Tesco has slashed the price of delivery on its Whoosh rapid grocery delivery service.
The supermarket has announced that customers will now only have to pay £2.99 - down from £5 - to have their products delivered direct to their door within an hour.
Tesco told The Mirror that the cut on the price of Whoosh delivery is permanent from now on.
more than half of Whoosh deliveries are made within 30 minutes, Tesco said.
Online shoppers will be able to order snacks, beers or pizzas - ideal if you're watching the World Cup - as well as fresh produce, everyday and baby essentials, and household products.
Tesco said about half the UK population is now covered by its Whoosh delivery service - but it might not prove cost-effective if you're planning on getting lots of deliveries from Tesco throughout the month.
The supermarket's Anytime Delivery plan, which delivers food on the same day, costs £7.99 monthly for as many orders as you like.
You would save money buying an Anytime Delivery plan pass compared to Whoosh if you plan on buying more than three deliveries from Tesco.
Do keep in mind though, that only Whoosh delivers in under an hour.
Tesco’s Head of Whoosh, Greg Bertrand, said: “We know football fans won’t want to miss a second of the action, making our superfast delivery service Whoosh the ideal way to keep your eye on the ball.
“And we’re cutting our Whoosh delivery fee to just £2.99 – meaning fans can get what they need delivered direct to their door within an hour for even less.”
While Whoosh deliveries are available for most of the UK Tesco has confirmed that more locations will be popping up around the country.
Tesco shoppers will also be able to utilise their Clubcard when checking out.
Customers will also be able to follow their order from the store to their door as live updates will be available on the Tesco Clubcard & Grocery app.
The news comes as Tesco is rebranding its “reduced to clear” section, to allow visibility for customers looking to save money on items.
Tesco will now have a whole section called 'reduced in price - just as nice' - where discounted yellow sticker items are normally found - in 100 stores by Christmas, then in more stores throughout 2023.
Meanwhile, Tesco is also offering customers two pizzas and one of a selection of alcoholic, non-alcoholic and soft drinks for just £5.50.
With the £5.50 pizza and drink deal, customers can choose from:
- Tesco Thin & Crispy Cheese Feast Pizza
- Tesco Thin & Crispy Pepperoni Pizza
- San Miguel, 4x330ml
- San Miguel 0.0% Alcohol, 4x330ml
- Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, 6x250ml
- Diet Coke, 6x250ml
- Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, 4x330ml
- Coca-Cola Zero Sugar & Caffeine Free, 4x330ml
