Major supermarket reduces bags of vegetables to just 8p ahead of Easter
With just a week to go until the Easter weekend, many shoppers will be looking to get their hands on the best deals they can to save on their weekly food shop.
In time for the bank holiday weekend, one major UK supermarket has announced that they will be reducing the price on some bags of vegetables from Monday 14 to Sunday 20.
Over the next week Morrisons will reduce a selection of their seasonal vegetables to 8p for Morrisons More Card Holders.

The deal will give Morrisons shoppers with a More Card the opportunity to get their hands on carrots, parsnips and swedes for 8p, up until Easter Sunday.
Morrisons shoppers will also see a selection of the supermarket's meats at a discounted price over the next week, as well as Morrisons' 'The Best' potatoes reduced to half price at £1.10.
On Facebook, Morrisons posted a selection of their discounted meats and vegetables with the caption, 'Get ready for a delicious Easter feast! From fresh veggies to the main event - we've got you covered'.
Morrisons shoppers have since taken to the platform to express their excitement for the store's latest Easter deal, as customer Hazel Douglass wrote: 'Bought the veg this morning, cooking as we speak.'
Gareth Lloyd, Head of Marketing Events at Morrisons, said : 'Easter is a time for families to come together and enjoy great food. We're proud to offer our customers quality, fresh British produce at prices that help make their celebrations affordable.
'With these huge savings, we're making it easier for everyone to enjoy a traditional Easter meal without compromising on quality.'
He added: 'These vegetable price cuts are part of Morrisons ongoing commitment to deliver quality and value, particularly during key seasonable moments when food plays an even bigger role within our customers' households.'
The supermarket's latest deal also follows a number of other UK supermarket retailers who have reduced the price of groceries in the run up to the Easter weekend.
Morrisons' price drop follows Lidl's own announcement that they would cut the price of six seasonal vegetables to 15p as part of the store's Easter Pick of the Week Deals.
Aldi shoppers have also seen discounted Easter deals with the supermarket also announcing they would also be reducing the price of five popular grocery items to 15p.
Morrisons' reductions on selected veg in the run up to Easter also comes after the store announced that they would be giving away free breakfasts to families over the school holiday for the third year.
Morrisons Café Senior Buying Manger, Chris Strong, said: "The breakfast club partnership with Kellogg's has proved incredibly popular with our customers and we are delighted to bring it back for a third year.
"We have helped many families across the UK since it was first introduced and will continue to do so during schools' Easter holidays.'
