Waitrose has reduced the prices of over 200 everyday supermarket items as part of its £100m investment to lower customer bills. The price cuts, including cupboard staples like butter and tomato ketchup, are now at least 10% cheaper without compromising on quality or Waitrose values such as sourcing higher welfare meat and supporting British farmers. This is the second time this year that the supermarket has lowered prices, following a £100m investment in February which attracted new customers. The ‘Essential Waitrose’ range of over 900 products is the largest value range of any UK supermarket. Charlotte Di Cello, commercial director for Waitrose, said they will continue to pass on savings to customers and pay farmers a fair price for their products.
