Post pandemic, consumers are looking for quick and easy meal solutions. To optimise on sales in this category, ensure that your shelves are easy to navigate and should space allow, group some grocery and dry goods together – for example, mince, tomato sauce, pasta and cheese – as inspiration for customers. And don’t forget to offer meat free and plant based meal solutions as these will continue to grow ahead of meat-based products; the average cost of a meat free meal is £0.88 versus £1.81 where meat or fish is included.“
