Tesco Update

Those shopping in stores will be limited to three items per customer to ensure there is enough for everyone.

A statement said: "To ensure more people have access to everyday essentials, we are introducing a purchase limit of 80 items per order.

"You will also be able to purchase a maximum of three items per customer on every product line and we've removed multi-buy promotions.

"In product areas where demand is particularly high, we have simplified our range to get more of the most popular products on shelves."

Tesco has also increased the amount of delivery slots available to help vulnerable people get items sent to their home.
