New tesco 7pm price rule affecting shoppers at all uk stores

CHANGES WILL BE MADE TO PRODUCTS IN ITS BAKERY AISLE 10:42, 31 May 2025 Tesco is introducing a new rule which will affect shoppers at stores across the UK. The supermarket is making changes

to products in its bakery aisle. More products will be discounted during evenings in a bid to tackle food waste. Some customers have spotted signs in stores informing them that loose bakery

products will be half price after the usual 7pm cut-off. On Facebook page Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a post read: "Spotted this in my local Tesco Express - not sure if all

stores, but maybe useful to someone." A picture of croissants and chocolate twists on a shelf with the '7pm' label next to them was posted, alongside: "Excludes bread and

gingerbread". Article continues below READ MORE: RUSSELL BRAND IN COURT OVER RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGES Loose bakery items include pastries such as pecan plaits, cinnamon or

raisin swirls and cheese croissants. A Tesco spokesperson said the discount is generally applied around 7pm but can vary by store. They added: "Markdowns on fresh products continue to

be popular and help to prevent good food from going to waste." Earlier this year, Tesco launched a trial to minimise food waste and hunger. Yellow sticker items in some Tesco Express

stores could be scanned through the checkouts for free after 9.30pm. Tesco said it would still give food to charities but staff would get priority access to yellow sticker items reduced

earlier in the day. Leftover food marked with the stickers will be available for customers to take home. A Tesco spokesperson previously said: "We are constantly looking for innovative

new ways to reduce food waste. Article continues below "In all our stores we offer unsold surplus food to charities and community groups, donating millions of meals each month.

"This trial, in a small number of our Express stores, will allow customers to take any remaining yellow stickered items for free at the end of the day, after they have first been

offered to charities and colleagues." _Don't miss the biggest and breaking stories by signing up to the BirminghamLive newsletter here._
