Tesco announces price cuts on 30 cupboard essentials to 'help shoppers spend less'

Tesco has cut the cost of a range of cupboard staples, with 30 more items having had their prices reduced in welcome news for shoppers amid the cost of living crisis.

The supermarket confirmed on Wednesday that its own brand pasta has been reduced by 15p both in stores and online, while vegetable and sunflower oil are now also up to 15p cheaper. It comes after Tesco previously announced price drops for customers on essentials such as milk, bread and butter within recent weeks.

Newly reduced items include dinnertime favourites like penne, fusilli, macaroni and spaghetti, with 28 of Tesco's 500g own-brand dried pastas in total having been reduced from 95p to 80p. One litre of vegetable oil now costs £1.85 down from £1.99, while sunflower oil has been cut from £2.40 to £2.25.
