Cheapest UK supermarket revealed - and it's not Asda, Tesco or Aldi

If you're a bargain hunter when it comes to food shopping, chances are you'll have a shortlist of the best value supermarkets.

We all have our favourites and our own thoughts on which supermarket is the best value for money.

But one supermarket is the cheapest of them all according to the latest Which? analysis, and it's not Aldi or Asda.

Lidl GB has officially been named cheapest supermarket in June.

The supermarket, which is famed for being ‘Big on Quality, Lidl on Price’, received the accolade after Which? compared prices for a trolley of 78 items throughout June, including groceries and household essentials.

On average, Lidl customers would have paid £72.02 for the 78 items, which included own-brand products such as pasta, olive oil and salad tomatoes, as well as branded goods, while at other supermarkets, the same products would have cost up to £40 more.

The breakdown of results by supermarket are as follows:

  • Lidl - £72.02
  • Aldi - £72.23
  • ASDA - £80.15
  • Tesco - £88.28
  • Morrison’s - £90.27
  • Sainsbury’s - £93.93
  • Ocado - £109.61
  • Waitrose - £111.77

Ryan McDonnell, Chief Commercial Officer at Lidl GB, said, "At Lidl, we simply won’t be beaten on price - so we’re delighted that Which?’s analysis proves that. We know that families across the country are continuing to feel the impact of COVID-19 on their finances, so now more than ever, we’re committed to offering the best quality and value to our customers."
