Amazon Fresh goes head-to-head with Tesco as it launches grocery price promise

Amazon’s grocery arm is to take on Tesco with a new price match promise. The retail giant is promising to keep prices low for customers amid the cost-of-living crisis.

Amazon Fresh will start its Tesco Clubcard Price Match campaign on Monday. The initiative will match and freeze hundreds of prices in line with discounts by the supermarket giant.

The move will see the online grocery business invest in the price of everyday groceries including fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. Russell Jones, director of Amazon Fresh, told the PA news agency he hopes the pricing campaign will “show how good our value is compared with competitors”.

The retail boss said: “When customers see the comparison against our competitors it is obvious quite how strong our value is. We recognise that this is the most important thing to customers right now.”

Amazon is the latest retailer to use a price match campaign in its marketing efforts to drive customer numbers. Tesco and Sainsbury’s are currently operating promotions matching the prices of key items against those of German discount rival Aldi.

Mr Jones added: “This is one way that we’re helping customers get great value and convenience with groceries delivered at home with Amazon Fresh. Improving our shopping experience and giving Amazon Fresh customers even more for their money are key priorities for us.”

Amazon said the promotion will see reductions such as 32% off Tropicana orange juice, 46% off own-brand margherita pizzas and 19% off Cathedral City extra mature cheddar. It comes amid a continued expansion of the Amazon Fresh grocery operation, which is now available in London, Leeds, Sheffield, Portsmouth, Liverpool, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle.
