Tesco reduces size of its ready meals - but some are more expensive than before

Eagle-eyed Tesco shoppers may have spotted a change to some of the meals they have added to their trolleys recently.

The supermarket has reduced the size of its own-brand ready meals, cutting them by 50g each; but buying these smaller products won’t save customers any pennies. The price of some of the reduced ready meals has remained the same - and others are even more expensive than before.

According to research from The Grocer, Tesco has swapped out its 450g ready meals for 400g versions, while 800g meals have also shrunk to 750g. Data from Assosia showed that the supermarket’s Cottage Pie is now 50g lighter, but still costs the same at £3.50.
