Asda to slash prices
Throughout January, the price of 3,600 essential items including potatoes, carrots, grapes, bananas, milk, nappies, rice, bread, cheese and yoghurt, will fall.
A spokesman said: "The reductions are long-term cuts, with the vast majority lasting a minimum of six to 12 weeks."

Examples include bananas falling from 98p to 77p per kilo, and seedless white grapes from 4.47 to 1.77 per kilo.
The spokesman declined to give a figure for how much the initiative would cost the chain or to say whether any other prices would rise.
