Aldi has once again been named the cheapest
UK supermarket and it cost £37.46 less compared to the most expensive retailer. New research from Which? showed Aldi was the cheapest supermarket in March, where a shop of 71 items cost £121.06 on average. Lidl came in second place, where the same bill came to £122.95 on average. Waitrose was the most expensive supermarket this month, totalling £158.52 - a difference of £37.46 compared to Aldi. The list of 71 items included branded items, such as Dolmio pasta sauce, Heinz baked beans and Hovis bread, as well as supermarket own items, including milk and butter. The analysis includes special offer prices but not multi-buys or two-tier loyalty prices, which are only available to loyalty scheme members. Which? does not reveal which products it looks at. It compared prices at eight major retailers, including Aldi, Asda , Lidl, Morrisons , Ocado, Sainsbury's , Tesco and Waitrose. Ele Clark, Which? Retail Editor, said: “Our latest monthly analysis has once again seen Aldi maintain its position as the UK’s cheapest supermarket. Given the ongoing strain food prices are putting on household budgets, it comes as no surprise that many people are shopping with the discounters to save money . This is particularly understandable given consumers could save almost £40 simply by switching supermarket.” Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “Our continued position as the UK’s Cheapest Supermarket in 2024 is one we’re very proud of. At Aldi, we've pledged to cut more prices than ever before in 2024 and this is just part of our commitment to ensure we keep supporting customers. It’s great to consistently have this recognised by a highly respected consumer champion, such as Which?.” State pension to rise by over £1,000 a year from April - see how much you'll get Rare 50p coin sells for £139 on eBay and there are thousands more in circulation Cheapest supermarket - March 2024 Aldi - £121.06 Lidl - £122.95 Asda - £138.31 Tesco - £139.23 Sainsbury’s - £143.48 Morrisons - £145.19 Ocado - £148.18 Waitrose - £158.52 Ninja is offering £10 freebies and over £70 off their 'energy-saving' air fryer
