Following the news, the supermarket has shared recipe inspiration to help more people enjoy mealtimes, including recipes for some of the nation’s favourite meals.

Brits are also becoming increasingly savvy with their food shops and are looking for offers and deals on ingredients more often (60%), according to the study.

More of us are batch cooking to make ingredients go further so nothing goes to waste (32%), and 51% are making use of supermarket loyalty cards like Clubcard.

That being said, Tesco found that only 28% are looking for price-matched products already, which can be a helpful way to save shoppers a trip by price matching against comparable products at other retailers - so there’s no need to go elsewhere.

The supermarket has price-matched over 500 of its products, to give great value prices on quality food including family favourites and own-brand staples.

Shoppers can also find inspirational recipes, that include at least one Aldi Price Match product, available on the Tesco Real Food website, with meals starting at just 64p per head.
