UK's cheapest supermarket announced - and it's not Aldi or ASDA

The cheapest supermarket has been revealed - and it's not Aldi.

According to the latest monthly analysis from Which?, looking at August, Lidl was the cheapest supermarket.

The comparison – carried out by consumer group Which? – looked at the prices of 23 items, including own-brand products such as apples and eggs as well as branded goods such as Hovis wholemeal bread.

It beat rival discounter Aldi by just 43p.

Meanwhile, the most expensive supermarket - Waitrose - was more than £9 pricier than Lidl for an equivalent basket of groceries – that’s 38% more.

Groceries with some of the biggest price differences included own-label melon, which had a difference of £1.31 between Lidl and Waitrose, and PG Tips tea bags, which had a difference of £1.25.

Ele Clark, Which? retail expert, told The Mirror: “The weekly food shop can have a big impact on consumers’ pockets, which is why we check hundreds of grocery prices every day.

“Our latest analysis shows shoppers don’t have to pay over the odds for a trolley of popular groceries if they go to Lidl, which was the cheapest supermarket in August.

“Shoppers wanting to cut down on the cost of a wider selection of branded goods could consider shopping at Asda, which was more than £21 cheaper than the most expensive supermarket."
