Sainsbury’s chief executive Mike Coupe said yesterday that the change to Brand Match – comparing only with Asda and ditching Tesco – was to clarify the communication. He said: “Customers overwhelmingly perceive Asda to be the cheapest grocer so we are focusing on that and making sure our customers understand that we match them on brands.”

He said: “Customers are finding though that we are cheaper 50% of the time anyway.”
