Sainsbury's cuts cost of own-brand toilet paper across UK stores

Sainsbury's has cut the cost of its own brand toilet roll. The price of its two-pack Super Soft White Toilet Tissue Double Rolls and the four-pack version have been reduced.

The two-pack price has been cut by 21p, from £1.90 to £1.69. Meanwhile, the four-pack has been reduced by 33p, from £3.25 to £2.92.

The supermarket said it has reduced prices due to the cost of pulp falling for the first time in two years. Both products have been added to the Aldi Price Match campaign.

Rhian Bartlett, food commercial director at Sainsbury’s, said: “The rate of grocery price inflation remains at a record high, which is why we are continuing to lower prices wherever we can on the food and household products our customers buy most often.

“After more than two years of inflation on the price of pulp, we are now seeing a decline which is enabling us to pass savings directly on to our customers and reduce the price of our own brand toilet roll. From today, our by Sainsbury’s Super Soft double toilet rolls have been added to our popular Aldi Price Match campaign for the first time, and customers will now be able to save as much as 11% on these items.

"In addition to food, we’re focused on battling inflation on high-volume household products that we know customers buy day in day out. For example, following the addition of own brand nappies to the Price Match campaign in January, sales have increased by 20%.

“We are committed to offering our customers the best possible value so they know that they are getting a great deal on their everyday staples when shopping with us.”
