IGA has slashed the prices of thousands of popular winter products for the next three months. It joins rivals Coles and Woolworths in dropping prices for shoppers.

The major supermarket chain has dropped and locked the prices on more than 3,000 products as part of its Low Prices Every Day initiative until July 30, 2024. Deals include Heinz Big Red Soup for $2, down from $2.50, while other items like Maggi Recipe Bases and 2 Minute Noodle 12 packs have continued to stay locked at $1.70 and $10 respectively.

Other items being reduced include butter and margarine, yoghurt, cheese, toothpaste, pet food, dishwashing liquid, nappies and baby food.
