Morrisons is cutting the price of 64 of its own-brand products to help shoppers during the cost of living crisis.
The supermarket says it has invested £25million to reduce prices by an average of 19%.
Items that have been cut in price include toilet roll, vegetables and cupboard essentials like coffee and rice.
Morrisons has invested £148million in lowering its prices over the last six months, at a time when families are feeling the squeeze in the supermarkets.
It comes after the supermarket reduced the price of 1,000 products last month and gave customers 5p off fuel offers in both January and February.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation - which means how the price of goods and services change over time - is now at 10.1%, with the cost of food being a driving factor.
Latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows grocery prices are up 16.7%.
David Potts, Chief Executive, said: "We are just seven weeks into 2023 and already this is our fifth significant price activity of the year.
"These latest price cuts follow hard on the heels of two notable in store price cuts involving well over 1,000 products, and two strong fuel promotions, demonstrating our determination and commitment to make a positive difference to our customers’ pockets."
