Aldi Bags Title as Cheapest Supermarket & Shoppers Can Save £14 On Food Shop

Hey Deal Hunters, Aldi has done it again! Consumer Watchdog Which? has announced Aldi is the UK's cheapest supermarket for a smashing 15 months in a row. If you're looking for where to get maximum value for your money, look no further.

Rachel Williams at The Daily Record reported that the commendation comes after a fresh monthly price comparison. Aldi has consistently offered the best deals for over a year, even with fluctuating food inflation and the ever-present financial concerns.

A small basket of 37 essential groceries at Aldi comes to an average of just £65.21. That's over £14 saved compared to the priciest option, which was from Waitrose at £79.51. And for those wondering about Lidl, they trailed just behind Aldi at £66.53. That's a teeny-tiny difference of £1.32.

For those of you doing a more extensive shop and comparing brands, Asda has swooped in as the cheapest for a larger basket of 133 branded items (think Cathedral Cheese and Andrex Toilet Paper). The totals excluded Aldi and Lidl due to brand variations. Asda's cart comes in at £325.35, with Morrisons a close second at £341.28.
