Tesco has ‘new rule' for bakery products — and it involves 60p pastries
It's no secret we all love a bargain and most of us will also never be able to say no to baked goods. So many will be overjoyed to hear that Tesco is combining the two and offering shoppers items from their bakery section for half their regular price. In some of the retailer's supermarkets across the UK, customers have noticed signs going up which state that after 7pm loose bakery products will be reduced by 50% and this is thought to apply to everything except bread and gingerbread. This means that you'll be able to get many pastries for as little as 60p each as items like the All Butter Croissant, Almond Croissant, Chocolate Twist and Maple and Pecan Plait all cost £1.20 usually. However, according to regular Tesco-goers the reduction rule itself isn't actually new, but the time when the reductions are made is new. A post on the Tesco forum on Reddit earlier this year claimed that bakery price reductions were previously made in the supermarkets after 5pm. Customer u/MozzarellaBella85 wrote: 'Has half price bakery after 5pm stopped? I work late on Wednesdays and usually get a cheeky half price pain au choc to heat up and keep me going. But last week I was charged full price instead of the usual 50% off.' In response a fellow redditor replied to say that timings for the half price bakery items had changed earlier this year and that new signage was going to be put up in stores – as has now started to happen. They claimed that the 50% rule off would come into play from 7pm in large supermarkets Monday to Saturdays and after 3pm on Sundays. In Tesco Express stores, they said this would be after 7pm Monday to Saturday and after 5pm on Sundays and at Petrol Stations after 6pm. When asked by Metro, a spokesperson for Tesco confirmed that 'generally' markdowns on bakery items occur around 7pm each day, but timings can vary depending on the store. They did not clarify if timings were specifically different for Express stores and petrol stations, so to be on the safe side you might want to ask your local shop what time they'll be making reductions if you're keen to nab a bargain. Tesco added that the price cuts are made in a bid to prevent food waste and that the markdowns are popular with shoppers. Any food that isn't sold by the end of the day is redistributed to charities and community groups, or offered to colleagues for free. This comes after another supermarket shared some exciting news about its bakery products. Anyone who knows anything about Lidl will know that the in-store bakery is considered legendary – with a cult online following to rival the likes of Greggs and Gail's. More Trending On social media there are rave reviews for the products, with people hailing the bread and sweet treats as 'phenomenal', 'gorgeous' and 'divine'. The best-selling item is the All Butter Croissant and to give you an idea of just how popular this is, 122 of them are purchased every single minute And now Lidl shoppers could be in with the chance of nabbing themselves free pastries for a year, as the budget retailer has just created a brand new Bakery Gold Card – and there are 500 of them to be won.

More Trending Nine supermarket own-brand sausages were pitted against each other as part of the test and compared to several popular brands too. Ultimately, three ended up being named the superior 'best buys' of the lot. A panel of 65 consumers conducted the blind taste test for Which? and it was Lidl's sausages that came out on top as consumers loved their 'juicy texture', 'perfect meaty flavour' and 'herb and spice seasoning that hit the spot'. As well as being a Best Buy, Lidl's sausages also gained a Great Value award as they're well below average price-wise.

Two sausages contain 11.5g, which is more than half the recommended daily maximum for women and more than a third for men. Do you have a story to share?

Lidl reveals new 79p bakery treat and shoppers are obsessed
But now there's a new star in town (or on shelves) and it will only cost you 79p - plus, a popular sweet treat is making a return. The budget-friendly supermarket has unveiled a brand-new Strawberry Cheesecake Doughnut which will be available for patisserie lovers for a limited time only. Lidl's new 79p addition to its iconic bakery has soft, creamy, fruity icing on top and is made with sugar-dusted dough. The Strawberry Cheesecake Doughnut is said to balance tangy strawberry notes with rich cheesecake flavour. Customers have already taken to social media to share their thoughts with one saying 'these are quality' and are a 'bargain' compared to similar Krispy Kreme items. Others who have discovered the fruity and "fluffy" doughnut said Lidl has 'upped its game' and the latest bakery addition is 'delicious'. A post shared by Yeohan kim (Ali) (@djyeo_coffeeaddict) Meanwhile, bakery fanatics will see the nationwide return of Cheesecake Brownie (89p), back by popular demand. The gooey treat has a fudgy brownie base layered with cheesecake and a chocolate drizzle. The new bakery delights come as Lidl's limited-edition bakery goods continue to prove a hit with fans, following its latest launch, the Chocolate Brioche Croissant. Made as a combined croissant and brioche bun with golden pastry, filled with gooey milk chocolate on the inside and piped chocolate on the outside, it was described as being 'out of this world' by fans on TikTok.
