03.01.25 UK Supermarket Wars: The Biggest Deals of January 2025

This podcast episode covers deals being offered at UK supermarkets in January 2025, likely in response to post-holiday budgeting and the cost of living crisis. The episode discusses the following: ● Iceland: is having its "biggest-ever deals event," with over 1,000 products for £1 or less. There are also deals like 10 products for £10, buy 2 get 1 free, and half-price offers. ● Aldi: is launching new 0% cocktail cans for 79p each. They are also bringing back other non-alcoholic drinks, including beers, sparkling wines, and ciders, most of which are under £10. ● Morrisons: has expanded its price-matching scheme to cover over 500 products, matching prices to Aldi and Lidl to help shoppers save money. The deals include items like coffee, olive oil, pasta sauce, and bananas. ● Asda: has slashed prices on over 2,500 household essentials, by an average of 26%, in a "Big Jan Price Drop". ● Poundland: is selling a variety of Elizabeth Arden beauty products at significantly reduced prices. These include the Vitamin C Radiance Renewal Serum, usually £49, now £20; the Visible Difference Cream, usually £45, now £15; and a variety of perfumes. ● Primark: has released a new line of activewear that shoppers have described as feeling "buttery soft" and comparable in quality to Lululemon. Tracksuit bottoms, sports bras, and hats are part of the collection. ● Marks & Spencer: Their sale continues, with remaining items including a merino wool knitted vest, a faux-fur jacket from Sienna Miller's collection, a Bella Freud mohair cricket jumper, a wool blazer, and biker boots.
