Lidl and Tesco to cut milk and butter prices
Ottoline Spearman
Lidl and Tesco will be reducing the prices of milk and butter.
In Lidl, the price drops will be effective immediately.
The cost of a standard two-litre carton of milk will drop to €2.25, while a 454g (1lb) block of Irish Creamery Butter will be reduced from €3.39 to €2.99.
Lidl said that it is "once again setting the pace for value in Ireland".
In 2025, €2 billion worth of products were bought from Irish suppliers, with €70.5 million worth coming from dairy suppliers.
Hot on the heels of Lidl's announcement, Tesco announced a similar price drop. Online, price reductions apply immediately, and will apply in store on Friday morning.
The cost of a two-litre carton of milk will match Lidl at €2.25, with a 454g block of Irish Creamery Butter also matching its competitor at €2.99.
