Organic meat brand Laverstoke Park Farm offered the biggest average saving. However, Gü, owned by Noble Foods and Unilever-owned Ben & Jerry’s had a greater percentage of their SKUs on promotion.
The average saving per promotion was lower at five of the six retailers monitored. Morrisons’ average saving of GBP0.45 was the same as in June.
The proportion of SKUs on promotion at Morrisons increased, although Sainsbury’s saw the largest jump in lines on offer. In July, 40.9% of its SKUs were on promotion; in June, Sainsbury’s had 34.9% on offer.
The percentage of lines on promotion at the four other retailers measured by the Tracker fell.
