Shoppers will benefit as Tesco moves to extend cuts

CONSUMERS are set to benefit from a new price war that has broken out among supermarket chains after Tesco announced it is to expand its price cut promotion on a national basis over the next two months.

The British supermarket group has promised to slash prices on 12,500 products at its stores in the Republic by 22% on average as part of its €100m Change for Good campaign.

Shoppers can hope to see up to €50 cut off their weekly grocery bill as a result of the price war between the leading supermarket chains.
