More price cuts. Earlier today, SuperValu implemented long-term price reductions across its 194 stores. The cuts mean that the cost of an average weekly trolley of goods falls by €30 from €129.96 to €98.56, a drop of 23%.
SuperValu’s cost reductions will not impact on their use of Irish suppliers or producers, who provide 75% of all products on their shelves. When I was chatting to Irish food producers at Bloom in the Park a few weeks ago, I noticed that they consistently praised SuperValu for giving their products a chance and for being generally supportive. Any food producer can approach their local SuperValu franchise and ask if it will stock their products.
SuperValu have provided a table to highlight some of their price cuts. Will any of these make a difference to you? Would it make you more likely to shop at SuperValu? Let us know what you think.

I have to say that I love supervalu. Their selection is great as are their wine offers. Dunnes still get my weekly shop as Supervalu are a little more expensive but for other items, eg Glenisk cheesecake, speciality breads and cakes Supervalu is number one. I dont buy anything on their list of cut price items, but I will continue to shop there nonetheless.

Wow, big difference indeed! It makes you wonder why we paid so much for these items in the past?

It would certainly make a difference to me, and especially as they are supporting Irish producers. I think it’s more important than ever to be buying Irish (at the right price)!

I love SV as well and generally do shop there but going by the list of examples above Dunnes have already dropped their prices on a lot of the same products so not sure it really makes that much of a difference!

I work in SuperValu on the border and hopefully these will make a difference. SuperValu have really nice clean and modern shops
