CUSTOMERS WHO VISIT THE SUPERMARKET CHAIN AT A CERTAIN TIME OF DAY MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCOUNT ON A RANGE OF PRODUCTS. CHARLOTTE SMITH Senior Lifestyle Content Editor and LOIS MCCARTHY


07:22, 30 May 2025 Tesco shoppers keep a look out; the supermarket giant has announced a change to its pricing strategy for certain items, with discounts being applied after 7pm. Tesco is


slashing the price of various baked goods in stores across the UK as part of an effort to "prevent good food from going to waste". When heading down the bakery section, customers


might notice signs under products stating: "From 7pm, our loose bakery products are reduced by 50%". This initiative has been noticed by eagle-eyed shoppers and shared on platforms


such as the popular Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. A recent post informed the group's 64k followers: "Spotted this in my local Tesco Express - not sure if all


stores, but maybe useful to someone." The post included a picture of some croissants and chocolate twists on a shelf with the '7pm' label next to them, which also notes:


"Excludes bread and gingerbread". With the cost of living crisis putting pressure on household budgets throughout the UK, the half-price offer is likely to be a hit with consumers.


Following the post, one wrote: "Good if you have a Tesco within walking distance!" Another added: "Used to be 5pm but they changed it to 7pm to fit in line with reductions on


fridge and other bakery items.", reports Yorkshire Live. Upon contacting Tesco, a spokesperson said: "Markdowns on fresh products continue to be popular and help to prevent good


food from going to waste." They added: "If we can't sell food, we redistribute it to charities and community groups, and offer it to colleagues for free." The


spokesperson went on to say that participating stores have implemented reductions on bakery products daily to combat food waste, noting: "Whilst this is generally at around 7pm, timings


can vary by store." In Tesco's bakery section, shoppers can find a variety of freshly-baked goods made available the same day. For a sweet treat, the store's all butter


croissants are offered in plain, chocolate, and almond flavours at £1.20 each. However, with the 50% discount, from 7pm shoppers can bag one for 60p. This follow's Tesco's running
