Aldi's Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin has gained quite a reputation for its exceptional quality and unbeatable price. This award-winning gin offers a classic juniper-forward profile with citrus undertones, making it a versatile option for cocktails or a refreshing G&T.

Morrisons gives you another reason to shop at Morrisons. 75p pumpkins!

Morrisons is making its most popular medium pumpkins available for just 75p this year, helping families to stock up on the spooky season staple for less. 

The lower price of 75p is available for all More Card customers while these standard carving pumpkins are still only 99p for those without a More Card. The move comes as Brits are set to spend a whopping £777 million on Halloween in 2023 – leaving parents’ pockets feeling petrified.

To take the stress out of paying for Halloween, Morrisons is helping families by offering the market’s cheapest price for a medium sized pumpkin this year; it is part of the wider frighteningly fantastic pumpkin range at Morrisons which includes munchkin pumpkins (59p), ghost pumpkins (£2.99), large pumpkins (£1.99) and even giant pumpkins (£8.99).

Morrisons has also introduced QR code stickers on all pumpkin displays in stores this year, which take customers to information on how to get the most out of their pumpkins and avoid them simply going to waste. Tips include: saving the pumpkins seeds for planting in the spring with cleaned pumpkin skins - an ideal household compost.

Chris Smith, Fruit Buying Manager at Morrisons, commented: “Any seasonal moment can be a cause for celebration but with budgets also top of mind this year we hope that by offering these cut-price options parents and little shoppers don’t have to compromise on carving the perfect centrepiece this Halloween.”

Free garlic bread when you buy the latest Peter Kay book at Morrisons

Morrisons is helping its customers celebrate the release of Peter Kay’s, ‘TV: Big Adventures on the Small Screen’ by offering a free serving of garlic bread with every new book sold. 

Kay, who famously claimed that garlic bread ‘is the future’, is releasing a new book detailing his incredible journey through television to create some of the most popular comedy shows of the last two decades, like Phoenix Nights and Carshare.

The new book is available in Morrisons stores all over the country for £12 and customers will be able to bag themselves a free garlic bread from 28 September to 1 October to celebrate the new launch.

Whether it’s seeing a pack of Hobnobs in the biscuit aisle that reminds customers of Peter Kay or a loaf of garlic bread, it will be impossible to avoid the charm of the Bolton-based joker in Morrisons as he will also be lending his voice to Tannoy announcements in stores up-and-down the country to mark his latest release. (EDITOR: Oh, I'll look forward to listening out for those, the next time I'm in Morrisons, flashing my smile and my Morrisons More Card!)

Lee Newman, Media and Paper Shop Buying Manager at Morrisons, said: "Peter Kay is a national treasure with jokes that make people laugh from Bolton all the way to Amarillo. Hundreds of people will be rushing to grab a copy of his new book, and we know the main man himself would approve of the gift we're offering to our customers alongside it. It’s the future!”

To find your nearest Morrisons store, please visit: https://my.morrisons.com/storefinder

Incidentally, I think this will be a "must buy" Christmas stocking filler of a book. Just eat the garlic before you wrap the book up!

Good news, Brentford! Morrisons opens new store on Brentford High Street

Today, Thursday 28th September, Morrisons is relocating and opening a new supermarket on Brentford High Street as part of the town’s important ongoing regeneration project.

The Brentford Project, Ballymore’s new 1.2 million sq ft residential-led development in West London, aims to transform the southern half of the town’s High Street, reconnecting it to the waterfront and bringing a mix of dining, entertainment, shopping and leisure amenities, along with 876 new homes.

Besides offering customers a carefully tailored mix of Morrisons own brand products alongside branded favourites, the relocated Morrisons store will introduce a new Market Kitchen proposition where freshly made meals are created by a team of in-store chefs. (EDITOR: Wow! We want one of those!) 

