Tesco Shoppers Snag Persil at Half Price in Bargain Bonanza

• Tesco shoppers find Persil reduced to less than half price.
• Photos and comments shared on Facebook reveal the deals.
• Other laundry products like Bold Gel and Comfort Ultimate also discounted.

Bargain hunters at Tesco are loading up their baskets with Persil laundry detergent, which has been marked down to less than half price. Shoppers quickly shared the exciting news on a Facebook group, revealing that the Persil non-bio was spotted for just £5.18 at the Tesco in Seven Sisters.

One enthusiastic shopper posted, "Such a great buy," while another added, "OMG got to get some." Alongside the Persil deals, photos showed XL Bold Gel and Comfort Ultimate Care fabric conditioner also being sold at significant discounts.

Tom Duffy at The Sun reported that this flurry of bargain buys is part of a broader trend where supermarkets are reducing prices on certain products due to changes in packaging. As shopper Elaine noted, "Changing packages apparently, so grabbed it while it was cheap because no doubt they change packaging and push the price right up."

The excitement isn't limited to Tesco; similar deals were found at Asda, where shoppers like Shelly Stoodley filled their baskets with discounted Surf Tropical Lily washing liquid, priced at just 90p. Shelly shared her delight, saying, "I’m just a two house household so will last a while."

In other news, shoppers have noticed that big bottles of Fairy Original and Fairy Platinum have shrunk in size, yet the prices remain unchanged. This shrinkflation means customers get less product for their money, with new 820ml bottles replacing the older 870ml versions but costing the same.

Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, commented, "It's frustrating to see shrinkflation impacting everyday products. However, savvy shoppers can still find great deals by staying alert and using available resources to their advantage."
