Tesco hikes prices on 600 items in desperate bid to prevent shoppers stockpiling


TESCO has resorted to pulling all multi-pack deals and promotions in a bid to stop shoppers from hoarding supplies and leaving little for everyone else.

More than 600 products sold by Tesco have become more expensive, The Times reports.
And Britain’s biggest supermarket chain pulled more than 8,000 groceries from its selection last week.


The choice of pet food was slashed the most while baby items remained the same.
Less than half of all foods for dogs and cats have disappeared, which will be bad news for owners of fussy pets.
The price of two times of TOTM Applicator Tampons was raised from £2.20 to £3.20.
The steepest hikes were applied to the Tesco Finest range.
He said: “We have not increased our prices.
“These are challenging times and we are facing unprecedented demand.
“In the current climate, when we have a limited amount of stock, promotions such as multi-buys are irresponsible.