This means customers in Brentford can have their breakfast, lunch or evening meal freshly made-to-order using seasonal ingredients. Customers can then choose to eat the meals in or pick up their food to go. The menu includes a choice of select wraps, including breakfast options, a selection of tasty pies, jacket potatoes, toasties, rice bowls, pizza and burgers. 

The store will also feature Morrisons much loved Market Street option with colleagues available to offer advice on Morrisons meat and fish range. Other key features in the store include:

Morrisons Nutmeg baby range

A pharmacy

Morrisons: The Best range which offers a little bit of luxury at great prices

A home range of cookware and soft furnishings

A wide selection of Free From products.

Said Daniel Daly, who is Morrisons Brentford Store Manager: “Brentford is currently undergoing a huge regeneration project by Ballymore and we know residents in the area have been eagerly anticipating the opening of our store at the very heart of the town.

“Today, they've got a brand-new Morrisons store, with skilled food making at the very heart of it and plenty of useful services, too. We hope customers will love this new store as much as they did the previous store and we look forward to welcoming them here/”

Richard Pearce, Senior Development Manager at Ballymore, added: “We're obviously pleased and delighted to welcome Morrisons revamped store to The Brentford Project, a new neighbourhood shopping and leisure destination. 

"The diverse range of stores from well-established household names to new creative enterprises, sits well alongside the newly relocated Morrisons and the addition of the new Market Kitchen as part of this concept. 

"Our overarching aim for the Brentford Project development is to re-connect the convenience retail-led High Street with the vibrant leisure-led waterfront including cafes, restaurants, coffee shops and cinema. Whilst The Lanes, the third area within the project, links these areas and showcases a broad range of small boutique, independent and emerging entrepreneurs, and local retailers, too.

“This Morrisons launch represents a very important next step for Ballymore and its journey, realising the community-focused long-term vision and most importantly, responding to strong desire for this much-loved brand to remain in Brentford; serving the every-day needs of residents and locals.”

The store was due to be formally opened by the Brentford FC Mascot Buzz. Prior to the opening, local dignitaries visited the store to meet the store manager and his team.

Are You Taking the Phizz?

Phizz are taking on Berocca as the UK's fastest growing effervescent brand; the young, science-led team works with a PhD neuroscientist to develop innovative all-in-one health supplements, formulated to support daily wellbeing, exercise, travel, and nights out. This month, September, sees the rollout of Phizz's first Out of Home Campaign, which will run until the 24th of this month.

What is the objective of the campaign? It's simply to drive brand awareness across London and to support the launch of Phizz Caffeine Boost in Tesco Express. Bringing the brand to life across a variety of touchpoints and platforms to maximise brand awareness, impact and campaign longevity.

With an expected reach in excess of 7 million, taking advantage of the return to office working and September's back to school season, the campaign includes advertising across three high impact mega screens including Canary Wharf, Westfield Shepherds Bush and Westfield Stratford; advertising across 50 food delivery bikes in Zone 1, Central London; 32 further mega screens will run for the full two weeks across zones 1 and 2.

Phizz have also created 500 magnetic clings, pavement stencils and sampling bins, the team will be distributing sample product across London for the next couple of weeks. Lastly, Phizz has partnered with Gymfluencers to create 100 bespoke Phizz Caffeine fitness influencer boxes, to enhance social media awareness in tandem with the campaign.

Phizz Founder Dan Cray says, "In 2023, Phizz has soared to third place within the effervescent category, and with our recent debut in Tesco Express, we decided the time was ripe to take our visibility to even new heights.  

"With distribution now spanning over 4,500 national locations, we're embarking on an ambitious journey. Expect impactful ATL campaigns and exciting activations with renowned brands like Gymshark. This marks just the beginning of our significant growth.

"Our launch to Tesco Express is our first time in this convenience store format. The launch has been driven from the strong rate of sale nationwide in superstores. Tesco now sees a strong fit for Phizz to support non-stop city lifestyles.”

