Morrisons has launched major savings across hundreds of essentials ahead of the summer holidays.

The discounts are available in stores nationwide and online within multiple categories, such as fresh seasonal fruit, lunchbox essentials, quick-meal ingredients and snacks or drinks for picnics and summer gatherings.

Morrisons Market Street is launching 3 for £5 deals throughout July and August on berries, cherries, grapes, nectarines, apples, oranges and pears.

Some discounted picnic staples include Walkers French Fries for £1.50 until 2nd August and Philadelphia Soft Cheese 165g, which have been decreased to £1.35 from £2.25 until 28 July.

Alex Paver, customer value & loyalty director at Morrisons, said: “With the school holidays meaning more meals at home and more days out, we know value matters more than ever.

“That’s why we’ve focused these savings on our Market Street fresh fruit alongside popular snacks and drinks, helping customers enjoy fresh, quality food and make the most of summer for less.”

Morrisons also has drink offers, including 2 for £3 on 500ml bottles of Fever Tree Refreshingly Light Tonic Water, Light Elderflower Tonic Water and Refreshingly Light Ginger Ale.

The discounted savings are set to be highlighted in Morrisons stores and online, which will make it easier for shoppers to spot.

The move aims to help families manage their budgets over the school holidays with a range of reduced offers.
