The country is currently in the midst of cost of living crisis which is seeing many households unable to keep up with the rising costs of essential items. Inflation is seeing food prices soar as well, making the weekly shop more expensive than ever before, but is it possible to do a weekly shop for £5.
Asda has brought out a bigger Just Essentials range to deal with the costs, and limiting items to three per basket, but according to Which? Aldi is still the cheapest UK supermarket reports MyLondon.
The consumer group compared a basket of 47 items from different shops and found Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's to be 18% more expensive than the basket from Aldi. CEO of Aldi UK and Ireland, Giles Hurley, said he would do "whatever it takes" to maintain this discount and to "keep prices as low as possible."