Phizz are also launching Orange, Mixed Berry, Apple & Blackcurrant Effervescent tabs to Morrisons. The brand will launch with a £6 promo running until 17th October, before retailing at £8.00 per tube of 20 tablets. 

Founder Dan Cray went on to say: “Morrison's decision to include Phizz in their range reinforces our position as the fastest-growing brand in the category. We're obviously pleased and utterly thrilled to introduce our unparalleled benefits in an array of delicious flavours, aiming to elevate lives across the nation.”

Here are some details about the range:-

The new Cherry Caffeine Boost, a triple-action energy boosting effervescent, aims to combat the major cause of fatigue: dehydration. Available now from Amazon and Tesco. The ground-breaking formula, a global first, aims to optimise natural energy levels, combat fatigue and drowsiness, and deliver a daily dose of invigorating wellness. 

We wake up every day with two basic health goals, to eat a well-rounded diet that achieves all our nutritional requirements and to drink enough water; busy modern lifestyles, travel and high-performance sport all get in the way of achieving these goals, and without optimal nutrients and hydration, you're not your best self. 94% of the UK is dehydrated, on average, consumers drink just 850ml of water per day – less than half of the recommended daily intake. A 2% drop in hydration leads to mental and physical fatigue.

With 75mg of caffeine, equivalent to a cup of coffee, and fortified with natural guarana, it heightens alertness and invigorates the mind and body. By adding Guarana to their tried-and-true formula, Phizz harnesses the Amazonian berry's energy boosting properties that can help to increase attention and alertness; it has more caffeine per berry than any other plant (even coffee beans) and it's also packed full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Guarana gives a slower releasing and longer lasting caffeine effect than caffeine from tea and coffee, providing a smoother energy release. 

Further enhanced by a potent blend of essential B-vitamins, it unlocks the body's natural energy resource by helping convert food into energy. The low calorie (10kcal) tablet's energy proposition is complemented by a range of 17 essential nutrients for optimal health. Phizz Caffeine Boost can be incorporated into your daily routine, before a sports game or gym session, as a replacement for your morning coffee or energy drink, as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or when feeling jetlagged after a flight, making Phizz your new best friend.

“At Phizz, we provide comprehensive solutions with unmatched science to beat any other single product in the market. This product has a fresh perspective on the energy category while ensuring optimal hydration and health. And at only 40p per drink, we offer solid science at great value,” explains Daniel Cray, CEO and founder of Phizz. 

The London-based start-up creates everyday life armour with their trio of 3-in-1effervescent tablets that combine a hydration formula, electrolytes, and a comprehensive multivitamin. The young, science-led team works with a PhD neuroscientist to develop innovative all-in-one health supplements that are formulated to support daily wellbeing, exercise, travel, and nights out. Unlike other effervescent brands, Phizz is both a multivitamin and a rehydration remedy, helping you thrive every day across three main lifestyle pillars:

Hydration

Dehydration and vitamin deficiencies are two common, daily challenges that can negatively affect our physical and mental performance. Just 1-2% dehydration can lead to fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps and concentration loss. (EDITOR: It certainly does! And it's very, very painful!)

Electrolyte Replenishment 

Phizz contains a range of key electrolytes to support heart, brain, nerve, and immune system function. These include four of the main electrolytes lost through sweat which helps prevent cramping and muscle fatigue.

High Dose Multivitamin 

Phizz offers eighteen essential vitamins and minerals for natural energy, reduction in fatigue, normal functioning of the immune system, mental performance, and antioxidants to prevent cellular damage.

We wake up every day with two basic health goals, to eat a well-rounded diet that achieves all our nutritional requirements and to drink enough water; busy modern lifestyles, travel and high-performance sport all get in the way of achieving these goals, and without optimal nutrients and hydration, you're not your best self. Phizz 3-in-1 is a small but mighty tablet (available in Orange, Apple & Blackcurrant and Mixed Berry), that helps you get one step ahead of your immune, energy, focus and hydration goals. 

