Britain's cheapest supermarket has been confirmed and you may be surprised to learn that Aldi didn't take the top spot.
Which? carried out a price comparison that looked at the cost of 78 essential 'big shop' items at Aldi, Lidl, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Ocado.
The report, which factored in staples such as Hovis bread, milk, salad tomatoes and pasta, found the best value supermarket across branded and non-branded lines, reports MirrorOnline.
Which? said that the goods would cost the average customer £70.02 at Lidl making it the cheapest retailer out of the eight.
Aldi followed really closely behind in second place, where the 78 goods would have cost £72.23 in total.
Asda came in third, charging £80.15.
In contrast, the exact same items would have cost you £111.77 at Waitrose last month.
Which? also compared the prices of 175 branded items, such as Flash cleaning spray at all major supermarkets, excluding Aldi and Lidl, which stock only a limited number of branded goods.
Asda was found to be the cheapest at £299.78, while Ocado was the priciest at £402.82.
