In the aftermath of the holiday season, Tesco has introduced significant discounts on select products to clear festive stock. Notably, the 360g Bounty Gift Box, originally priced at £7, is now available for £3.50. Similarly, the Baileys chocolates, typically £2.50, are being sold for just 45p. These in-store deals are part of Tesco’s strategy to manage post-Christmas inventory.
In addition to product discounts, Tesco is implementing operational changes to enhance customer experience. The supermarket is replacing traditional barcodes on products with QR codes, aiming to provide consumers with detailed information such as ingredients and sustainability data via smartphones. This initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce single-use plastics and food waste, as well as to improve inventory management.
Regarding store operations, Tesco has announced its opening hours for the New Year period. While many stores had previously closed on Christmas Day and reopened for Boxing Day sales, some have modified their schedules or plan to close early. Shoppers are advised to check local store hours to plan their visits accordingly.
These developments reflect Tesco’s ongoing efforts to adapt to consumer needs and market dynamics in the post-holiday season.