Phizz's science-backed formula helps you hydrate three times faster (compared with drinking water alone), delivers natural energy, and supports your immune system. Just dissolve one tablet in a glass or bottle of water (best served chilled!).

Phizz is perfectly balanced with 18 quality and high-dose vitamins and minerals designed to boost your natural energy (thanks to a B-12 and B-6 vitamin hit, 375% of your daily dose of immune-boosting vitamin C (the equivalent of three oranges) and electrolytes, often lost through sweat. Phizz also packs a self-care punch with zinc (more than in three cups of spinach), potassium (more than in one banana) as well as other powerful antioxidants . 

Phizz is ideal as part of your everyday routine. It's diverse range of uses also support more targeted needs, including combating tiredness and fatigue, supporting an active lifestyle – such as marathon training – rapid rehydration after a big night, beating jetlag and supporting your body in hot climates.

Dehydration can have significant effects on physical performance, particularly during endurance events where large volumes of water can be lost through sweat. Phizz helps the body hydrate faster while also replacing key electrolytes to support muscle function. Drinking Phizz during, or prior to, exercise can therefore reduce fatigue, cramps, and thirst, while increasing energy and stamina. But don't just take our word for it! Phizz is rigorously vetted by medical departments and players and is chosen as their preferred hydration solution due to the superior formula. Damian Roden (High-Performance Consultant and former Premier League Head of Performance) says, “Phizz gives players a head start on the competition with the vitamins and electrolytes our players need to perform at their peak.” Phizz has supplied over 50 professional sports teams across rugby, football and cricket including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Saracens. Notable fans also include Olympic Champion Peter Reed OBE, TV personality Vicky Pattison and television presenter Andi Peters. 

Although a premium option, with quality at its core, Phizz offers value against a typical energy drink at just 40p per serving. Your plastic usage is also cut down to one recyclable tube, compared with 20 one-time-use drinks containers, helping you to minimise your impact and maximise your health. Phizz has partnered with Plastic Bank, for each Phizz product purchased 1.3x its weight in plastic waste is collected, recycled and prevented from entering our oceans; collectors are paid a premium, empowering local communities across some of the world's most vulnerable coastal environments. Phizz is proud to be leading the way as the only plastic-positive effervescent tablet in the category. 

Using the power of science, Phizz make all-in-one health supplements that help you thrive every day; find Phizz at Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Amazon, or buy direct from www.phizz.co.

Morrisons launches new support package for British farmers to cover rising costs of growing crops

What with rising energy prices, increased fertiliser costs and other price rises, our farmers have certainly being feeling the pinch lately. 

As a result, Morrisons has taken the decision to launch a new support package for British farmers to cover the costs of growing crops.

In fact, Morrisons has become the first UK supermarket to launch a support package that underwrites 100% of the costs associated with growing crops.

The retailer, which has over 1,200 branches throughout England, Scotland and Wales, has invested £2 million in a year-long trial and potato and carrot farmers are the first to benefit under the scheme.

The trial will help British farmers mitigate the cost and weather pressures coming from the peaks and troughs of the seasons, including field rent and fertiliser costs and gives farmers greater financial security with Morrisons shouldering all the risks.

Crops are currently being grown on three potato farms and one carrot farm with the first produce from these farms due to hit the shelves before year's end and into 2024. If successful, Morrisons hopes to roll out this scheme to more farms later next year. 

Morrisons already supports farmers by buying whole crops and picking out any fruit or veg that's perfectly fine to eat but has a quirky shape or a surprising size for its Naturally Wonky range.

Launched back in 2015, Morrisons Naturally Wonky fruit and veg helps reduce food waste in the field and offers affordable produce to its customers. It also provides farmers an alternative route to market. The range includes 24 wonky varieties, and 27,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables were sold this way last year alone.

