Morrisons pledges to match rival prices on 500 'everyday essentials'

Morrisons has committed to matching prices on 500 'everyday essentials' against Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Aldi, and Lidl, intensifying the supermarket price war.

  • Morrisons will match prices on 500 'everyday essentials' with Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Aldi, or Lidl.
  • The scheme includes products like bananas, bread, chicken fillets, bacon, pizza, and fresh counter items.
  • Morrisons reported a £629m pre-tax loss in the year to October 2025 and its net debt grew to £7.5bn.

Morrisons has pledged to match prices with its rivals on hundreds of products, as the supermarket intensifies an emerging price war among UK grocers. The private-equity-owned chain has vowed that 500 of its “everyday essentials” will not be found cheaper at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Aldi, or Lidl.

The Bradford-based supermarket stated that this commitment extends to items such as bananas, bread, chicken fillets, bacon, and pizza. The new scheme will also cover fresh lines from its fishmonger and bakery counters.

Alex Paver, Morrisons’s customer and marketing director, said: “Our Unbeatable price commitment means customers can trust that the prices on these products simply won’t be beaten by Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi or Lidl.”

Morrisons recorded a £629m pre-tax loss in the year to October 2025 and its net debt increased from £7.1bn to £7.5bn in the last year. The company also shed nearly 5,000 jobs during this period.

Why this matters: The move by Morrisons highlights the ongoing competition among UK supermarkets to attract shoppers amid intense discounting.

What this means for you: You may find competitive prices on 500 'everyday essential' products at Morrisons, as the supermarket pledges to match rivals including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Aldi, and Lidl.
