Aldi price hike means you can't buy two chicken breasts for less than £2.25 at any of the main supermarkets

A price hike at budget supermarket Aldi means that two chicken breasts can't be bought for less than £2.25 at any of the main supermarkets.

The cost of 300g of chicken has risen more than 25% at the store since we first began monitoring the cost of essentials in March. Back then, the same sized pack cost £1.79.

Aldi is still the cheapest for the meat - we reported just last week how Tesco had increased its pack to £2.40 - but it's adding further pressure to families who are already struggling with food and energy bills.