Gareth Cosford, who is Morrisons' Senior Buying Manager for Root Vegetables said: “As British farming’s biggest direct customer we understand the impact higher costs are continuing to have on Britain's farmers. As a result, our trial scheme allows us to take all the risks that are associated with growing the crop away from our farmers and continue to grow the best quality British produce our customers know, love and have come to expect.” 

Participating farms so far include Naish Farms Ltd. which grow potatoes for Morrisons.

Andrew Nash, who is a Director at Naish Farms Ltd. said: “Morrisons already buy our whole crop of potatoes from us, taking the top-quality and also the misshapen or the oversized ones and making them available to customers as part of their naturally wonky range. This not only maximises our return, it also offers the best value to their customers.

“In farming there are ups and downs throughout the seasons. For us we are seeing greater weather challenges which could impact our crops and by being part of this new Morrisons trial, they’re underwriting our growing costs to cushion us from the associated risks and provide supply security so  we can focus on growing the very best potatoes for their customers.”

Interestingly, Morrisons is British farming’s biggest direct supermarket customer and works directly with over 2,700 farmers and growers all year round to ensure customers can purchase products of the highest quality. 

This week Morrisons is continuing to support the industry by sponsoring Farm 24, farming's biggest event which highlights the pride of the nation’s food producers. For more information, please visit: https://www.morrisons-farming.com/backing-british/farm24

Some shoppers believe that the Morisons Naturally Wonky fruits and vegetables actually taste better, as they remind them of the "real" fruit and vegetables their parents and grandparents used to be able to buy before the authorities decided that all fruits and vegetables should have uniform size, weight and appearance.

What do you think? Wonky or not?

Green first for Morrisons as it becomes first UK supermarket to introduce coffee pod recycling points

There's some exciting news for ecologically-minded shoppers as Morrisons is becoming the first UK supermarket to introduce coffee pod recycling points at its stores.

The return bins from coffee pod recycling scheme ‘Podback’ is launching in 29 stores this month. 

Used aluminium and plastic pods will be turned into new products including drinks cans, plastic crates and garden furniture.

The move which is being trialled in 29 stores is in partnership with Podback, the specialist pod recycling service. 

In an effort to make coffee pod recycling even easier and more convenient, Morrisons is trialling a new drop-off service which allows customers to collect their Podback recycling bags, fill them up with their used pods, and recycle in a dedicated bin which will be sited at the front of the store.

Last year, Morrisons announced it was the first supermarket to support Podback and remains the only one to provide free coffee pod recycling bags for its customers to collect in all of its stores. The recycling bags can be filled at home and be taken to one of 6,500 Yodel drop off points around the UK with all postage covered by Podback. 

Over the last year, it's estimated 800 million coffee pods were bought in the UK, making it even more important than ever for customers to have an easier route to recycle their pods.  

Morrisons is also set to become a dedicated Podback member, meaning Morrisons own-brand pods can all be recycled through the scheme, besides 24 other pod brands across the coffee sector. 

Customers need to use correctly colour coded bags, there's one for aluminium pods and one for plastic pods. This is because pods are separated and sent to different recycling processing plants in the UK.

Through Podback, used aluminium pods are turned back into aluminium ingots for new products, like beverage cans, and the used plastic coffee pods are turned into other plastic items,  including building products and plastic crates. And there's more! The used coffee grounds go through a special anaerobic digestion process, which makes useful biogas and soil improver.

Natasha Cook, who is the Sustainable Packaging and Plastics Manager at Morrisons, said: “We’re excited to be launching this trial with Podback as we look to make it even easier for our customers who want to brew fresh coffee at home to recycle their used coffee pods. Now they can grab a Podback bag, fill it at home and just drop it off on their next store trip.”  

