Tesco is set to cut the prices of more than 200 own-brand and branded products in its Express convenience stores.

Milk, bread, pasta and coffee are among 222 household essentials that have been reduced in price by an average of more than 10%. The retail giant 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 c-stores, 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. Whether you are picking up coffee and milk for the office or a loaf of bread and a tin of soup on the way home, our Express stores offer both convenience and great value.”

It comes as earlier this month, the supermarket giant added over 450 more cosmetics from Maybelline, L’Oreal Paris and Essie to Tesco.com, allowing customers to order the products for home delivery and click and collect.

Research found that Maybelline was the most searched for cosmetics brand on Tesco.com and follows the addition of Rimmel and Sally Hansen to the grocer’s website and app last year.
