Which? responds to the news that Morrisons will start stocking budget ranges in 500 of its convenience stores

Sue Davies, Which? Head of Food Policy, said:

"Which? has been campaigning for supermarkets to stock budget ranges in small stores as we know this could make a big difference to people who have to rely on them and who are struggling to put food on the table.

"Morrisons deserves praise as the first big supermarket to show there is no barrier to putting budget ranges on the shelves of all stores for the same price. We look forward to seeing the full range that Morrisons will be offering that should ensure households on tight budgets can cook a range of healthy meals.

"Other supermarkets should follow this example by stocking a range of budget lines that support a healthy diet across branches, including smaller convenience stores - with a particular focus on areas where people are really struggling with the cost of living. All supermarkets should also make pricing more transparent - including on promotions and loyalty card offers - so shoppers can easily find the best value products."