Rick Hindley, the Executive Director at Podback, said: “Morrisons was the first supermarket to become a supporter of Podback and we’re thrilled that they’re now set to become a member; enabling their own brand pods to be recycled through the service and working with us to further improve access to coffee pod recycling by trialling a new drop-off system. 

"This is another exciting step forward towards providing consumers with easy and convenient ways to recycle their used coffee pods. We also welcome and encourage other retailers to join Podback and make it even easier for consumers to recycle pods in the future.”

Morrisons stores across the UK currently offer soft plastic, battery and inkjet recycling facilities. Since 2017 Morrisons has reduced its own brand plastic packaging in its 499 stores by over 10,000 tonnes a year.

Morrisons to help fund fishing apprenticeships with £100k funding

The Morrisons supermarket is transferring an Apprenticeship Levy fund of over £100,000 to Supplytrain to help train ten new sea fishers for the South Western Fish Producer Organisation (SWFPO).

The £100k will support the first fisher apprenticeship programme in England. The 18 month apprenticeship allows students to get vital hands-on experience and learn more about the whole fishing operation from sea to sale. 

As an apprentice, students will be employed by Supplytrain, but will be able to work across different boats within the SWFPO membership, catching different types of fish and learning from experienced crew members whilst they are also studying seamanship, gear construction and how to care for the catch at South Devon College. 

The life of a commercial fisher is obviously very physically demanding but immensely rewarding, providing the skills and opportunities to become an experienced deckhand, skipper, marine engineer or even a future vessel owner, too.

The Government Apprenticeship Levy is paid by employers to help fund apprenticeship programmes and Morrisons has agreed to transfer £100,000 of its funds to pay for the SWFPO’s first cohort of ten apprentices. The deadline for applications is 31st July and the first cohort will begin their programme this September. 

Morrisons has supported craft apprenticeships in its stores including Fishmongers, Butchers and Bakery roles. Over 2,500 colleagues in-store have completed the programme to date with a further 200 apprentices planned to enrol in September. 

Sophie Jenkinson, who is Morrisons' Sustainable Sourcing and Fisheries Manager said: “The fishing industry is a vital and integral part of Morrisons and that's why we’re pleased to be supporting and backing Supplytrain and SWFPO by transferring some of our Apprenticeship Levy to help recruit and train the sector.”

Juliette Hatchman, SWFPO's CEO said: “Recruitment is a real issue across the entire fishing industry now, with an ageing demographic and a shortage of skilled crew. A lack of skilled crew has a significant impact on the entire seafood supply chain. 

"The catching sector is the start of the supply chain, so without boats going to sea, there is no supply chain. SWFPO members are not alone in facing challenges with attracting the right personnel. This apprenticeship is a great way to grow new talent within our industry by developing a motivated, skilled and qualified resource that the whole industry will ultimately benefit from.

"Not only does it improve the attractiveness of the sector as a professional and valuable career pathway, but improves safety within the sector, all of which make it a much needed and extremely worthwhile investment.”

Phil Golding, MD at Supplytrain said: “It’s fantastic to have Morrisons as a partner supporting the first ever Fisher Apprenticeship in the country. As a flexi-job apprenticeship agency, we’re obviously really excited to be able to employ and support fresh talent to start a career in this rewarding industry, and hope this is the first of many cohorts in the years ahead.”

In 2021 Morrisons acquired Falfish, a sustainably sourced seafood wholesaler which is based in Cornwall. To date, Falfish supply the majority of Morrisons fish and shellfish that's then freshly prepared by Morrisons fishmongers who are based in-store.

Bags better for everyone! Tesco and Morrisons welcome the Universal Bag

Marking a massive milestone in the global rollout of the Universal Bag project, Tesco and Morrisons are the next two UK partners.

Designed by Anya Hindmarch and manufactured by the Solent Group, The Universal Bag is reportedly the next generation of reusable bag; a desirable, durable, reusable, 100% recycled and recyclable shopping bag that's designed for everyone, to take everywhere, for just about everything or anything.

