UK-based supermarket chain Morrisons has invested more than £16m ($19.3m) to cut the prices of 130 of its entry-level products.
The retailer has reduced the prices of fresh products, cheese, fruit and vegetables, as well as frozen ready meals and cupboard fillers.
Household essentials such as laundry powder, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets, as well as toothbrushes, toothpaste and sanitary products, have also had their prices reduced.
The price cut is intended to help customers with their weekly shop amid the UK’s current cost-of-living crisis.
Morrisons said that the price cuts will be communicated to customers via TV, radio, press, digital display, social media, email and online activity.
Morrisons chief executive David Potts said: “Our Savers range offers customers great value on the products they buy every day.
