday Prices and there are a whopping 9,000 Clubcard prices on offer to members each week.
New items being added to Tesco’s Price Match scheme:
- Houmous (200g), 99p
- Iceberg Lettuce (200g), 64p
- Baby Plum Tomatoes (300g), 78p
- Two Steak Slices (300g), £1.75
- Red Onions (3 Pack), 95p
- Lightly Salted Tortilla chips (200g), 89p
- Two Breaded Chunky cod Fillets (350g), £3.49
- Deep Pan Cheese Pizza (386g), £1.35
- Fred & Flo Easy Fit Pants Size 4 (42 pack), 33.56
- Fred & Flo Baby Shampoo (500ml), 82p
- Milk Chocolate Ice Creams (3 pack), £1.39
- Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Creams (4 pack), £1.25
The retailer also recently introduced a brand new perk for shoppers that’s all to do with their car parks.
Clubcard members who have an electric vehicle are now able to earn points while they shop if they charge their car at one of the Pod chargers at Tesco Extra and Superstores.
One Clubcard point is awarded for every pound spent at the charging point and at present, Pod operates roughly 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco car Parks across the UK.
In London, there are 10 superstore locations with the bays, including Southwark, Kensington, Hammersmith, Bromley By Bow, Lewisham, South Tottenham and Finchley.
Tesco also recently announced an exciting new Clubcard promotion that would give one lucky customer the chance to become an instant ‘points millionaire’.
To celebrate the supermarket loyalty scheme’s 30th year, a million Virgin Points will be awarded to one lucky customer, which they can then be spent on holidays, flights, travel upgrades and experiences galore
For context, this top prize is enough for three nights (for two people) at the Mahali Mzuri luxury safari resort in Kenya’s Maasai Mara, three nights at the Kasbah Tamadot retreat in the Atlas mountains, and six nights at Mont Rochelle in the heart of South Africa’s wine region.
Five runners up will also get 500,000 points each, equivalent to the value of around $7,000 (£5,174) according to Nerdwallet analysis.
To be in the running, all you need to do is auto-exchange a minimum of 250 Clubcard points with Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club – but you’ll need to act fast, as the competition closes on July 20.
