Shoppers have been warned that they could be paying extra by opting for convenience branches over supermarkets. Research carried out by ESA Retail found that it may be adding as much as 10 per cent to grocery costs.
The smaller convenience options, such as Tesco Express, are typically located in busier city locations. Tesco was found to have the highest price gap between their larger supermarkets and their convenience stores, with a staggering 10.4 per cent difference in prices.
The retail experts compared prices on 1,900 Tesco items to work out the difference, reports the Mirror. However, Tesco have said that they are committing to more competitive rates across stores and online.
