Tesco freezes prices on over 1,000 products including chips, beans, rice and coffee

Tesco has locked the price on more than 1,000 products to help shoppers struggling with the rising costs of living.

Heinz, Johnson's and Oral B are among big brands included in Tesco's money-saving campaign which applies to a range of products from cupboard staples and teatime favourites to household and beauty products. It means customers can enjoy McCains Home Chips for midweek dinners or a winter pick-me-up with Nescafe Original 3-in-1 and count on prices staying the same until 2023.

Many families have been struggling to cope with rising bills and mounting costs at supermarket checkouts, as the impacts of the Ukraine crisis and global inflation take a toll on the nation. Supermarkets are having to pass on some of the cost of soaring raw materials to consumers, leading to the price of basic goods rising at the fastest pace since September 2008, reports The Mirror.
