<\/div>\nThe Co-op has revealed its biggest ever pricing investment of \u00a370m, as it extends lower prices across everyday essentials such as milk, eggs and bread.<\/p>\n
The convenience retailer \u2013 which has more than 2,400 food stores and 4.58 million active members \u2013\u00a0looks to lower the cost of \u2018member-only\u2019 prices on everyday essential products.<\/p>\n
As a result, Co-op members have a chance to save up to 11% on retail prices and an average of \u00a3500 a year, with Co-op British Milk one pint selling for 85p, six Co-op free range eggs for \u00a31.40 and a Co-op sliced loaf for 76p.<\/p>\n
The investment includes a retail price reduction on more than 600 ranges, ensuring they are in line with or cheaper than at other rival stores. In total, Co-op has invested \u00a390m in prices this year.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, the retailer\u00a0launched a brand new campaign to support its membership proposition and the introduction of Member Prices.<\/p>\n
