Aldi has been named as the cheapest supermarket once again according to two new polls.
Aldi was named the UK’s lowest-priced supermarket by trade magazine, The Grocer, in its independent price comparison survey. The budget store was also named cheapest supermarket in the UK for November by Which?.
The Grocer’s analysis shows that the Big Four supermarkets are, on average, £10.21 more expensive than Aldi on a basket of 33 everyday grocery items.
Aldi had the lowest price on 31 of the 33 products included in The Grocer’s analysis, which includes everyday grocery items such as milk, bread, eggs and apples.
The Which? Cheapest Supermarket price comparison looked at the cost for a basket of 22 items, including groceries and household essentials, with Aldi coming in the cheapest at just £21.28 – maintaining its position as the UK’s cheapest supermarket for the fifth month in a row.
Julie Ashfield, managing director of Buying at Aldi, said: “We know this Christmas is likely to be difficult for many families and so we are incredibly proud to consistently provide our customers with the best value groceries in the UK. We’re delighted that Aldi has been named the UK’s cheapest supermarket in not one but two independent price surveys.
“It is possible to make savings without compromising on quality; this is why millions of brits continue to choose Aldi to do their weekly shop, and it’s why we’ll ensure we keep providing the best quality products at the best possible prices.”
