EasyJet opened a discount store

A mega-discount shop has been launched by easyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who aims to take on the budget supermarkets Aldi and Lidl.

The Easy shops offers a range of basic items at 'rock-bottom prices', with an introductory promotion this month of just 25p for everything – including sugar, tea, sardines, tomato ketchup, peach slices and Jaffa Cakes. A weekly shop for a family of four costs just £15.75 inside, and a three course dinner, complete with a pasta as a main course and a houmous starter comes in at just £2.75. (penzcentrum.hu)
