Andy Atkinson, customer and marketing director ar Morrisons, said:
“Meat is one of the priciest items in families’ shopping baskets and as kids go back to school the cost of packed lunches is an added cost.
“We’re a British company, making our own ham and buying our own cattle here in Britain. By doing this efficiently ourselves we can pass much-needed savings on to customers.”
Just last month Morrisons cut the price on over 1,000 of its products including toiletries and seasonal fruit and vegetables by an average of 18%.
Morrisons says it has cut prices on 4,435 products so far to take on rivals Aldi and Lidl. Sainsbury’s and Tesco have also cut prices on basics as they try to lessen the losses caused by the German chains.
It’s good news amid concerns that a weaker pound will boost food prices by making imports more expensive.
Retailers believe that food price inflation isn’t likely to materialise until autumn when the supply of UK-grown fresh produce reduces and we have to buy more food from abroad.

That's all very well but their fruit and veg only has a life of about 1-2 days before it gores mouldy!! so reducing the price is only fair. I never buy meat from there as I'm not convinced of it's freshness or quality. This is the Burton on Trent branch The fruit and veg is just tossed onto the shelves hence the bruising and when I complained to a Manager was met with a lot of cheek, and said if I wanted it differently I should go to Waitrose!!!
