Morrisons slashes prices on festive items

Morrisons has cut prices of 58 “popular” festive items and is committing to keeping the prices low until 31 December.

Products such as stuffing, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce and tin foil will see price cuts from today (6 November) so that shoppers can stock up ahead of Christmas day.

The supermarket will also reduce prices on drinks and nibbles such as mulled wine, bucks fizz, tonic and peanuts.

Morrisons is investing over £4m to cut the price of the products by an average of almost 20 per cent from current prices.

The total price of all 58 items in Morrisons festive basket is nearly £2 cheaper than the same basket of items would have cost in Christmas 2022, despite the significant inflation over the last year.

Rachel Eyre, Morrisons chief customer and marketing officer, said: “We know that Christmas is an expensive time of year and that our customers are having to make tough choices about what to put in their baskets.
“We are working hard to help them when it comes to their festive grocery shopping and want to protect them from rising costs so despite the significant inflation we have seen over the last twelve months, our basket of 58 festive items is cheaper than it was in 2022.”
