Christmas Race Underway

The race for the Christmas shopper is underway in the British High Street with two supermarket giants: Asda and Tesco beginning to slog it out by announcing price cuts totalling £400m. Asda claims its own cuts will be worth over £150 to its customers

Not to be outdone Tesco has announced that is cutting the price of thousands of items in its stores with the claim that Tesco shoppers will save over £250m. An offer to attract customers is what they term an "essential turkey" for £6 and two frozen prawn rings for £5, as well as half-price offers on toys and bikes.
