Tesco has tightened its limit on the number of essential items customers can buy in “many” of its Express stores to just one.
The rationing measures initially restricted shoppers to a five-item limit on all products before cutting it to a three-item cap.
It also introduced a two-item cap on painkillers and loo rolls amid frantic scenes of shoppers panic buying and stockpiling.
But, as the UK remains in lockdown over the coronavirus crisis, Tesco has now dropped the number to just one essential item per customer in some of its Express stores.
