<\/div>\nOcado has kicked off its Back to School price cuts, with a further 200 items reduced in its Big Price Drop.<\/p>\n
Products included in the online grocer\u2019s drop have a particular focus on a variety of helpful
items for back to school shopping including Heinz Beans (-6% was \u00a34 now \u00a33.75 for four cans), Copella Apple Juice (-29% was \u00a32.80, now \u00a32), Walkers Ready Salted crisps (-3% was \u00a33.25, now \u00a33.15 for 12 packs) and Ocado Own-Range easy peelers (-6% was \u00a31.20, now \u00a31.10).<\/p>\n
The latest round of reductions follows Ocado\u2019s price cuts on 100 products back in June and the launch of the Ocado Price Promise earlier in 2023,<\/p>\n
It compares prices against over 10,000 like-for-like products on Tesco.com: if a customer\u2019s shop would have been cheaper at Tesco, they receive the difference off their next shop.<\/p>\n

service and unbeatable choice \u2013 and delivering great value is just as important to us.
Many of the products we\u2019ve reduced today will help with those back-to-school shops
and include big name brands, Ocado Own-Range and M&S items too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re committed to offering our customers reassuringly good value and are working hard to add more products to the Big Price Drop soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the start of the month news emerged that Ocado is planning on expanding its same-day delivery options to create more slots for customers as it faces\u00a0growing pressures from part-owner M&S to start showing signs of a turnaround.<\/p>\n
Although\u00a0the grocer offers same-day delivery in most locations across the UK, its availability is limited to a few thousand each week.<\/p>\n
It is believed that its focus will be on getting shoppers to order larger deliveries for same-day slots, rather than just last-minute ingredients which are typically sold on delivery apps.<\/p>\n
