Tesco has slashed the price of five traditional Easter vegetables to 15p for Clubcard members.
From 27 March (today) until 2 April, all rounder potatoes, carrots, swedes, brown onions and white cabbage are 15p on Clubcard Prices – down from 19p last Easter.
The supermarket has also introduced a range of Easter discounts on popular seasonal essentials, including 50% off a host of centrepieces and roasting joints and Tesco Whole Lamb Leg (£6.50 per kilo).
Other traditional favourites for the bank holiday include Tesco Large Beef Roasting Joint with Basting Fat (£6.00 per kilo), Tesco Boneless Salmon Side (£12.00 per kg) and Tesco Finest Smoked or Unsmoked Wiltshire Gammon Joint (£6.00 per kilo).

Meanwhile, the retailer says its unconventional twist on the traditional Hot Cross Bun – a strawberries and clotted cream variation which sparked controversy earlier this month – has become the grocer’s 2nd best seller, only pipped to the post by its Finest Extra Fruity Hot Cross Buns.
Tesco chief commercial officer Ashwin Prasad said: “We’re delighted to be helping our customers celebrate Easter with great value options for every budget.
“We have an exciting selection of great quality staples and treats, so whether you plan to make the most of the long weekend with a roast for the whole family, an Easter Egg hunt or are hosting friends, we have everything you need for a fantastic Easter at Tesco.”
The UK’s largest retailer’s new prices follow suit of other supermarket rival slashing the price of their veg in recent weeks. Earlier this week, Morrisons brought back its 19p vegetable sale that it initially offered in the run up to Christmas, as it looked to help shoppers save over Easter weekend.
