Morrisons is the latest supermarket, following the likes of Asda, to announce it will be matching Aldi and Lidl prices on certain products.
Morrisons revealed that from Monday (February 19) more than 200 products on its shelves will be marked as being the same or lower compared to those offered at Aldi and Lidl.
But the supermarket chain said the new price match guarantee didn't necessarily mean price cuts on its products.
Morrisons said: "The vast majority of the products which are now Price Matched to Aldi and Lidl were already the same price, today’s announcement is about reassuring customers and helping to change perception."
This announcement comes following a similar price match scheme by Asda recently.
What Morrisons products will be price matched to Aldi and Lidl?
The new price match guarantee is only set to include a "sliver" of the products on sale at Morrisons - with more than 200 items to be included.
The supermarket chain said the products included in the price match guarantee were items people "buy a lot of".
The prices will be checked against its rivals twice a week.
Morrisons chief customer and marketing officer Rachel Eyre said: “We want to reassure our customers that we have hundreds of products that are the same price or cheaper, with the quality they’ve come to expect from us, than those available at Aldi and Lidl which is why we have launched our new Price Match.
“We hope this new campaign will bring our quality and value into even sharper focus for our customers.”
More and more customers switching to Aldi and Lidl data shows

Morrisons had 11.3% of the grocery market 10 years ago while in the most recent data from Kantar it only had 8.8%.
Over the same period Aldi’s market share has gone from 4.1% to 9.3%, while Lidl has grown from 3.1% to 7.5%.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