Working in collaboration with major global food retailers, the Universal Bag has the laudable aim of driving meaningful change across the entire industry. 

While use of single use plastic has reduced dramatically, with sales falling in the main supermarkets by 95% between 2021 to 2022, says lates official figures, the problem is far from solved. Nearly half a billion single use plastic bags were still sold between 2021 to 2022 and the ‘bag for life’ isn't th environmental solution we'd all hoped it would be.

However, since launching The Universal Bag project collaboratively over 150 tonnes of virgin plastic has been saved from landfill, the equivalent of over 12 London double decker buses.

The Tesco version, available from the end of July in 250 stores nationwide, will be available in their core brand colours of blue with red handles, while the Morrisons version, available from mid-September in 400 stores all over the country, will be in their core brand colours of yellow with green handles.

These versions of the Universal Bag are the seventh and eighth editions respectively and add to the growing global line up, following Asda, Co-op, Sainsburys, Selfridges Food Hall and Waitrose in the UK, City’SUPER in Hong Kong and National Azabu in Japan. More global partners will be announced later on this year.

Incidentally, Morrisons was the first UK supermarket to introduce paper ‘bags for life’ instead of plastic and has also committed to using 50% less plastic packaging in its own-brand products by 2025.

Working together with retailers with such impact, scale and ambition gives the opportunity to make meaningful changes and inspire long lasting shifts in consumer habits.

Both the Tesco and Morrisons versions will retail at £10 each.

The project, open to all food retailers worldwide, allows each partner to create their own exclusive version of the Universal Bag in keeping with their own brand requirements.

The Universal Bag is made from 100% recycled plastic and each step and material used in making the bag has been fully certified under the Global Recycling Scheme (GRS) making this a truly 100% recycled product.

Each Universal Bag is guaranteed to last for ten years having been extensively tested for durability.

The Universal Bag features an innovative, convenient freepost returns pocket built into a pocket inside the bag. You simply turn the bag into its built-in pocket which acts as a pre-addressed envelope and then post it through a letter box. It's then 100% recycled locally.

In addition to being practical the Universal Bag is designed to be durable, too. By creating a bag  customers feel excited to be seen with and are motivated to take care of, reuse is expected to increase, tackling one of the major issues surrounding shopping bags.

Anya Hindmarch, Founder and Creative Director, comments: “The Universal Bag project has saved over 150 tonnes of virgin plastic from landfill so far, the equivalent weight of over 12 London double decker buses. Plastic pollution remains a pressing environmental issue but working together with major global food retailers shows how the solution needs to collaborative.”

Rachel Eyre, Chief Customer and Marketing Officer, Morrisons, adds: “We’re really thrilled to partner with Anya Hindmarch on the Universal Bag project and support such an important, vital issue. We are committed to reducing our plastic use and we were the first supermarket to introduce paper ‘bags for life’. It’s an issue our customers and colleagues are extremely passionate about so we're very excited to see the Morrisons x Anya Hindmarch tote land in our stores and we will be proud to spot it out and about, too!”

Ashley Simons, the Solent CEO, opined: “Both Anya and Solent have a shared heritage in creating and producing market disrupting initiatives that help customers to lead healthier, more sustainable lives. We are delighted to have partnered with Anya and her team on the Universal Bag which further supports the reduction and need for single use plastics. The Universal Bag is a beautiful and high performing product that encourages customers to buy into reusability and sustainability.

"It’s not a bag you’d ever feel comfortable throwing in the bin. Given the durability of the bag, ideally, it will never need to be recycled but, if it does, we have made it easy for the customer to get it back into the recycling stream, a process we believe has never been done before. The Universal Bag is a true market first and another step change in our mission to end single use plastic bag usage for one and for all.”

Looks like it'll be a great way to take your food and drink shopping back home with you, or to take your picnic to the beach and then back home again!

