It pays to keep an eye on rising prices at the nation's biggest supermarkets - as we've discovered this week. Prices have risen on minced beef at Aldi - and that has had an unexpected knock-on effect over at Sainsbury's.
For Sainsbury's promotes the "Aldi Price Match" system, as does rival Tesco, which sees them vow to track the price of a range of items at budget supermarket Aldi.
The aim is to keep prices as low as possible to create a level playing field for shoppers. But this week the Aldi Price Match system has seen Sainsbury's INCREASE the price of beef mince to reflect Aldi's price increase of 10p made on its 20 per cent fat mince.
