Many of the new items will be from its own-brand range – with some items less than a third of the price of branded names. The move has been made in a bid to save shoppers cash in Express shops, of which there are 2,000 across the UK. It comes after it was revealed shoppers could end up paying more at convenience stores because they are less likely to stock budget ranges, according to Which? research. The report found shoppers buying the same 75 items at a Tesco Express, including Hovis bread and own-brand milk, would spend £817 more a year than those shopping at a regular Tesco supermarket. While the chain has swapped out the items for a cheaper own-brand range, the prices won't be as low as its value range. This means that items may still cost more than at its bigger stores where you get the full range of options. Tesco has declined to say exactly which brands won't be available, just that they are "well-known". Among the own-brand lines being introduced include Tesco penne pasta for just 85p and Tesco smooth peanut butter for £1.65. Both of these items are said to be 50% cheaper than the branded item they're replacing. Other cupboard essentials being switched out include basmati rice microwave pouches for 75p equivalents. Plus, frozen peas are also being changed up for Tesco's own version, which cost 40% less than the branded item - costing £1.65. Some other branded lines, like toothpaste, are being replaced by a cheaper branded alternative at less than a third of the original price. It's good news for parents too as the chain){kind=link}