Good news for fans of Morrisons' Savers range. They're to be stocked in its convenience stores

From today, Morrisons is to introducing a range of entry level products into its convenience stores across the UK. And it's thought this is a first in Britain. 

The Savers products will be available in over 500 Morrisons Daily stores and will be exactly the same prices as in Morrisons supermarkets. 

The roll-out commences with 10 products including washing up liquid, toilet rolls and sausages followed by a further 30 products over the coming weeks. The extra  items will include key essentials like eggs, ham, juice, butter, cheese and mince meat.

Morrisons is also reducing the prices of 18 high-volume products in its Morrisons Daily stores from today including both 2 and 4 pint milk, bread and tomatoes. 

Morrisons acquired the McColl’s convenience business from administration in May 2022 and has so far converted some 500 into Morrisons Daily stores.  On conversion, the instore prices have been reduced by about 12% as the stores adopt the entire Morrisons convenience range.   

David Potts, who is the Morrisons CEO, said: “Inflation is stubbornly high and the cost of living shows no signs of reducing. Speaking plainly, the reason convenience stores don’t stock entry price point products is because they make very little, if any, money and don't fit with the significantly higher cost structure of convenience stores.  But customers, especially those who live in areas without easy access to supermarkets, have told us how much they'd appreciate it during these difficult times, so we're doing it.”

He went on to say: “Our Savers range is incredibly popular in our supermarkets and offers outstanding value and good quality. Recent research shows Savers is the UK’s fastest growing value range and we are proud to be the first major UK supermarket to introduce some key products from the range into convenience stores all over the country.     

“The 500 stores that will stock the range are mostly wholly-owned Morrisons stores but a number of franchise partners have kindly agreed to stock Savers products.  I want to thank those partners for agreeing to this move and to acknowledge they're doing so because they want to play their full part in helping people through this current cost of living crisis.” 

Morrisons has recently relaunched its Savers range and added 56 new lines and redesigned its packaging to help customers enjoy good quality foods at affordable prices. A total of 217 products are now included in the Morrisons Savers range including everything from cupboard essentials like bread and rice to freezer fillers likes chicken fillets and mince.

Price cuts in Morrisons

In line with a number of other supermarket chains, Morrisons has announced cuts in the prices of nearly 50 food items, with an average price cut by over 25% 

As part of what it's dubbing "a rolling wave of price cuts to help with the cost of living", Morrisons has announced a new round of reductions, the sixth so far this year, which will apply to products in all its supermarkets and includes summer favourites, cupboard fillers and fresh essentials.

47 high-volume products have been cut in price by an average of over 25%, with the new prices being held for a minimum of eight weeks to help customers get more for their money.  Morrisons has invested £26 million in today's cuts to deliver market leading prices on key products and reinforce its commitment to saving customers money wherever possible. 

The price cuts include fresh items such as mince, tomatoes and butter, cupboard staples such as squash and cereal and picnic classics like pitta breads and scotch eggs.

Last month, Morrisons reduced or held the price of a further 1,000 products which will remain locked low until mid July. Offers have also been applied to fuel in recent weeks with customers being able to get 5p off every litre after spending £35 in store or online. 

As well as cutting the prices on products, Morrisons recently relaunched its More Card loyalty programme to allow customers to collect points on fuel and selected products in store which can be converted into ‘Morrisons Fivers’ and spent in store or online.  Morrisons programme of market-leading exclusive offers, which launched last October for loyalty card members, also remains a key feature of the new scheme.  

Rachel Eyre, who is the Chief Customer and Marketing Officer at Morrisons, said: “Providing great quality products at affordable prices for our customers is a key priority at Morrisons. Our steady flow of deep and broad price cutting programmes, together with our new More Card loyalty scheme, are helping customers save money on their weekly shop. Today’s price cuts include picnic items to help our customers make the most of the warm weather and we’ve not forgotten the fridge and cupboard essentials either.”
